Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dictators aren't just for countries. You can find them in relationships as well. A dictator is someone who decides how everything will be done and fully expects others in his world to abide by his laws. This article outlines 3 signs that you are probably in a dictatorial relationship. This is the most obvious sign, but a dictator makes the rules. No one else is allowed to contribute to the rule-making. If your boyfriend decides all of the rules and expects you to live by them, you are probably dating a dictator. One person in a relationship cannot make all of the rules. That is not the way that a healthy relationship functions. When one person makes all of the rules that the other must live by, that is controlling. If you don't do what your boyfriend tells to you may feel punished. He might ignore you or leave the house altogether and do something enjoyable without you. That is a form of punishing you. He will make sure that you realize you've done something wrong. When someone is as passionate about his rules as he is, you will begin to believe that he's right. It's important that you don't slip into his way of thinking. If he wants to pout and ignore you when you don't do what he wants, let him. Do not let him punish you. Just go about your day as if he's not upset. Another adult who makes you feel bad and tries to punish you in some way is manipulating you. These are all signs of what a woman who has gone through, but there is an answer and that's in How to Deal with a Controlling Person, by Terence A. Williams. Grab your copy today.

Download or read book Passion killers The art of passion killing in the age of stress and anxiety written by Phillip Walden Bowen and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing pressure and stress placed on organisations to fight for customers and service/product placement in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. It has, therefore, never been more important to get the best out of the workforce. To achieve this, the role of the leader can be a fundamental factor in organisational success or failure. Leaders need to have the requisite skills to reflect the demands placed upon them in the 21st century. There are the “accidental managers” who just drop into the role of leadership and others who may develop skills and knowledge in readiness for a leadership role. There are also those who may have the innate ability to lead. Within the mix are those who are characterised by traits associated with the “dark triad” or who may use “pathocratic influence” on others to conform, reinforcing values (or lack of values) associated with toxic leadership. They create damage and harm. They become “passion killers”. The result can lead to a “pathocracy”. This book discusses the role emotional intelligence plays in helping people deal with stressful and challenging experiences, suggesting different ways to cope. The author reflects on the values that are integral to the success or failure of an organisation. “Passion” is identified as an added value that can differentiate one organisation from another. If passion is harmed, it can affect motivation, creativity, output, performance, and productivity. Therefore, this book provides the reader with examples of “passion killing” while making suggestions as to factors that can be adopted to engage and encourage passion. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made to support those faced with “passion killers”. This book is aimed at those of all ages and educational backgrounds interested in developing their leadership knowledge and skills. It is also aimed at those interested in learning more about differences in personality, emotional intelligence, stress, coping, values, and the importance of understanding the impact of “passion killers”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastation of a controlling relationship has to be endured to be believed. From the constant fear of upsetting your spouse, the walking on eggshells in case you've done or said something wrong, or the relentless feeling of anxiety, a controlling partner will beat you down until you no longer recognize yourself. Coercive control will see an abuser dominate their victim's life; from the food they eat, the people they see, the places they can go and the things they can say. A controlling partner, through fear and intimidation, will seek to ensure their victim is subdued, to the point of accepting any and all abuse that's fired their way. By manipulation, gaslighting, lies, and hurtful insults, the abuser will make their victim a willing puppet on a string, ready to be utilized how the controlling spouse sees fit. Coercive control is seldom talked about in comparison to other forms of abuse, yet it's so commonplace in relationships. Plenty of victims of this type of behavior may not even be aware that's it's full-blown abuse. Many more see controlling behavior as their partner's way of showing they 'care'. In order to shed light on this topic, and reach out to those who need help in understanding and overcoming a controlling partner, I have created this book as their starting point. I was shackled to a malignant narcissist for many years of my life, being controlled and manipulated, day-in, day-out. As a proud survivor of abuse, I feel obligated to help others in their journey towards getting their power back and recovering from the cruel effects of an abusive relationship. This book will cover the following: - what coercive control is - the devastating effects of a controlling relationship - financial coercion - breaking the spell of abuse - coercive control after separating I use my own experiences, as well as those of the survivors I've connected with via Escape the Narcissist, to help piece together the things you need to know about this type of abusive relationship.

Some more, some less, we are all dependent on the attention, gestures, and small things that the person we love gives us. For this reason, in every respectable relationship, relying on the partner and sharing moments of joy and pain with him are the necessary conditions to build a solid relationship Yet it often happens that we have the perception that we always dedicate our time and only to the partner. At the unconscious level, we are convinced that the love we feel for him is directly proportional to how much time and space we dedicate to the partner, while on the other hand, we do not realize that day after day we lose the most important thing we have: our freedom. Have you ever wondered how much time your spend on yourself? Have you ever wondered how much importance you have in your relationship? In the first phase of falling in love, it is a common attitude to immerse oneself 100% in the new relationship. We are overwhelmed by a powerful hurricane of emotions, and our only thought is to devote as much time as possible to the person we love. But all this is not normal and can become very dangerous when this type of attitude continues even after the phase of falling in love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to survive and thrive from emotional abuse, set boundaries and control your relationship Emotional abuse is a form of violence that does not necessarily involve physical harm, but can be similarly debilitating. This abuse works by chipping away at one's self-esteem slowly, and most of the time victims do not know that they are going through it. However, statistics state that nearly 60% of young women in the US underwent emotional abuse in a romantic relationship. 24% of women who went through this experience never told anyone that they were dealing with abuse. However, an overwhelming 62% told that they are able to leave an abusive relationship because someone educated them and helped them to leave their abusive domestic partnership. You are undergoing emotional abuse if a person behaves in a certain pattern that would make you feel fear, obligation, or guilt. The combination of these negative emotions can be dangerous to one's mental health and they leave long-lasting effects. Most of the time, perpetrators inflict harm through aggressiveness, denying your needs, and minimizing the harm that they have done. It is also very important to take note that most emotionally abusive relationships lead to physical abuse. That is why it is very important to understand what this problem is all about before it escalates. This book will be devoted to providing a very detailed look at how to acquire a life free from emotional abuse mindset as well as an introductory and advanced education on how to successfully recover from it. READ ON This Emotional Abuse book covers: Effects of Emotional Abuse Diminished Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem Anxiety, Depression, and Despair Identifying Abuse The Signs of an Abuser Emotional Abuse Patterns Reasons for an Abuser in Your Life The Recovery What to Expect The Recovery Toolbox How to Seek Help

Most narcissists are perpetually surprised when told their behavior is inapposite. Narcissists live by extreme rules an insurmountable pressure. Narcissists have an unusual relationship to shame if they feel ashamed it is unusual to them so they must place blame or the shame on someone else.
