Book excerpt: As social creatures, we simply have the need to interact with one another for various reasons. And as you've probably experienced for yourself, not all the people you've had relationships with were ultimately good for you. For example, I imagine that sometime in your past you've known someone who regularly irritated you, another person who belittled you or otherwise diminished your self-esteem, and someone else who was manipulative or dishonest with you. Of course, no relationship is perfect since no individual person is perfect, and occasionally you need to strike a compromise in order to help a relationship develop into its full potential. Believe it or not, with enough effort from both sides, even seemingly hopeless relationships can be salvaged. With all that said, however, it's important to stand your ground when someone (especially someone who's important to you) starts to do more harm than good in your life. Unfortunately, relationships with the wrong people can adversely affect your daily life and even impact how you relate with other people in the future. Therefore, it's critical that you identify a toxic relationship as soon as possible, and make a change before it's too late. This book is designed to provide you with insight and clarity as to the health of your relationship, and it will help you come to terms with the fact that not all relationships are good for you in the long run. I'm also going to show you how to work towards repairing a broken relationship, and if it's beyond repair (or your partner is unwilling), how to prepare to let go. While most of the discussion here is directed toward romantic couples, you can certainly apply the same principles and strategies to relationships with family and close friends as well.

Book excerpt: To live with fear in your stomach, no longer having confidence in yourself, having lost the joy of living, often feeling sadness and misunderstanding … is it really Living? To love with the anxiety of not being up to the demands of the Other and sometimes receive only a few crumbs of “happiness” … is it really Loving? You know that something is wrong, without being able to define it. Like a poison. The memory of the person you were before fades away and you inexorably lose your bearings, your joy of living. Your memories, your contacts, your convictions are diluted little by little for the sole benefit of this person who is (maybe from a long time) in your life and claims to appreciate, to “love” you without really proving it for real … Isn’t it? The periods of euphoria and happiness in his/her company are becoming scarcer, replaced by doubt, distress, despondency. What is happening to you is not normal, right? This is not how a healthy and lasting love relationship should unfold. You know it well, deep inside yourself … But you continue to doubt this reality, to hope for a change … which is slow in coming … You no longer have the strength to react. You think you “deserve” somehow what is happening to you … You want it … The deep guilt you feel is too strong to objectively analyze the situation and make a life-saving decision. Then, you stagnate in your unhappiness, as a victim of a kind of paralysis which affects your soul and body. Where can all of this continuous pain come from? From a toxic relationship. Have you heard of “narcissistic perverts”? Maybe are you a victim of one of them? You are certainly a prisoner of a manipulator who has taken possession of your life, your memory, your projects and has kept you away from the people you care about. Now, he or she monopolizes all your attention, your love, your vital energy and take pleasure in your torments, your mistakes, your induced weakness. You must accept this terrible situation: you have fallen into an almost unstoppable trap. This is not your fault. Slowly, surely, patiently, she or he has abused you, questioned your beliefs, your values, deliberately sowing growing confusion in your mind. Your compassion, your sensitivity and your natural kindness have been his/her gateway, the confusion sown in you his/her weapon of predilection. He or she knows everything about you, but what do you know about this Other person you trust and still… love? This little handbook explains your situation, what narcissistic perversion is, how to identify and protect yourself from a narcissistic pervert. It offers clear steps to get you out of this toxic relationship, to break free from this awful trap where you risk losing your mental and physical health, maybe even more. You will also find, within, concrete ways to rebuild yourself. You will succeed in getting out of this toxic relationship! To love and live again. Truly. Make the right decision now!

Book excerpt: Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life—and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction.

But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit. Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.

Download or read book But It s Your Family written by Sherrie Campbell and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychologist offers a roadmap for those looking to break free of toxic family relationships and thrive in the aftermath. Toxic family abuse is always two-fold. The first layer of abuse is the original poor treatment by toxic family members, and the second is someone’s denial of the ways in which abusers treat and harm them. Loving someone doesn’t always mean having a relationship with them, just like forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation. A significant part of healing comes with accepting that there are some relationships that are so poisonous that they destroy one’s ability to be healthy and function best. But It’s Your Family is a remarkable account of what it means to cut ties to toxic family abuse and thrive in the aftermath. Inside, Dr. Sherrie Campbell clarifies: · How parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws can be toxic · The difference between flawed and toxic family members · Explaining the cutting of ties to children and others who may not understand · Spiritual and religious views on forgiveness · The definition of cutting ties and what No Contact actually means When readers are able to bring closure to those toxic relationships, they give themselves the space to love those family members from a distance, as fellow human beings, with the knowledge that it is unwise to remain connected. Readers learn how to love themselves in the process and fundamentally change their lives for the better!
