Introducing: 12 Never-Before-Shared Stories From Women Recovering From Narcissistic Abuse

Does he treat you badly when no one is looking, including in the bedroom? Is he neglecting you or the opposite–do you feel like you have to give in to intimacy you don’t like and don’t want? Have you wondered if he’s cheating? Do you feel stuck and unable to leave?

When you try to talk to him about it, he gives you the silent treatment or goes into a rage–he acts like he’s the victim and blames it on you.

You’ve learned to walk on eggshells, and you dread going home to him.

Intimacy with him often pushes all your boundaries. It is either too much, too little, or doesn’t happen at all, and it gives you the “ick” but you can’t pinpoint exactly why.

These are tell-tale signs that you are with a narcissist, and the women in this book will show you you're not alone. But It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way; There Is A Solution.

This book demonstrates what narcissistic abuse looks like behind closed doors and how to recover.

Escape the world of isolation and mistrust

Its refreshing to see a title that combines both the topic of intimacy (in-to-me-see) and recovery from the narcissistic behaviors of a partner (or just someone in our personal network) because narcissists seem to have the uncanny and almost otherworldly ability of being able to see clearly our weak spots and deepest insecurities, weaponize them, and leverage them, sometimes for their own enjoyment or sense of power, or sometimes, for some kind of alternative agenda. Either way, our most fragile parts of ourselves are met with abrasive and destructive words and actions and treated as play things by narcissists. However, when we view narcissists as people that have come here to challenge us, force us to focus on those insecurities, bring them int the light, and eventually, alchemize them so they are no longer wounds, then in a round about way, the narcissists have actually helped us grow. And it’s this kind of mindset-enhancing perspective that Cara Adria Murphy (author) helps cultivate within listeners and readers that develops an unshakable sense of self-worth so that they no longer find themselves in relationships where they are cheated on and have to live in a world of isolation and mistrust.
