Truths about relationships with narcissists and anti-social personalities in relationships.

Another winner by Shahida Arabi! So helpful! Over the past four years I have dug in deep on the topic. I have learned so much from the best experts, including Shahida. This book helped me uncover more layers of abuse in a previous relationship that I didn’t recognize as abuse. One specifically is that triangulation can be intentional to cause jealousy. I never thought of it that way, but it totally makes sense to me now.

This book is GOLD!

GOLD for breaking trauma bonds with Narcissists, Sociopaths & Psychopaths. The author empowers readers with evidence-based strategies to rewire the brain & detach from Pathological Love Relationships (PLR’s). The optional worksheets help reinforce positive habits and customize exit strategies. Thank you for the amazing work!

This book will emotionally punch you into reality

There aren’t a lot of books that cover this specific dynamic and as a DA survivor of a psychopath and the daughter of a covert narcissist it paints such a realistic, validating, albeit hard to swallow image of the life that I’ve experienced. There are some hard truths I am having to come to about the life I’ve lived but it genuinely is helping me remove my cognitive dissonance and see things for what they were. Im very impressed with the level of research and the depth of perspective that has been implemented into this book. Something I know I’ve struggled with and from what I’m seeing in this book is that so many others have also struggled with is understanding how I can hold such diametric views of someone and still convince myself of my connection to them when I knew I needed to escape. It does help me understand what I deserve but only because I am holding such a deep understanding of how dangerous it was to leave.. and that helps a lot. This book is definitely worth the read even after surviving a decade later. I recommend this if you are safe and able to consume this content.
