Excellent breakdown of narcissistic abuse, and the empath.

As a woman who grew up in the 60s & 70s, recovering from a highly dysfunctional family, I could relate to so much in this book. Abuse like this wasn’t talked about in those times, that I recall. This book is a deep dive in to the various kinds of narcissistic behavior, the tragic consequences of living in that environment, and how to come out the other side.

The book offers various scenarios to help the reader identify their situation. It also offers many ideas for healing including everything from journaling, to meditation, counseling, and even exercises. Use a notebook while reading, and take it a little at a time. Pause frequently, take notes and let the information sink in.

This is a book for deep thinking. It’s a book about perspective and introspection.
