Summary

How many times have you heard the quote “Love heals everything” or “Love is the only hope in life” or something similar to those lines?  When you look around you, you see all these people happily in love and singing poems about the wonders of love. And then you are confused why you are not able to feel anything on those lines. All you feel is a pit in your stomach, a sense of fear and of always being on edge, but all you did was love, right? You did or are doing everything right, yet this “love” does not seem to be magical or does not seem to be healing you; rather, it appears to be destroying you by driving you crazy, and you notice that you have changed not for good.  My first book on Narcissistic abuse was published in October 2018, and I started writing it just to share what had helped me after I left my husband after 10 years of emotional abuse. I had been researching a lot on the subject and found some great books online however I just wanted to share the scriptures and prayer plan that had helped me and a few women in my close circle, to get over our terrible experiences. Even though I had been divorced for three years at the time I wrote the book, I didn’t feel ready to share my personal story. In this book, I will share parts of my story, not because I want to prove a point of how much I suffered, but I realize that survivors of psychological abuse share the same fears, and the purpose of my writing this book, is to hold your hand and give you the courage to face yours as I still do every single day to this very day.   I am assuming that if you have arrived here listening to this book, then you have already begun the journey of true healing and magic. God has directed our paths to cross at this moment in time and I feel privileged to help guide you in the right direction to find true healing and peace. Love, for sure, heals and is magical but only when done in the right manner. In the name of love, people can be poisonous and damage even the strongest souls. It is for this reason that love with a narcissist is bad because it is the wrong type of love. A narcissist does not understand love the way normal people understand it. Narcissistic abuse is high on the ranks of toxic forms of love. It damages and destroys the soul like no other, completely changing the way you look at yourself. It rips your soul apart and causes destruction. And that is the biggest danger because no matter how the world looks at you, once your idea of yourself changes, then the damage is done.  In this book, you will be taken on a journey of healing by understanding the various forms of abuse, the ways to heal, and finally, the ways to find closure.  If you are not the victim who is listening to this but know someone who may be in the situation, then this book will help you empathize with the victim and help them deal with their situation.  Congratulations on taking the first step toward healing: accepting the problem. As it has been said, “to err is human, to forgive is divine”. By the time you finish this book, you will be able to forgive yourself and attain closure.   What are you waiting for? Click "Buy Now"!

Narcissistic Mothers

Summary

Do you want to learn how to how to survive the abuse of a relationship by parents with personality disorders and recovery from childhood emotional carelessness? If yes, then keep reading... Narcissism has its origins in Greek mythology where there was a young man named Narcissus. He was a Greek hunter from Boeotia and the son of the river god and a nymph. He was a remarkably handsome person. One day, Nemesis lured him to the edge of a lake where he fell in love with the water pool reflection of himself. Narcissus was so engrossed with admiring his reflection that he ended up drowning in the lake. In this day and age, narcissism is a theory used in psychoanalysis; the psychoanalysis theory has its beginnings in the 1914 essay on narcissism by Sigmund Freud. Also, the American Psychiatric Association classifies narcissism as a mental disorder characterized by neediness and admiration from others with a grandiose sense of self-importance and and lack of empathy for others. An obsession over one’s physical appearance, traits, and achievements at unnatural levels can lead to a distraction from daily life and activities. Narcissism Personality Disorder (NPD) is one of the three dark personalities together with Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy. These three dark personalities are referred to as the “dark triad.” People with these three disorders exhibit harmful behavior toward others. It will help at this point to not confuse narcissism with ego-centrism. Narcissists are all about their egos, just like the egocentrics, but there is a difference between a narcissist and an egocentric person. A narcissist only gets their fix of admiration or whatever it is that they need for the moment from someone else. Dealing with narcissism is very difficult because the people suffering from it do not see it as a problem; they believe they are perfectly fine and healthy. Any event or person that forces people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder to double-check themselves will not produce change because they will still perceive the facts about them as attacks. In this audiobook, you will learn more about: Narcissistic mothers Understanding narcissism Narcissistic personality disorder Characteristics of narcissistic parents The future of your relationship Narcissistic mothers and their sons How to deal with narcissistic parents Recovery Healing from narcissism How manipulations influence your mindset Therapy And more!

Toxic Relationships

Summary

Your energy is limited - that’s a basic truth you need to accept. Just like a car running on gas, or a battery that’s slowly drained of power with each use, you too can run out of energy. But what sets you apart from these inanimate power sources is that you have a choice. You can choose where to spend your energy resources, and you can choose to avoid the vampires that sap you of vigor. What’s unfortunate is that many of us don’t actually know where or who these energy vampires might be. So, we end up basking in their presence, spending all of our time with them, and losing our energy as a result of their toxic personalities. Another issue is that many of us don’t know why we need to avoid these types of people. What’s so bad about having them hanging around? The thing about your energy is that it gives you the will to go through your day to day life – the less energy you have, the harder it becomes to cope with all the things you need to deal with. Hanging around energy vampires can make you feel tired and unhappy and might make it difficult to find the willingness to go through everyday life. But there’s more to them than just that. When an energy vampire takes your positive energy, they replace it with negative energy. So aside from making you feel tired and unwilling, they can also plant seeds of anger, hate, sadness, bitterness, and other negative feelings that can have a strong impact on your outlook and the way you associate with other important people in your life. Soon enough, you yourself might become an energy vampire – bringing a cloud of sadness, anger, and destruction to the lives of others around you. And that isn’t something any of us should ever want to be. Energy vampires exist all around us, and some of them might be less apparent than others. Taking the form of family members, close friends, and trusted coworkers, these people can effectively hide their true form and fool you into maintaining them in your life just so they can continue to exercise their power over your emotions. However, just like those ever-popular Hollywood vampires, real-life energy vampires can only enter if you invite them in. If you can figure out how to spot them in your life, you can cut them out, shut the door, and limit your interactions with them so that you won’t have to suffer their toxicity. Now, you might be wondering, how exactly can you tell where these energy vampires are? What do they look like and how do they act? If they’re close friends or family members, how do you cut them out without making them feel unwanted or disrespected? And finally, how can you protect yourself from letting new ones enter your life? In this book, you will learn more about: Comfortable with not knowing Causes of toxic/negative behavior Setting boundaries Moving on The toxic termination process Exercises to try Public and private images of narcissists A narcissistic mother’s daughter Beating the narcissists at their own game Statistics on narcissistic personality disorder And more!
