To help clients recognise negging, start by educating them about the concept. Discuss the characteristics of negging, which typically involves backhanded compliments or subtle insults intended to undermine self-esteem. Use open-ended questions to encourage clients to reflect on their interactions. Ask them to describe how they feel after conversations with specific individuals and whether they often find themselves questioning their worth. This can help clients identify patterns of behaviour that may be detrimental to their self-esteem and relationships.
