I have read about shutdowns and meltdowns. But I don’t actually get what that looks like in real time.

What I understand is that meltdowns is when someone loses control of their emotions.

Shutdowns are when someone loses the ability to perform certain functions, e.g. the ability to speak.

I was wondering if someone could give a more explicit example, of what that actually looks like?

    A narcissist with psychopathic tendencies that has no integrity and rips their clients off by making them feel good in session to keep them addicted to her therapy without any substantial long-term mental health improvement.

        I would need evidence that I don’t have because it’s what I would gather from what she would tell me. Otherwise, I would sound like a vengeful ex-boyfriend. And like I said, she’s a great manipulator. Without hard evidence, she’d find a way to turn it around on me. Narcissists are going to be narcissists.
