Publisher's Summary

Why can't I be normal and happy like everyone else? Why do I always have problems? Why do I constantly feel as though I am not good enough? Why don't I love myself? Will I ever be loved?

Do these questions sound familiar?

A child who is abused by her parent will try to reduce the effects of the abuse on them, emotionally and psychologically, by scaling the abuse down. You might even find yourself trying to believe that you are not abused and that something happened which caused your mother to react abusively.

However, because many forms of narcissistic abuse, such as manipulation, slander, withholding, and emotional blackmail are not often discussed, people don’t think of these actions as abuse. Therefore, many children of narcissistic mothers don’t even realize that they are abused.

According to a recent study published on the American Journal of Psychiatry, someone with one or more indicators of childhood maltreatment had a chance of developing recurrent depression in later life around 2.27 times higher than that of people who had no history of maltreatment. Evidence suggests that childhood maltreatment may negatively affect not only the lifetime risk of depression but also clinically relevant measures of depression such as course of illness and treatment outcome.

Don’t you think it’s time to stop feeling guilty and inadequate?

Don’t you think you are mature enough to recognize how your narcissistic mother is still affecting your life, get her out of your head, and become who you really are?

I think, then, this book might help. I know you don’t need another book filled in with useless information. You just want to heal.

Here’s just a tiny fraction of what you’ll discover:

  • Ten signs of a narcissistic mother
  • Eleven signs of narcissistic abuse
  • Manipulative tactics
  • The effect on being raised as a daughter of a narcissistic mother
  • Ways how your narcissistic mother affects your mindset
  • Steps to allow your feelings to grow and accept them
  • Methods to learn the art of self-discipline
  • Self-compassion exercises
  • Ways to heal through mindful acts and thoughts
  • Ways to heal your subconscious mind 
  • Six strategies to overcome anxiety
  • Ways to build the life you want, become the person you want to be

Your life is worth living, and you are an amazing person with great talents. Take the step to get yourself the help you need and deserve, so you can learn to understand narcissistic abuse, understand that you are a victim, and find ways to cope and overcome the abuse, so you can reach your full potential and live the best life possible.

I have to be honest: This won’t be easy, but I have been there and I have done that. That’s why I authored this book to help you get unstuck and transform your life forever. The decision is yours.

Validation plus

I’m not dreaming and you have assisted me to reevaluate my position in amongst a dysfunctional family and being shunned by my narcissistic mother. Now that she is old and frail I’m left with the care responsibility as the rest of the family have run away.

I resent the unfair comparison that other family members use to justify their lack of support.

I’m moving forward with an approach that will allow me to move forward without a guilty conscience after she is gone. I evaluate myself everyday. Your book has been confronting and helpful at the same time and Thankyou.

Bec

Confronting and confirming. Easy to listen to and relate to. Clearly definitive of Narcissistic abuse and personality disorder. It sat in my wish list for a while but I am glad to have read this book. It helps me understand myself and my childhood, my experiences as a child and effects on me as an adult, my mother and what I can do to help myself and accept things the way they were are are without feeling blame.

A very useful tool for self-help

Reinforced the self development I've already done!
A good reminder of various coping techniques
Interesting to see what types of behaviour traits the narcissistic mother can present with

New Beginnings

I have struggled with myself emotionally throughout my life wondering why i was so unlovable, why my mother thinks so badly of me and why does she treat me this way. I also wondered why I couldn't leave someone that was so destructive within my life. Another frustrating part i have faced is relationships, why i find them hard and feel i need to keep a guard up, easily running away when i get anxious.
This audio book has answered all of this and to be honest has been hard to finish in one go because it is very confronting. I am now currently listening to it for the second time to write thought, memories as they present to me as i listen to go through them with my psychologist (new thing for me).
This book i would highly recommend to anyone in this same situation to find answers and to start letting go of baggage that is not yours.
I can't thank the Author enough for this information, key to my future and new beginnings to self growth. x

Less meditation, more healing

The book was very helpful, especially the types of narcissism and how to identify categories of abuse. However I found the healing chapter was quite general and too much emphasis on meditation techniques. Chapter titles would also be helpful for ease of navigation.
