Dealing with a Narcissist: Disarming and becoming the Narcissist's nightmare. Understanding Narcissism & Narcissistic personality disorder. Healing after hidden Psychological and emotional abuse
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 narcissist 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 ex
- 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 depression
The 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 ex 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 narcissist can create.
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.

Not what I expected.. No references
This book, like the Narcissistic Abuse one, seemed like a great starting point.. however it again reads like someone’s school paper turned into a book format. When I received it, I flipped through it and immediately noticed there were no references or sources listed about where the information came from.. which is alarming. I read one sentence about experts estimating that narcissists lie 80-90% of the time, and saw there was no reference to where this claim came from, and had to be done with the book. You can’t make claims about human behavior like that without providing the sources from which you got the information to back it up. People will believe just about anything they read and it’s important to make sure what they are being given to read is reputable and supported by legitimate evidence. Unfortunately this book is being returned at about half the cost of the book itself.
Included a fair amount of pathos
This book has a lot of information, but is coming from a very emotionally charged stance. Good for someone who is angry or upset about narcissism. Perhaps not ideal for someone objectively hoping to learn about narcissism and ways to handle a narcissistic individual.
DO NOT purchase this book; it is NOT a good guide to Narcisstic Personality Disorder!
Do not buy this book if you are mid-level to advanced in your knowledge of narcissistic personality disorder and the terms employed when discussing this disorder and the behaviour of its sufferers. I bought it because I wanted it to teach me in depth how to practice "the grey rock" method in dealing with people with narcissistic traits, NPD sufferers and other toxic individuals. This book does not employ proper terminology and basically just states that narcissists are bad ( over-simplification). One needs to learn everything there is available when dealing with someone who has NPD, just has narcissistic traits or is a toxic person. Do not buy this book.
A Tricky Subject...
I really like that this book starts off by introducing the concept of narcissism and what it actually is. There are a lot of misconceptions about narcissism out there. I think this book does a great job of teaching you to recognize narcissistic behaviors, manipulation, etc. This is a fascinating read and could be very helpful to anyone who has to deal with narcissists in their life.
Recover from narcissistic behavior or abuse
If you have ever suffered the consequences of dealing with a narcissist, this book is an excellent tool that can help you see the red flags going forward, while also helping yourself to be more aware of when the situation arises. Though the book did lack references or sources to cite the information mentioned, I found it to be helpful and convincing for readers who have deal with the troubling situations that come with a narcissist. No one’s self esteem should suffer at the hands of another person and this book includes the information necessary to help start the recovery process.
Illuminating guide to narcissists
This book has a wealth of information on how to handle narcissists. The author's main point is to not get sucked down to the narcissist's level. As the author notes the best course of action is to not engage, but that is not always possible. So, the book shows you how to handle various scenarios. For example, how to recognize when you are being gaslighted and to handle it by verifying everything the narcissist tells you. In general, I found the author's writing style easy to read and understand. I also found the info helpful and important.

Once you a drawn in, it’s a struggle to maintain your sense of self and not be absorbed by the needs of this egocentric person. The relationship is unhealthy and the abuse can be subtle.

For anyone who knows someone with a narcissistic personality
I recommend that everyone should read this book. It is very helpful if you have someone in your life who has a narcissistic personality. I wished I had purchased this book years ago. It would have prevented a lot of heartache. Anyone who has a narcissist in their life should read this book.
Some good information, not so good
I thought this book had quite a few helpful suggestions. There also seemed to be some unsubstantiated claims and information offered as fact that was opinion. I have several narcissists in my family and have worked first as a mental health professional and then as a licensed psychologist for almost 40 years. I am convinced many narcissists truly believe that they are superior and don't loathe themselves. Certainly, there is a group of narcissists who have been taught from birth they are special for one reason or another and have erroneously internalized that belief.
