Most people don’t realize it, but emotional fear and anxiety can be subdued and brought to its knees. You can tap into your creative mind and use it as a tool to dispel your CPTSD and the associated trauma and brain atrophy that occurs after trauma.

Many people have heard of trauma and PTSD. But when we think of PTSD, many of us think of nightmares and flashbacks that are related to one traumatic incident or event that has been experienced by the sufferer. There is another form of PTSD that's related to being exposed to repetitive trauma. It is called Complex PTSD, coined by a woman named Judith Herman.

Many of us experience anxiety from time to time. Anxiety is a healthy way for our bodies to prepare for and anticipate upcoming events and situations where we need to take action. It prompts us to think, to plan and to initiate growth and change in our lives. Anxiety helps us to know what is right and wrong, and it lets us know when we have taken the wrong path in our life.

You didn't know your world would change. But it did. Take a walk with us as we journey into an illness most don't know about until they are affected by it.

Many of us are battling depression, anxiety, mental illness, or personality disorders. We feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed.

One of the first steps in fixing your life and your anxiety is to learn how to regulate your emotions. Our emotions cause us to feel out of control sometimes.

This audiobook will seek to define cognitive dissonance as it relates to narcissists, toxic people, psychopaths, and other mentally ill or personality-disordered individuals. It will also define the cognitive dissonance that causes victims to stay with their narcissistic spouse or partner. The purpose of toxic and narcissistic people is seemingly to harm and take advantage of others. We look at them as being the "evil" side of humanity, but we often don't realize why they chose the "dark" side.

It is becoming increasingly more and more common to enter into divorce or custody proceedings with a narcissistic partner. Narcissism is caused by DRD4 long gene polymorphism (source: NCBI) as well as many other disorders being caused by an explosion of this gene. The population of narcissists have exploded since 2015 when we began researching and writing our narcissism library of books.

If you are here, chances are good that you have been a victim of the "dark triad" strategies which are employed by people with seemingly "bad" or "evil" personalities or behaviors. There are those who are born with "bad" or "evil" or "anti-social" personalities. There are those who are born with pro-social and empathetic personalities. Then, there are those who use "dark triad" strategies as a means of gaining immense personal power, financial gain, and sexual prowess.

If you have been around a narcissist for any length of time, odds are good that you are suffering from narcissistic abuse syndrome. The label doesn’t matter so much. The cause of your symptoms matters most. The narcissist is a toxic entity. Most people don’t realize it, but once you invite a narcissist in, the narcissist’s hive descends down on you. They pull you back into their nest of angry hornets, and you suffer the stings over and over from them...until you extract yourself from the hive. Some people are never able to get out alive.

Many women go out into the dating world with misinformation. We listen to what our families' values are, we compare our fathers to other men, and then we find men who fit the ideal that we all have in our heads of the perfect man. We have grown up with our fathers as the images of perfect husbands in our minds, even if our fathers were far from perfect husbands.

Your mate has you walking on eggshells. It seems that no matter what you do, it isn't right. You are at your wits' end. These type of mates can make you feel crazy, frustrated, and chaotic.

Many of my readers and listeners write to me, and they often want to know how to improve or fix a relationship between a narcissistic personality disordered (NPD) man and a borderline personality disordered (BPD) woman. This dynamic duo tends to get together a lot more than people seem to realize. This duo is one of the most difficult relationships to maintain but can also be one of the most rewarding love connections realized by both sides of the duo.

The narcissist is a force to be reckoned with. He has a nihilistic view of the world. He views his life as pointless. He has no religion, and most narcissists will actively consider themselves as being agnostic or atheistic. He has no guided purpose in his life. He is bored and listless. The only thing that gives a narcissist real pleasure is seeing other people in emotional pain, confusion, and suffering at his hands.

People never walk into a relationship assuming that they will be abused physically, emotionally, or mentally. The abuse also never starts immediately into the relationship at full force, as you would expect it to. Abusers often start out very subtly in a relationship with the different types of control, blame, and manipulation. They don't tell their partners that they intend to control them or ruin their lives in many ways.

There is clearly an epidemic of narcissism - a contagion of sorts - that is occurring across the globe. Narcissism is generally handed down from one generation to the next. It is said that nearly one in four people has narcissistic tendencies. It is likely that the number of narcissists will only continue to increase. Many people wonder why or how the narcissist seems to have two distinct personalities.

The concepts can be also used and considered in those who have personality disorders such as OCPD. It seeks to bridge the gap between the behaviors that are different between neurotypicals and those on the spectrums. It seeks to draw out the patterns and to define the reasons that both sides struggle to understand and meet each other's needs.

Many listeners email me each day. They typically have problems with the men in their lives. The truth that most of them don't realize is that their emotionally unavailable man or narcissistic man has an undiagnosed syndrome, complex, or disorder. Men often don't seek diagnoses for these issues that have been an ingrained part of their personality since they were born. They want acceptance and a sense of belonging from their partners, and they are often as unable to get these things from his partner as she is unable to get emotional validation from him.

Many people have OCPD partners, parents, friends, bosses, or other loved ones in their lives. They struggle with the OCPD people's rigidity, negativism, and critical nature. The OCPD people struggle to meet the expectations of others, shackled by their own perfectionism. The OCPD person is a slave to the little voice inside his or her head that was intended to guide positive behaviors long ago. This little voice is now stopping the OCPD person from realizing any type of freedom or joy in life.
