Resumen del Editor

Clear, concise and empowering self-help about navigating and healing from narcissistic abuse by Australia's go-to specialist counselor

The love of a narcissist is fake. It's a soul-destroying realization for every victim of narcissistic abuse, but even more damaging is finding yourself trapped and abused by the person who claims they love you.

Nova Gibson has helped thousands of people in their struggle to understand, extricate themselves and heal from toxic relationships and narcissistic abuse. Drawing on the expertise gained from a decade of working with clients and her global online community, Nova offers comfort, knowledge and powerful strategies to help you identify, navigate and survive this extremely covert, confusing—and dangerous—form of abuse.

In this life-changing book, Nova brings unparalleled insight into the lived experience of victims and helps identify the behaviors of narcissistic abusers, such as coercive control and gaslighting, pathological lying, the love bomb-devalue-discard cycle, hoovering, smear campaigns and many, many more. She also helps you understand covert and overt narcissism, and explores in depth the concept of trauma bonding, which creates a powerful connection with your abuser and explains why and how you're compelled to stay, even when the abuse is impossible to ignore.

In this deeply compassionate book, Nova offers hope, support and concise, practical strategies to break the toxic cycle, extricate and protect yourself ... and most importantly, heal.

The most honest, easy to understand book on narcissism

This is a must read/listen for EVERYONE. Relating the abuse through characters in real situations made this such a powerful message. I felt as though she watched my most painful relationship and wrote about it; the beauty in that is it is helping me heal deep trauma and learn to give myself grace. Make note of the “13 things” at the end and really study/implement them. Well done. As painful as this was to hear, it was also extremely validating and empowering.

One of the best

This is one of the best books about narcissistic abuse, understanding what it is, and how to heal from it. I would recommend this book to anyone. It goes hand-in-hand with the book gaslighting and the book the passive, aggressive, covert narcissist. I’m so thankful I found this book, as it really hits home with what you go through and experience. It is also good for a family member to read to understand what you have been through highly recommend.

Perfect for those recovering from Narcissistic abuse

Just got done reading this book for the second time. Absolutely the best book I’ve ever read on narcissism and recovering from its effects. I got out of a toxic relationship over 2 years ago, and although I’ve come a long way in my healing journey, this book just helped me pretty much eliminate the residual bits of self-doubt that lingered in my head, even after 2 years of healing. Highly recommend it!

Comprehensive

This is the most informative and comprehensive book on Narcissistic Abuse that I have read.
