The Surviving Narcissism Card Deck: 52 Cards For Healing Narcissistic Abuse
The deck provides an interactive, self-paced, and transformative experience that supports you in reclaiming your life from narcissistic control.
Hello and Namaste!
George Watts, your friendly yoga guide and the creator of the Online Yoga Lesson Planner. With years of yoga therapy teaching, and as a survivor of narcissist abuse, I felt an overwhelming urge to create these cards to help others suffering from narcissistic abuse.
Wouldn’t it be great if narcissists had a sign on them saying:
“Hey, look, I’m a narcissist. Avoid me like the plague!“
Unfortunately that doesn’t happen.
As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, I’ve learned first hand how deeply damaging these toxic relationships can be. My journey through recovery has been long, emotional, and filled with both pain and profound growth. I experienced narcissistic abuse from a family member—a dynamic that shattered my trust, eroded my sense of self, and left me grappling for years with confusion and self-doubt. But through the struggle, I found a pathway to healing.
The creation of my Surviving Narcissism Card Deck was an emotional experience for me. It made me cry—sometimes from sadness, but mostly from a deep sense of release and hope. This deck is therapeutic for me, and hopefully for anyone else seeking to heal and reclaim their power after narcissistic abuse.
This 52-card deck is divided into six categories, each representing a crucial step in the process of understanding, recovering, and thriving after narcissistic abuse. It’s designed to be a daily reminder, a guide, and a source of strength for anyone on their healing journey.
Whether you’re fresh out of a toxic relationship or still navigating the complexities of a narcissistic dynamic, this deck is here to help.

6 Surviving Narcissism Card Categories
6 Surviving Narcissism Card Categories
The Surviving Narcissism Card Deck is divided into six categories that focus on different aspects of narcissistic abuse and recovery. Each card provides practical advice, emotional support, and insights that I found invaluable in my own healing.
The six card categories are:
Blue (narcissist mind games)
Green (self-care & boundaries)
Orange (healing from trauma)
Red (recognising red flags)
Gold (empowerment & rebuilding)
Purple (support systems)
Overview Of Each Category In The Deck
Below is an overview of each category in the deck:
Category 1. Narcissist Mind Games (10 Cards)
This category exposes the manipulative tactics narcissists use to keep you confused, controlled, and dependent. Recognising these games is the first step in breaking free from their influence.
Some of the cards in this category include:
Gaslighting: A tactic where narcissists make you question your reality. They’ll deny facts, twist conversations, and make you doubt your own memory. Learning to trust your perception is key to breaking free.
Love-Bombing: Narcissists often shower you with excessive attention early on to create an illusion of closeness. Once they’ve hooked you, the manipulation starts. Awareness is your defence.
Triangulation: This card explains how narcissists manipulate others to gain control over you by creating conflict, jealousy, or comparison between you and another person.
Category 2. Self-care & Boundaries After Narcissistic Abuse (10 Cards)
This category is dedicated to reclaiming your personal power by setting clear boundaries and practicing self-care. You can’t heal without first learning to protect yourself.
Some key cards include:
Set Clear Boundaries: Learn to say “no” without feeling guilty. Boundaries are not just about keeping narcissists at bay—they’re essential for every relationship.
Reclaim Your Time: Narcissists thrive on controlling your time and energy. Reclaiming both is an act of self-love.
Guard Your Energy: Protecting your emotional and mental space is just as important as physical boundaries. The card offers strategies for preserving your well-being in draining environments.
Category 3. Healing From Narcissistic Trauma (10 Cards)
This category focuses on the internal work needed to heal from narcissistic abuse. It encourages self-compassion, reflection, and emotional release.
Highlighted cards:
Acknowledge the Pain: Healing starts with accepting the hurt. This card guides you in allowing yourself to feel and process the pain, rather than suppressing it.
Self-Compassion: This card reminds you to treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a loved one. You deserve grace, not criticism.
Therapy Is Strength: Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness but one of immense strength. This card encourages you to explore therapeutic support as a tool for healing.
Category 4. Recognising The Narcissist’s Red Flags (8 Cards)
Recognising narcissistic behaviours early can prevent a great deal of harm. These cards teach you how to spot the warning signs in new relationships and interactions.
Some of the red flags include:
Inconsistent Behaviour: Narcissists can swing from overly charming to cold in an instant. This card teaches you to recognise these unsettling mood shifts as manipulation tactics.
Lack of Boundaries: Narcissists often ignore your personal boundaries. This card helps you spot the signs and stand firm in your right to set limits.
Extreme Charm: Narcissists are often overly charming to mask their true intentions. This card helps you differentiate between genuine kindness and manipulative charm.
Category 5. Empowerment & Rebuilding After Narcissistic Abuse (8 Cards)
Once you’ve distanced yourself from the narcissist, it’s time to rebuild your sense of self. These cards focus on empowerment, reclaiming your life, and moving forward with confidence.
Some empowering cards:
Rebuild Your Identity: After being in a narcissistic relationship, you may feel like you’ve lost yourself. This card encourages you to rediscover who you are and embrace your strengths.
Find Your Voice: Speak your truth without fear of retribution. This card guides you in asserting yourself, even in the face of resistance.
Celebrate Small Wins: Every step forward is progress. This card reminds you to celebrate even the smallest victories in your healing process.
Category 6. Support Systems & Moving Forward (6 Cards)
No one heals alone. This category highlights the importance of building strong support systems and finding healthy ways to move forward in life.
Highlighted cards:
Find Your Tribe: Healing is easier when you’re surrounded by people who understand and support you. This card encourages you to seek out friends, support groups, or online communities that lift you up.
Share Your Story: Telling your story is an act of courage. This card suggests that by sharing your journey, you not only heal but also inspire others on their path to recovery.
Healthy Relationships Exist: After narcissistic abuse, it’s easy to lose faith in relationships. This card is a reminder that healthy, supportive connections are possible and essential for your well-being.

Bonus Bliss: Yin Yang Yoga Lesson Plan Bundle
With this bonus, I will give you the Yin Yang yoga lesson plan bundle that I created for my yoga students.
When the Yin and Yang of your body are in disharmony, it’s like trying to ride a unicycle with the spokes of the wheel short on one side and long on the other. The hub is out of centre and your ride is very bumpy. If you continue for long, you’ll break the wheel and perhaps the bike. And if your body continues in disharmony for long, illness shows up.
