About this episode

Lee Hammock explains how narcissists use selective memory and other tactics to avoid accountability for their actions.

Why does a narcissist claim they do not remember the things they said or did to hurt you? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how narcissistic people may use selective memory, denial, minimization, blame shifting, and revisionist history to avoid accountability. This is not always genuine forgetfulness it can be part of a larger pattern that makes you doubt your own memories and feelings. Learn why arguing for an admission often keeps you stuck and how to focus on the pattern instead of chasing validation. Their refusal to acknowledge the harm does not erase what happened to you.
