Narcissistic Abuse and Codependency: The Complete Recovery Guide to Spot, End, and Get Over Narcissistic and Codependent Relationships. How to Escape from The Big Trap of The Covert Narcissist. Paperback – November 24, 2020

Super helpful to understand more deeply narcissistic abuse and codependency. I have highlighted so much of this book. I have been in Alanon and therapy for many years, have read many self help and spiritual books. This is an excellent book that I will be re-reading regularly!A few of my favorite quotes..."They want to stay sick so they can be cared for on a continual basis. Trying to fix them is ignoring the fundamental truth that they want to remain broken." p 176"Low self esteem causes you to not stand up for yourself; to not speak up when you don't agree; to sweep things under the rug in order to maintain peace; to put other people's needs above your own even at your own expense." p 171"When you are interacting with a man, especially in the earlier stages... notice whether he tends to speak with you or at you and look out for a tendency to keep unreasonably asking or expecting things from you." p 165"The goal of those who gaslight is to make the other person feel worthless like their own thoughts and reality do not matter." p 112

I’m about halfway through, and i love it. This book has some great information B and it helps you understand a lot. Its gut Wrenching. It’s enlightening and its accurate.There are quite a few spelling or grammar errors throughout the book that make you do a retake.This book acknowledges Narcissists as both make abs female, however when referring to the Narcissists it’s more so talking about men. You’ll have to remember the original point that it’s not just men but women too.There’s a section of the book that speaks to revenge against your narcissist you have to take it with a grain of salt. I don’t necessarily agree with that part of the work.There’s a Lotta good information in here to take with you and somethings that you can leave if they don’t apply to you.

I purchased this book 7/21, days after I gave the Narcissist the ring back. I am now reading it for the second time. The first time it was all about him, I blew past the Codependency part. This time, it's about me, finding peace and doing the work. I CAN NOT say enough about this book. Kind, direct, honest and easy to relate too. You can tell when you look at my copy, by all of the notes, highlighting and folded pages. God sent me this book and the most amazing counselor at exactly the right time! 😊

I found this detailed book to be very helpful. It was not only a book defining the types of people who suffer with these things but also dealt with victims and how to find help. I would highly n recommend this book!

This book appears to be written by someone other than the stated author. There is some flowery language and odd phrasing (along with a plethora of misspellings, malapropisms, and grammatical weirdness) that made me feel like I was listening to the stream of consciousness writings of someone in a far off land, not a suburban psychologist.However, it is literally STUFFED with words of wisdom. It helped me understand so much about dealing with the narcissist in my life.Get the book, and wonder who the heck wrote it - that's what I did!

One of the best dang books I've ever read. So helpful and true . Has to be the most number one book about narcissist out there. Dont Google anything , dont buy no other books but this one.

Bad experiences will always come, so in those moments it is necessary to be prepared with enough to overcome and advance as soon as possible, leaving no room for anxiety or depression, and this book is your weapon to overcome. I must thank life because I was able to buy this book, which has offered me undeserved help, I have been able to overcome that toxic relationship which hurt me so much, and I am sure that if I could, you could too. Cheer up.

This book is very complete, it gives advice on what to do to get out of a relationship with a narcissistic person, how to identify them and what are the characteristics of this type of people, how they behave and what they think.
