The Cycle of Abuse and Manipulation The Cycle of Abuse and Manipulation is a common pattern in narcissistic relationships that can keep victims trapped and unable to break free. This cycle typically consists of four stages: idealization, devaluation, discard, and hoovering. During the idealization stage, the narcissist may love-bomb their victim, showering them with attention, compliments, and gifts. However, as the relationship progresses, the narcissist may begin to devalue their victim, criticizing, belittling, and even emotionally or physically abusing them.
