Reva has really touched a nerve while we are surrounded by narcissists -
including the POTUS.
How do we survive this time in history?.
How do we trust anyone? -
Everyone should read this book -
It’s literally a life saver.

Eye opening.

I left my abuser for the final time in March and three months later I still feel lost. I am still playing situations in my head over and over, trying to figure out what I could have done differently. Thinking the problem is always me. Being around a narcs family who all told me I was wrong. 8 years of suffering broke me and turned me hallow. Slowly I feel pieces of my own consciousness coming back, but then it is lost. I still haven’t healed, but it’s because I haven’t been given the time to really acknowledge things and see them for what they truly are. I haven’t finished a book in years, this was the first time I was able to truly read and stay focused. Thank you, you’ve given me valuable information that will help me on my journey. I hope family members and friends of narc abuse victims read this too.

Excellent book. Now realize I have been a victim of abuse for over 60 years. Firstly by my husband and then continued through my son and daughter.
Now at 76 years of age, I am hoping, through the enlightenment of this book, to enjoy my remaining years in a more peaceful way..
Will start by distancing from my abusers and hopefully will find a good councillor..Enough years stolen from me.

This book was not my favorite. The beginning seems like just someone's options with no proof to back up any of their claims. I felt there was a real problem with the structure of this book. There definitely is some personal feelings in this book. I did find parts helpful.

I got this book to help me understand "Gaslighting" to be honest I hadn't heard about it before until it happened to someone close in our family! I have to say that this book has helped me a great deal and it was very well written.

READ ON KU!!!

A deep look into gaslighting

I enjoyed this book. She walked is through the traumatizing experience that many of us can't come to terms with.

Brilliant

Very good book with good explanation. Gaslighting is very common but rarely recognised. Reaching straight to the point. I do recommend
