Invisible Abuse: Instantly spot the covert deception and manipulation tactics of narcissists
They make you feel like they are tolerating you , not investing in you as you are with them, and this makes you feel alone, even in a relationship. While these two common warning signs may make you feel like something is “wrong” with you, they actually indicate strongly that you may be in a relationship with a narcissist , and you should not ignore them. You may also find your partner to be very controlling, down to what you wear or eat. You may feel like you’re walking on eggshells around them, not comfortable or at ease (this is a big one). If this is the case, it’s possible that you may be suffering from Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome. And now you have taken the first step towards seeking the truth. Properly orienting yourself is critical for those suffering under a narcissist because, as you may have observed, the narcissist will often assert their reality onto you . This can cloud your judgment and make it very easy to readily accept behavior that is neither normal or healthy. And worst of all, the abusive tactics of narcissists are almost always covert, making them difficult to spot, and giving the narcissist “plausible deniability” when confronted that can result in hair-pullingly frustrating arguments that seem to go nowhere. Take a deep breath. If you feel guilty or at fault, it’s only the narcissist’s voice talking in your head . The sole purpose of this book is to unravel that web the narcissist has spun so you can have a clear vision of the condition, take the steps to heal from any trauma that has occurred, and prevent it from happening all over again. Inside these pages you will And much more… Don’t let a narcissist convince you that nothing is wrong! Or worse, that you are the problem. You may have attempted to approach the problem before, and feel like there is no hope for change, but arming yourself with the facts can completely revise your outlook and change your results . Take control over how you approach relationships in your life! Scroll up and add this book to your cart!

One of the Better Narcissist Books
I'm not quite sure why, but it seems like there are a lot of books out lately on the topic of narcissism. Does this say something about our society? Hmmm. This book, I thought, was better than most that I have read on this subject. All of these books seem to have a similar format, starting out with a discussion of what narcissism is clinically, moving on to advice about how to handle the narcissist in your life, then discussing how to get out of that relationship, and finally how to heal from it so you can move on to healthier relationships. I thought that perhaps the author was a little too jargony in places, and the constant use of initialisms was a bit confusing, as it isn't always easy to remember what all the different ones mean. I like that the author included lots of references to scientific works, though I do question why she used the APA manual from 2013 rather than the more recent one. That said, the book still had some elements to recommend it. One section I found most interesting was one that is rarely seen in books about narcissism (which typically seem to focus on romantic relationships): about narcissistic mothering; I found this chapter fascinating. I also liked that she gave very concrete steps of how to deal with narcissists in certain situations, including the exact words to say. I don't think any of the other books I have read on narcissism have been that precise. If you have a narcissist in your life, or think you might, you may very well benefit from this book.
