Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Born in the cauldron of personal experience of suffering and healing and honed through years of professional experience, this book will help anyone understand the attractors of love and consequent suffering. I recommend it to couples who are mystified by the depth and repitition of their pain and joy and to therapists whose destiny is to help them." ~ Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., co-author with Helen LaKelly Hunt of Making Marriage Simple: Transform the Relationship you Have Into the Relationship you Want Since the dawn of civilization, men and women have been magnetically and irresistibly drawn together into romantic relationships, not so much by what they see, feel and think, but more by invisible forces. When individuals with healthy emotional backgrounds meet, the irresistible “love force” creates a sustainable, reciprocal and stable relationship. Codependents and emotional manipulators are similarly enveloped in a seductive dreamlike state; however, it will later unfold into a painful “seesaw” of love, pain, hope and disappointment. The soul mate of the codependent’s dreams will become the emotional manipulator of their nightmares. Readers of the Human Magnet Syndrome will better understand why they, despite their dreams for true love, find themselves hopelessly and painfully in love with partners who hurt them. This book will guide and inspire both the layman and the professional.

Book You Can Thrive After Narcissistic Abuse

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.

Dealing with a narcissist or manipulative person is like riding a rollercoaster that just never stops. It also feels like running on a hamster wheel where even after trying all manner of threats and having lengthy conversations after that, the self-centeredness and manipulation never stops. Most narcissists and people with other manipulation disorders never see anything wrong with the way they do things, probably because their self-centeredness and excessive need for admiration, even at the expense of the wellness of other people, comes so naturally for them. They don't know any other way of doing things. However, this does not mean that you just agree with everything they do and say even if you are being abused.

How do you unchain yourself from the claws of a narcissistic abuser and manipulator? How do you spot narcissistic and manipulative tendencies? How do you neutralize narcissistic and manipulative tendencies before they get through to you?

Book excerpt: This book introduces the importance of echoism as a clinical entity and a theoretical concept. In Ovid's version of the myth of Echo and Narcissus, the character Echo receives equal attention to her counterpart, Narcissus, yet she has been completely marginalised in the pervasive literatures on narcissism. The author draws upon her work with patients who have experienced relationships with narcissistic partners or parents, and have developed a particular configuration of object relations and ways of relating for which she uses the term echoism. She uses psychoanalytic theory and existential philosophical ideas to underpin her formulations and inform her clinical thinking. Donnna Savery explores the question 'Am I an Echoist?' and introduces the concept of Echoism in the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEyjolXL7lA

Book Betrayal Bond  Revised

Book excerpt: Some really great books just keep getting better! For seventeen years The Betrayal Bond has been the primary source for therapists and patients wrestling the effects of emotional pain and harm caused by exploitation from someone they trusted. Divorce, litigation, incest and child abuse, domestic violence, kidnapping, professional exploitation and religious abuse are all areas of trauma bonding. These are situations and relationships of incredible intensity or importance lend themselves more easily to an exploitation of trust or power. In The Betrayal Bond, Dr. Carnes presents an in-depth study of these relationships; why they form, who is most susceptible, and how they become so powerful. Dr. Carnes also gives a clear explanation of the bond that compels people to tolerate the intolerable, and for the first time, maps out the brain connection that makes being with hurtful people comparable to 'a drug of choice.' Most importantly, Carnes provides practical steps to identify compulsive attachment patterns and ultimately to change or end them for good. This new edition includes: New science for understanding how our brains can make a prison of bad relationships New assessments and insights based on 50,000 research participants A new section utilizing the latest findings in attachment research and narrative therapy to concretely rewrite and rescript bad experiences A redefinition of the factors contributing to addictive relationships

Book Narcissist Abuse Recovery

Download or read book Narcissist Abuse Recovery written by Hope Utaram and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-09 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to discover how to safely escape from toxic parents and people? A guide to how to take back your life? If yes, then keep reading... The primary objective for the narcissist is power. This isn't accidental, the abuse is intentional, and the goal is domination. Remember, they will do what they need to do to feel superior to others, especially those with whom they have some relationship, in order to further shield their own feelings of inferiority. According to Dr. Greenberg, narcissistic relationships tend to follow a three-stage pattern of abuse, beginning with what she calls "Chasing the Unicorn." In this stage, the narcissist sees the object of his love as the perfect mate and will do anything to have them. This could also be called "love bombing," as it is similar to the tactic used by some cults to draw in new members. The narcissist will often offer suggestions and ideas for things they'd like to see changed, like hair, clothing, exercise, personal habits, job, or any number of other things. The abuse aspect of this stage usually begins when the narcissist starts hearing the word, "no." Now he's disappointed (remember all those other disappointing relationships?), and with a narcissist that can be a very difficult thing because they don't react to disappointment the way others do. Normal disappointment tends to be marked by an acceptance that the other person either doesn't want to make the change or cannot make the change. Either way, we recognize that the other person has a right to be themselves and we can love and accept them as they are or not... That's not the way the narcissist sees it, which brings us to the third stage: "Devaluation." Narcissists take the sort of disappointment that the rest of us would get over quite personally. They take the refusal as an insult, a criticism that they cannot tolerate rather than an assertion of the other party's right to be who they are. This leads to anger, fights, and emotional abuse as the narcissist begins to devalue the other person in various ways. By now, friendly suggestions have turned to blunt criticism, but as this devaluation process progresses, that blunt criticism becomes increasingly insulting and demeaning. Even worse, what had once been said behind closed doors goes public, usually in front of family and friends. This pattern of growing hostility and verbal abuse continues to grow until it becomes the primary way the narcissist interacts with their partner. Cruelty becomes the norm, fighting escalates, and physical abuse becomes a real possibility. It is important to recognize that it takes two people willing to engage in this behavior, so you don't have to participate anymore. Anyone can suffer from narcissistic abuse syndrome. Women, men, adults, children, young, or old, it doesn't matter. Nor does it matter how smart you are, how "grounded" you think you are, or how well you think you can "read" people. Why? Because narcissists are masters of deceit and manipulation, anyone can be made a victim and suffer abuse at their hands. Those that do are likely to develop some level of Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome.
