Intermittent Reinforcement Also Called Breadcrumbing And Dosing

Intermittent Reinforcement {also called “Breadcrumbing” and “Dosing”)
Narcissists will use this tactic to keep us in a damaging pattern of rewards and punishments. They condition us to behave a certain way so that when they get the desired behavior they are looking for, they will dole out their idea of a reward.
Which to us, is simply what any normal person wants and craves – love, attention, validation.
The Narcissists will mix in these rewards with their abuse so that we will be grateful for any “good” we receive.
