Taking Back Your Peace

This audiobook spoke to me in a very real way. As a mom and someone who gives a lot, I saw how easy it is to get pulled into toxic patterns without even noticing. The steps were clear and simple, and it helped me understand that I am not the problem.

It also reminded me how important it is to set boundaries, especially when you're caring for others every day. I liked the calm tone and helpful tips. If you’ve ever felt confused or drained in a relationship, this book makes you feel seen, and gives you a way out.

Finally Reclaiming My Emotional Power

I’ve always been empathetic, but after a few painful relationships with self-centered partners, I felt drained, confused, and small. The Empath and the Narcissist by Nancy McCartney hit me right in the heart. It didn’t sugarcoat anything;, it helped me spot gaslighting, understand manipulation, and most importantly, gave me tools to break free and rebuild my confidence

A compassionate and empowering book

I have had two narcissistic relationships in the past, and after therapy and some healing time, I’ve decided to move onto another relationship. This book was great for me to help act as a reminder for the tendencies that I can fall into and also warning signs that I need to put up boundaries with a new relationship

The author does an incredible job breaking down traits and behaviors of narcissists in way in a way that makes it clear and not overwhelming. This is really helpful for me because it helps connect the dots that I hadn’t been able to articulate myself.

What really stood out to me was how much care was given for the empath‘s experience I found comfort and validations in chapters like when compassion becomes a cage and empowerment through knowledge this isn’t just about identifying abuse it’s about recovering from it setting boundaries and learning to trust yourself again

If you’ve been in a narcissistic relationship, this audiobook is a lifeline, gentle and powerful and genuinely healing

The author explains things clearly and doesn’t make it too clinical. I liked how practical it was, there are steps and insights you can use right away. It also gave me clarity and helped me start setting better boundaries.
