Publisher's summary
Change your present and seize your exceptional future by escaping your painful trauma bond, healing, and thriving!
At age twenty-two, Nadine married Jordan Belfort, the nefarious stockbroker portrayed in the Hollywood blockbuster The Wolf of Wall Street. Their marriage began as a fairy tale, but once they were bonded, Jordan’s “mask” began to slip, and acts of infidelity, narcissistic abuse, insatiable greed, and uncontrollable drug addiction became Nadine’s nightmare.
The horrific relationship gave Nadine the inspiration to become a psychotherapist specializing in narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, and complex PTSD. Her private practice quickly flooded with women recounting an all-too-familiar story of abuse with a pathological partner. Perhaps this scenario resonates with you.
In Run Like Hell, Nadine brings you her personal experience and years of expertise to explain
• the mental health of the narcissistic pathological lover (PL),
• the traits of women who are the perfect “victims” of these PLs,
• how you can leave a trauma bond safely, and
• how you can heal.
Nadine also shows how you and other women can be surthrivers of these trauma bonds and go on to have healthy, positive relationships and lives, armed with knowledge and awareness. So Run Like Hell from damaging trauma bonds and live with awareness, practice self-love and care, and thrive, regardless of your past.

Story
It’s not always easy to tell when you’re dealing with a narcissist. One day they draw you in with their confidence and charisma, the next they gaslight you, wreck your self-confidence, and leave you wondering, What could I have done differently? As Dr. Ramani Durvasula reveals in It's Not You, the answer is: absolutely nothing. Just as a tiger can’t change its stripes, a narcissist won’t stop manipulating and invalidating you. To heal in the aftermath of their abuse and protect yourself from future harm, you first have to accept that you are not to blame.

You picked up this book because your breakup has been reduced to something that you feel you must “win” to emotionally survive and move on. This reduction can only take place if you were involved with a toxic person. Toxic people are selfish, empathetically bankrupt, and have a limited relationship with reality. Anyone who feels validated by exploiting your hunger for theirs is toxic - to your peace, your life, and your mental health.

And that's exactly how narcissistic abuse works—it happens so subtly that you believe the insecurities you're experiencing are "you" instead of "what's happening" to you. This audiobook covers unique information related to narcissistic abuse.

Although highly controversial, Hervey Cleckley's Mask of Sanity provides one of the most influential clinical descriptions of psychopathy in the 20th century. At the crux of his argument, Cleckley claims that many psychopathic personalities go undiagnosed because they maintain a social mask that conceals their mental disorder and enables them to blend in with society. Furthermore, many of these affected individuals appear to function normally in accordance with standard psychiatric criteria.

One day they draw you in with their confidence and charisma, the next they gaslight you, wreck your self-confidence, and leave you wondering, What could I have done differently? As Dr. Ramani Durvasula reveals in It's Not You, the answer is: absolutely nothing. Just as a tiger can’t change its stripes, a narcissist won’t stop manipulating and invalidating you. To heal in the aftermath of their abuse and protect yourself from future harm, you first have to accept that you are not to blame.

Bullies exist everywhere, and all bullies act in the same highly predictable patterns, regardless of their demographics and situation. By focusing on the ten hidden powers bullies employ—from their unrestrained nature and bully story to manipulating emotions and playing the victim—Bill Eddy unpacks the way bullies rely on primitive emotions and nonverbal behavior. He helps listeners spot these behaviors and offers practical actions before they become immobilized by helplessness, blame, and shame.

I really enjoyed this book it’s so relatable and easy to understand! It was a bit triggering because it was describing exactly what I had been through but those were moments that also woke me up and helped me think differently about my current situation! I really hope and this book is going to be the one that helps me get through this very difficult time in my life

Finally, someone who actually relates!
Dr. Nadine basically just read the past 10 years of my life. It is incredibly empowering and affirming to hear someone speak of their experience, from the perspective of survivor. She totally empathizes with other trauma bond relationship survivors, and helps dispel the myths surrounding blame, shame and weakness. It is not our fault, we are not to blame, we have nothing to be ashamed of and we are not weak. I find I need to understand the ‘why’ and make sense of it all before I can move through things, sometimes. You gave this to me, Dr. Nae! I am so very grateful!!!

Essential read!!
This is a powerful book which anyone should read when trying to understand a trauma-bonded relationship - how to heal, leave, learn, trust, and love again. It rips apart the devastating victim blaming that happens as a result of these abusive relationships, and it uses an enlightening combination of research as well as real-life examples. After reading you walk away feeling informed and empowered!
Also, Dr. Nadine Macaluso’s writing style is compassionate, educational, and very enjoyable to digest and read. It’s a mountain of information that feels like a warm embrace rather than a statistical overwhelm. A must read and listen!!

Thank you for this!
Unfortunately, I needed this. I’m already separated from my narcissistic ex husband/abuser but the trauma bond is very strong. I am reading and listening to many books to gain understanding, attempt to heal from what I’ve been through and am currently experiencing, and also to remind myself of the reality of the situation instead of what I wish it was. I have to remember that he won’t change and that the mask is only a mask he’s showing in order to attempt to Hoover me. This book was very helpful and validating. My guess is that if you’re here and considering reading this for your own healing or for someone you love, then you obviously need this and should definitely read it.
