Being in a relationship with a narcissist is like being on a roller coaster ride that never ends. One moment, you feel loved and adored. The next, you can't do anything right, and nothing you do is good enough. Narcissists have often been described as having a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. They are unpredictable and unstable. You find yourself walking on eggshells around them, worrying about what may set them off next.
If you're in a relationship with a narcissist, it's critical you understand the pathology of their personality and why a relationship with them will inevitably drain, exhaust and confound you. Underneath the flashy exterior of the narcissist is a fragile ego, which requires constant attention and validation. The implications this has on a relationship are far more damaging than you may realize. The narcissist will only cause you pain because they are incapable of love and terrified of intimacy. They will push you away when your relationship becomes too serious, and manipulate and abuse you, for as long as you allow it, or fail to recognize it. Narcissists are secretly sadistic and enjoy frustrating you under the guise of love. You need answers to understand why this relationship is so difficult, yet intoxicating, at the same time. Surviving the Narcissist provides the answers to these questions and more:- What is a pathological narcissist?
- Why can't they love or accept love?
- Why do they dread intimacy?
- What is gaslighting?
- Why do they keep coming back?
- Why can't I stay away?
The Six Steps within this book will provide you with the path, resources, and tools you need to break free from the narcissist's manipulation and abuse once and for all. The Seven Mantras will empower you to reconnect with yourself on a deep level and begin to practice the kind of self-love you deserve. Take back control of your life and join us on The Path Forward.
