Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse

Book excerpt: Have you ever felt that you can never do anything right? When things go wrong, is it always your fault? Do you ever find yourself being met with a wall of silence and you have no idea why? If so, you need answers. You could be the target of a toxic person or a narcissist. Unless one has been subjected to abuse from these individuals, it is difficult to understand or comprehend the trauma and damage these people cause. There are no bruises or visible scars, but the pain goes much deeper than the eye can see or most hearts can fathom. Narcissistic and emotional abuse is extremely destructive and long lasting, and sadly, may leave scars that last a lifetime. Many targets of abuse will blame themselves believing that they are at fault. Learning about narcissism and emotional abuse will show you that you are not responsible for another person's despicable behaviour. The only thing that you can take responsibility for is the way you react to their behaviour. This book will explain the behaviour of the narcissistic spouse or partner, narcissists within the family or the workplace, friendship with a narcissistic personality and recovery from narcissistic abuse. This knowledge should help your understanding of this disorder and assist in the recovery process.
