Empath and Narcissist Code

Mastering the Art of Protecting Your Energy: Recognize Narcissistic Behavior, Avoid Emotional Vampires, and Heal from Abuse

Protect Your Energy, Reclaim Your Identity, and Finally Break Free From Narcissistic Influence

Constantly feel responsible for other people’s emotions even when they’re hurting you?

Do you second-guess your reality because someone keeps twisting the truth or making you feel “too sensitive”?

Are you exhausted trying to keep the peace while the other person never changes?

For years, you may have tried to fix, heal, understand, or love them better — believing the relationship could finally feel safe one day. Meanwhile, their needs always came first, and your emotional energy was slowly drained to zero. You didn’t “fail” - you were targeted. Narcissistic personalities seek out empathetic, emotionally open people because you give what they can’t generate within themselves.

Empath and Narcissist Code doesn’t ask you to be nicer, more understanding, or endlessly forgiving. It guides you to reclaim your emotional territory, create non-negotiable safety around your energy, and rebuild your identity from the inside out — on your terms, not theirs.

This isn’t another book telling you to “just leave” or “just set boundaries.” If it were that simple, you’d already be free. The real trap is the emotional bond, the confusion, and the self-doubt that formed over time. This book breaks that bond at the root and shows you why you stayed and how to step out of the cycle without losing your compassion or your identity.

You’ll return to yourself — stronger, clearer, more grounded than ever.

Break the pattern and protect your energy. Your healing doesn’t start when they change. It starts when you do.

Finally Put Words to What I’ve Been Feeling

I went into Empath and Narcissist Code feeling emotionally exhausted and skeptical. I’ve listened to a lot of books on narcissism, and many of them either feel too clinical or overly dramatic. This one surprised me in a good way. What stood out most was how clearly it explained why empathic people stay stuck not because they’re weak, but because the emotional bond is confusing, gradual, and deeply human. The book doesn’t shame you or tell you to just leave. It actually acknowledges how tangled and disorienting these relationships can be, especially when you’re someone who naturally feels deeply and gives a lot. As a performer in theater, I’m very tuned into emotions both mine and other people’s and this book helped me see how that sensitivity can be a strength and a vulnerability. It put language to experiences I’ve felt for years but couldn’t quite articulate, especially the slow erosion of identity and energy. The narration felt calm and steady, which made it easier to absorb without feeling overwhelmed. Some sections repeat ideas, but honestly, when you’re healing from emotional manipulation, repetition helps things sink in. This isn’t a magic fix, but it’s validating, grounding, and empowering. I finished it feeling clearer, less confused, and more anchored in myself. If you’re an empath who’s tired of doubting your reality and carrying emotional weight that isn’t yours, this listen is worth your time.

Raw, Honest, and Life-Saving

This book is not holding anything back, and I love that about it. Empath and Narcissist Code is the kind of raw, honest advice you need when you're in the middle of a toxic mess. When she described the "trauma bond," I finally understood why it was so hard to leave.

I couldn't put this down. It’s so compelling and validating. Regina Nunez makes you feel like you're not alone in your struggle.

I feel so much lighter and stronger after finishing this. I have a new sense of confidence in my ability to protect myself. This is a must-have for your library.

Finally Helped Me Understand Why I Stayed

I went into Empath and Narcissist Code not expecting miracles, just clarity and that’s exactly what I got. This book doesn’t sugarcoat or rush the healing process, and I appreciated that. It helped me understand why I stayed stuck in emotionally draining dynamics instead of just telling me to set boundaries or walk away, which honestly never felt that simple. As a dancer coach, I’m constantly giving energy, reading people, supporting others emotionally and this book made me realize how often empathic people like us are targeted because of that openness. The explanations around emotional bonding, confusion, and self-doubt really hit home. I didn’t feel blamed or weak; I felt understood. The narration was easy to listen to and grounding, and I found myself pausing often just to sit with certain insights. This isn’t about becoming cold or closed off it’s about reclaiming your identity and learning how to protect your energy without losing your compassion. If you’re exhausted, questioning yourself, or feel like you’ve been shrinking to keep someone else comfortable, this listen is worth your time.

Very Eye-Opening and Easy to Relate To

As a factory worker, I spend long hours listening to audiobooks while working, and this one truly stayed with me. Empath and Narcissist Code put words to feelings I’ve carried for years but never fully understood. It helped me see why I was always emotionally exhausted, questioning myself, and trying to fix people who never took responsibility for their behavior. What I appreciated most is that this book doesn’t blame you for being empathetic, and it doesn’t give unrealistic advice like just leave or just set boundaries. It explains the emotional bond and confusion that keep you stuck, and it does so in a compassionate, validating way. The message made me feel seen instead of judged. The narration was easy to follow, even during tiring work shifts. This audiobook helped me understand that protecting my energy is not selfish and that healing starts with me, not with waiting for someone else to change.

Finally, someone put my life into words!

I’m actually shaking a little bit after finishing this. For years, I felt like I was just "too sensitive" or "dramatic," but Regina Nunez saw right through that. There was this specific moment in the second chapter where she describes the feeling of walking on eggshells, and it hit me so hard I had to put the book down and just cry for a minute. I knew right then that I wasn't going to sleep until I reached the final page.

The way she writes is so warm—it’s like she’s sitting right there on the couch with you, handing you a tissue and telling you it’s not your fault. It doesn't feel like a clinical textbook at all; it feels like a heart-to-heart with a big sister who finally cracked the code. I didn’t just read this book; I lived it, and it felt like I was finally being given permission to take up space again.

I have a massive "book hangover" now, but in the best way possible. I feel so much lighter, like I’ve dropped a weight I didn’t even know I was carrying. The ending isn't just a "happily ever after"—it's a "now your life actually begins." If you’ve ever felt drained by someone you love, please, just read this. It’s a total game-changer.
