Publisher's summary

Narcissistic abuse is a form of abuse that ensures victims are left emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and devoid of any self-worth or self-esteem. I was a victim of a malignant narcissist for seven years of my life, and I know just how crushing it is to live such an abusive and suppressed life. The helplessness and detachment from reality that comes with narcissistic abuse are enough to keep you in the tight grip of the abuser for as long as they choose.

However, I eventually found the courage to leave my abuser, but it didn’t end there. As you may know, ending a relationship with a narcissist isn’t that easy - even if it was the narc who did the breaking up, they don't just "let you go" - they try to make sure you’ll go through hell before you get one over on them.

In this audiobook, I want to offer you some guidance on this rarely-talked about aspect of an abusive relationship: how to deal with a narcissist when they’re your ex.

The chapter list is as follows:

  • Why you shouldn’t go back and why you need to move on
  • Why you need to go "no contact" and ways you can do this
  • How to stop missing your abuser
  • Understanding and dealing with "hoovering’" after a break-up
  • Narcissistic stalking
  • How to deal with "flying monkeys"
  • Survivor stories from two former narcissistic abuse victims

Throughout the audiobook, I also offer some of my own story too, in the hopes that this offers you a sense of familiarity. You’ll likely find that thing things I went through are very similar to your own experiences, and the purpose of this audiobook is to get you to the point where I’m currently at: healed and thriving.

Empowering

I felt like this was wrote about me and the relationship I’m trying to escape.....zero contact is what I’m trying to get through right now as I am staying at hotels trying to make sure he doesn’t come to my house and lure me back in....every time I think I want to hear from him I just push play and listen some more.

This hit home.

About 99% of this hit home to me. I have recently left a toxic relationship for the I don’t know how many times. And his smart campaigns were getting to me. He has tried to use my friends and family to his benefit. However, the ones I still allow to let in my life have told him where he could go. He is woven through my family and his daughter is NO HELP. But he and I share a child. I hope she doesn’t grow up to be with a man like her father.
Thank you thank you thank you for writing this book. Thank you.

Valuable

It’s been a year since I escaped my ex. We haven’t been divorced yet, because using our children as pawns is his way of controlling me. However, a year ago I was able to get a restraining order. As scary and almost unhelpful I thought it was going to be, it’s been priceless. The same as the “no contact” rule described in this book. This audio just helped solidify all the work I’ve done. I hope anyone going through this heeds the advice of this book.

Wish I read this instead of counseling

Listening to this one book shed more light than any friend or family or counselor ever has. If I would had this book 5 years ago my life would not be where it is today and I would be so much more ahead and would not have been staying in a toxic relationship and I would’ve known what a narcissist is and exactly everything they said is exactly everything my narcissist was doing to me.
It made me want to say do you know my narcissist!!??? Listening over and over to this is what really set me free and made me stand my ground’s to get away!!

Thank you.

This book is amazing. I have been on this type of healing journey from my narcissistic ex husband for two years and I still struggle. This has helped me know exactly what he’s trying to do and to not “take the bait” it has given me the strength to “not take the bait” thank you so much.
