I was in a seventeen-year relationship with an abusive narcissist and was subsequently diagnosed with chronic and severe PTSD.
I had the good fortune to be treated by an excellent psychotherapist with expertise in trauma.
EMDR was used in our sessions and I found it to be remarkably beneficial.

Because narcissists have a need to shame their victims. Additionally many have fixations about sex.
Psychiatric emergencies
The consensus is that they do not feel guilt. Read on for the reasons: The narcissist has a diminished capacity to empathize so he rarely feels sorry for what he does. He almost never puts himself in the shoes of his "victims". Actually, he doesn't regards them as victims at all! It is very common for the narcissist to feel victimized, deprived and discriminated against. He projects his own moods, cognition, emotions, and actions onto others. None whatsoever. It's a brutal and simple as that. If they seem to feel remorse, they are faking it and doing it to manipulate you because they can get more narcissistic supply from you. I they seem "too inhuman", you will leave but every now and then, they pretend to keep you along for the horror ride. Given the fact that they are out of touch with reality-they never realize what they have done to their victims .And since they can not tell fact from fiction , they figure whatever happened to you must be your own fault.The world of the narcissist is pure fantasyland.Guilt;accepting blame, or "I'm sorry" is not in their vocabulary. Not without professional counseling. No they don't. Even with professional counseling, they will at best agree that they did something wrong. Their lack guilt can anger their victims to the point of behaving in ways they would never have thought before, thus making the victim look worse than the Narcissist himself/herself.
Flat, on their back, on a level surface.
