Whatever the reason you have for staying in a narcissistic relationship, this book will help you understand how to manage your interactions with that toxic person for the best outcome. It will present strategies for how you can make a relationship with a narcissist or other toxic person work.
I married a narcissist, and I made the decision to leave him behind, but that was the best choice for me. I know exactly how abusive a narcissist's behavior can become. My experience with a toxic spouse is what prompted me to get a degree in psychology and write several books about my experience with narcissism and recovering from narcissistic abuse.
I soon realized, however, that many people can't leave their toxic spouses or get away from their narcissistic boss. Maybe your narcissist is one of your children, and you simply don't want to break off all contact with them. In that case, you'll need to know how to protect yourself from their gaslighting, narcissistic rage, and other forms of emotional abuse. You have to learn to live with them without developing narcissistic victim syndrome.
Specifically, you'll learn about the following topics:
- How to accept that they will never change while understanding that their behavior is not your fault;
- How to use humor to redirect their bad behavior and narcissistic rage;
- How to mirror them so they will feel recognized and understood;
- How to set strong boundaries to stop their manipulations;
- How to avoid being codependent, learn to live your life, and fulfill your dreams, in spite of their mental condition.
