How to Do No Contact Like a Boss!

The Woman's Guide to Implementing No Contact & Detaching from Toxic Relationships

By: Kim Saeed

Narrated by: Stephanie Murphy

Length: 3 hrs and 30 mins

Publisher's Summary

Love satisfies a basic human need for us to be close to and supported by a significant other. We are happier, healthier, and even live longer when we have strong, intimate bonds with other people. Relationships with romantic partners are a primary source of the close bonds we need to thrive. Being part of a healthy love relationship has been shown to increase longevity and improve mental well-being.

On the other hand, being at the receiving end of emotional abuse has the opposite effect. The long-term effects from being in a constant fight-or-flight state subtracts years from one's life, and often leads to complete dysfunction and, sadly, suicidal tendencies.

Anyone who is trying to leave an abusive relationship needs to impose very specific tactics in order to break away, heal, and move on towards a better life. Narcissists and emotional manipulators will do anything to get back in. While their unethical behavior should serve as a reminder of why one is enforcing No Contact in the first place, it's often hard to do when one is constantly bombarded with calls, emails, texts, social media notifications, and even in-person visits.

How to Do No Contact like a Boss explains the reasons for going No Contact and takes the listener through the initial planning stages, exit strategies, the moment of No Contact, what to expect in the days that follow, and how to deal with a persistent and/or abusive ex who refuses to respect one's request for No Contact. Also included are alternative healing methods that address what traditional therapy often overlooks.

Fantastic book with one qualm

Fantastic book, but as a heterosexual man, it is very difficult for me to read when the abuser is referred to in the masculine. I have to actively replace every "him," "he," and "his," with "her," "she," and "her," respectively. This renders the Audible version (which I paid for as well) unusable for me. It may seem like overkill, but I highly recommend that the author makes TWO versions of this book, one with the abuser referred to in the masculine (this book), and one with the abuser referred to in the feminine.

Thankyou Kim thankyou Audible/Amazon

This book has helped me to come through the darkest point in my 39 years so far. I never felt a book could help me so much. I can't believe ghow shocking it is toitoi hear stories just exactly Like my own experience. I felt so alone and helpless until this book .This book is written in such a organized fashion that it is as if the writer is next to you knowing the order in which your experience left you feeling from moment to moment. It basso many valuable resources and so much guiudznce on how to rebuild from tghe pain and hurt you suffered. This is book is wriiten so it is easy to understand, without comp!icated theories. This book is the vest I've read on toxic relationships and I've read a dozen. It is written and meant to use throughout your recovery,so you can go back to chapters and use as a tool. Also I must add the narrator is great and is not boring or annoying. The narrator is a perfect match for the material. Thankyou for this book Kim!!!

Very helpful. I dont feel so alone anymore.<br />

The information in this audiobook was absolutely invaluable to my situation. Just knowing there are others experiencing this same thing, makes me feel less pathetic. :) (Although my narc would insist that Im still just as pathetic...oh and unworthy of him...bleh!! Enough!!!)

Any additional comments?

When I got this book I had already gone no contact. I was having trouble with understanding the whys of what happened in my life and trouble with my decision to walk away. This really did a good job explaining why and how not everyone is capable of having the same kind of relationship that you are and how and why it's important to let go. I loved how many facts she put in and ways to cope.

Spot On

I couldn't put what I have been through in words because it has been so difficult to articulate.... but she did. Just hearing it began the healing process. I am not alone.

This Book Is My Best Friend!

I listened to this 3 times during my first week of No Contact. Leaving him was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. Kim Saeed just gets it in a way that will definitely resonate with anyone who has been in a toxic relationship. I just listened to it for a fourth time. It has been almost a month of No Contact and I don't think I could have left and stayed away without this book.

This book if Phenomenal

Please read this book in order to understand why you had gone through... under the spell of a narcissistic partner... why it hurt so much when you stop or wants to break away from...and the more important for me...understanding where the narcissistic abuser does things (by this I understood was nothing to do with me) and how the narcissistic abuser can never have a healthy relationship with anyone in this planet and will never recuperate either...a

Any additional comments?

I rarely write reviews, made an exception on this one.

YouTube videos on narcissistic abuse recovery are more helpful

That wasn't very much here about how to do no contact. It was basically about breaking down and analyzing narcissistic relationships.

Narcissist Repellent

No bs, this is the perfect book since it allows you to understand why a narcissist or psychopath hurt you and how to escape, literally. I love how it truthfully did call out how we sometimes allow them to sneak back in our lives and how we make excuses for their behavior.

Surprised how Positive this book is ♡

Full of day to day help I needed and also gave me the strenght and knowledge to do what I needed to do. I will be forever grateful for this book. I would highly recommend this book. It was full of empathy and loving advice from someone who I can tell has been through exactly what I have. I no longer feel so alone and am supplied with a plan of action at last. Namaste

I wished I read it four years ago!!!!!

From the moment I listened to this book I could not stop !!!!
Best book I have ever listened to, for me I had to hear all this.
Everything my whole life made complete sense.
I kept thinking about all the matches to my life, it made me feel strong, like I had someone with me, helping me. I’m now feeling proud of myself as I’ve been doing what she suggests, and have acted like she said people do!!! Omg such an eye opener for me. I’m so lucky to of come across this.

Fantastic content Kim. Stephanie, you ruin it.

I'll never understand why an author doesn't bother to read their own book? I've listened to so many books where the narrator isn't the author and they are not connecting sufficiently enough with the words on the page. This is what makes you connect as a listener. Sadly, this book is another example of this. Monotonous and therfore the points are driven home as well.

That said, there are many many great points and valuable lessons here, it's just that the narrator sounds uninterested, which isn't great for a book on such an important topic. Kim, read your own book for the better reviews!

Exectly what you need to know not more not less

This book is the air and the support you need when breaking with narcissus either partner or family.
