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. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help—like AA and rehab—while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already." 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.

Book excerpt: From a leading voice on recovering from toxic relationships, a deeply insightful guide to getting back to your "old self" again--in order to truly heal and move on. Jackson MacKenzie has helped millions of people in their struggle to understand the experience of toxic relationships. His first book, Psychopath Free, explained how to identify and survive the immediate situation. In this highly anticipated new book, he guides readers on what to do next--how to fully heal from abuse in order to find love and acceptance for the self and others. Through his close work with--and deep connection to--thousands of survivors of abusive relationships Jackson discovered that most survivors have symptoms of trauma long after the relationship is over. These range from feelings of numbness and emptiness to depression, perfectionism, substance abuse, and many more. But he’s also found that it is possible to work through these symptoms and find love on the other side, and this book shows how. Through a practice of mindfulness, introspection, and exercises using specific tools, readers learn to identify the protective self they've developed - and uncover the core self, so that they can finally move on to live a full and authentic life--to once again feel light, free, and whole, and ready to love again. This book addresses and provides crucial guidance on topics and conditions like: complex PTSD, Narcissistic abuse, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Codependency, Core wounding, toxic shame, Borderline Personality Disorder, and so many more. Whole Again offers hope and multiple strategies to anyone who has survived a toxic relationship, as well as anyone suffering the effects of a breakup involving lying, cheating and other forms of abuse--to release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.

Download or read book You Can Thrive After Narcissistic Abuse written by Melanie Tonia Evans and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heal your pain and break free from toxic relationships with this unique recovery program designed by one of the world’s leading authorities on narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse was originally defined as a specific form of emotional abuse of children by narcissistic parents. More recently, the term has been applied more broadly, referring to any abuse by a narcissist (someone that who admires their own attributes)—especially adult-to-adult relationships, where the abuse may be mental, physical, financial, spiritual, or sexual. If you have been through an abusive relationship with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, you will know that no one understands what you are going through unless they have personally experienced it. Author Melanie Tonia Evans was abused by her former husband for over five years, and it almost took her to the point of no return. At her lowest point, she had an epiphany that signified the birth of the Quanta Freedom Healing Technique, which she presents here. In this book, you will learn how to: • recognize if you are in an abusive relationship • detach or remove yourself from the narcissist's ability to affect or abuse you • identify your subconscious programming, release it, and replace it • focus on healing yourself to become empowered to thrive and not just survive With thousands of patients successfully treated worldwide, this revolutionary program is designed to heal you from the inside out.
Download or read book How to Heal After a Toxic Relationship written by Olga Fernandez Txasko and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-help book written by a survivor of narcissistic abuse.I have experienced the abuse of a narcissistic couple. I know what it feels like when the one you believed it was your great love leaves you broken and lost in this life. I've been empty, without direction. But I've been able not only to break the relationship, but to see the great value I carry inside me. This book revolves around you, the victim and not the narcissist or the abuser.It is important that you see that you have not been responsible for his behavior and that if you have been "trapped" into the relationship, it has not been because of his charm, but for the chemistry that his behavior has produced in you.You need to understand why you haven't been able to split up from him before, or why it is so difficult for you to do so. And if you have broken up, you need to know that the chemistry is responsible for sometimes "craving" to go back to him. You need to know that you are not a weirdo for it. It happens to us all. Don't diminish yourself for those feelings.In the break up from the narcissist emotional factors intervene. But the chemistry plays a great role as you will see in this book. In addition, the abuse you have experienced modifies your brain. Neuroscientists have discovered that long-term narcissistic abuse can lead to real physical brain damage. When we suffer constant emotional abuse, victims, we experience a reduction of the hippocampus, amygdala inflammation and inhibition of the prefrontal cortex. Which leads to devastating effects.It is important to see that you are not responsible for the behavior of the narcissist and that you have reacted in a certain way to survive, not because you have any intrinsic problem. It is necessary that you see and understand it in order to see your true value, that is independent of your achievements and is above of what others believe or say. It is very hard to see the true face of these demons, to digest that the person you have loved and to whom you have given your life to, does not exist. Opening one's eyes to the truth is very hard, but it is harder to live in an abusive relationship with mr. evil. In the book I give you the guidelines to carry out the zero contact, to get away from the toxic relationship. And if you can not do it because it is not your moment, I tell you how to apply the grey stone method that consists, basically, of refraining from any emotional reaction .But not only does the book show you how to get away from the narcissist, but it allows you to get rid of the limiting beliefs that the narcissist instilled in you.When we carry traumas and false beliefs that are not our True Self, that unconsciously keep us trapped, instead of taking care of ourselves, we continue to be the object of abuse and lack of esteem. But as you begin to be the source of your own life, you learn to live with healthy emotions, your true self comes to light. Your strength and your power come out, and the great woman inside you begins to live.Give yourself the opportunity now to take out that brave woman that lives inside and that has not been let out. Discover the great woman you are.I wish you all the best.
Download or read book Breaking Toxic Soul Ties written by Tom Brown and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going through this world in relationship with other people inevitably creates connections in our inner being called soul ties. When these relationships are loving, supportive, and nurturing, positive soul ties are created. But if the relationships become abusive or manipulative, or cause rejection, they create a toxic brokenness within our soul that we carry with us, even long after the relationship ends. If these toxic inner soul ties are not severed, we will experience failure, fractured relationships, and even health problems throughout life. In Breaking Toxic Soul Ties, Tom Brown describes his own story of rejection and the process of inner healing he experienced. He will help you to identify and diagnose toxic relationships as he explains the difference between positive and negative soul ties. He also shows why toxic soul ties develop and how they can only be broken by a process of inner healing that incorporates confession, forgiveness, and prayer. The truth is, unless your self-image is firmly rooted in the truth of your identity in Christ, you will always be susceptible to bad soul ties. Tom Brown describes the way for you to move forward in life and leave pain and brokenness behind for good!

They want to end the pain and recover, but it's just like trying to shake a drug habit.

Book excerpt: A guide to leaving painful, destructive relationships behind—both at home and at work Toxic relationships often come disguised as seemingly normal ones. These subtly destructive relationships are characterized by the slow erosion of self-esteem, a loss of personal identity, or a growing desire to please friends, partners, and family members who are impossible to please. In this uplifting and informative book, transpersonal psychotherapist Avril Carruthers will take a close look at adult relationships to show why we get involved in toxic relationships in the first place, and instruct the reader on how to recognize if they’re involved in one. Once the toxic relationship is identified, the author shows the reader how to begin their journey toward healing and how to meet the world with a new kind of confidence, so that the cycle of toxic relationships can be broken once and for all. What Carruthers teaches is just how possible it can be to learn how to recognize the manipulative or sweetly corrosive partner, the family dynamics that make Christmas and other get-togethers seem like hell, or the nightmare boss who causes daily torment—and that we can learn to leave these painful, destructive patterns behind forever.
