Still struggling from the effects of a narcissistic or psychopathically abusive relationship?
Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. Narcissistic Victim Syndrome is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known.
Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it... The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissistic mother over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them.
DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- Ruined self confidence
- Doubting yourself and your sanity
- Mood swings
- Sleeplessness
- Extreme weight loss or weight gain
- Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity
- Feeling like you don't know the difference between right and wrong
- Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective)
- Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your mother
- Constantly trying to find explanations for what has happened
- Feelings of helplessness and despair
- A desire to self isolate
- Feeling desperately misunderstood
- Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief
- Extreme bouts of rage
- An inability to be comfortable with yourself
- Strange dreams
- Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depressionThe list goes on ...
"NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!"
I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot.
I felt the same way when I was recovering from emotional abuse at the hands of a narcissistic/borderline psychopath. If you try and tell people who have NO EXPERIENCE with a narcissist (there is no experience like being with a narcissist, its not their fault they can't understand) about it they will either deny your experience, tell you you are exaggerating or look at you like you were crazy.
"Maybe my mother is right, maybe it really is me...."
WHAT YOU NEED NOW:
- Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside.-Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissistic mother can create.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- How To Recognize Your Narcissistic Mother
- Signs of a Narcissistic Mother
- Treatment for Children of Narcissistic Mothers
- Things Narcissistic Mothers Say for Mental Manipulation And Control
- Protection Tips
- How to heal NOW from abuse!
- Separating From a Narcissistic Mother
And much more ...
I can't promise you that reading to this book is going to be a "total cure", but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.
This is not hype, this is what my audience commonly report

Good book
This book is absolutely one of the best written on this subject that I have read so far. It is well written and completely easy to follow.
Dr. Covert has really invested alot of herself and her time into this topic and it shows in her writings.
Right from the beginning she has used her knowledge about a narcissistic behaviors to inform to her readers at just what to look for and yet at the same time she has explained how this can result into several different forms of abusive treatment towards the victim by the abuser and not falling into just one type of classic behavior. Reminding me of how clothing that says "one size fits all" and yet that might not be the case at all. She instead gives her readers several, if not more than one different way at how the narcissist is capable of causing toxic abuse.
I would definatley recommend reading this book if you have had a narcissist in your life poisoning you with they're toxic behaviors, whether or not its mom or someone else.

Just okay.
It’s just an okay book. The more informative part was about the different types of narcissists & their varying methods. Considering it’s a very short book, that may make it worth getting into. Poorly written in some areas & some sentences are incomplete. Towards the end while talking about narc parents, the author says something about seeking therapy to find out why you allowed them to abuse you. Just no. No one, especially a child, allows themselves to be abused. They’re trust is taken advantage of & since normal & healthy people give people the benefit of the doubt & don’t actively seek to harm people, the blame lies squarely on the abuser for exploiting that.
Read if you wish, but definitely keep your expectations low. The aforementioned informative part is good for adding to your knowledge of narcs & how they operate but it can only serve as an addendum to already existing knowledge or for a launch pad for people just beginning to learn about it.

So helpful and inspiring!
This was one of the only resources I’ve read on maternal narcissism and recovering from its effects on my personality that has actually managed to inspire and motivate me instead of depress me. Also it covers all the bases and is the most informational book on this topic that I’ve ever read! Has outside the box and very practical potential routes for recovery... this book finally got me from dwelling to recovering thank you so much for writing this

Wow
I was essentially to grow up in a loving and supportive home. Unfortunately, everyone is not so lucky. This book is for people who grew up with narcissistic mothers, specifically. Great advice about dealing with and overcoming mo.my dearest.

Enlightening
This book was a good breakdown of what narcissism is, how to deal with narcissistic people, and how to recognize it in yourself and others.

Apparently the publisher didn’t have any editors available to review this before publication.

Gave a lot of insight to the dynamic of a household with a narcissistic mother and a permissive father. Which is what I grew up with.

No nonsense approach to a serious problem
Easy to read in laymen’s terms. Sheds light on a subject many are dealing with. Help is just a book away!
