If Only I'd Known!

How to Outsmart Narcissists, Set Guilt-Free Boundaries, and Create Unshakeable Self-Worth

De: Chelsey Brooke Cole

Narrado por: Chelsey Brooke Cole

This therapist-written and recommended 3-part audiobook will help you understand the inner workings of a narcissist, heal from narcissistic abuse, and experience sustainable post-traumatic growth.

In relationships, have you ever found yourself:

• Feeling like something is "off," but not being able to explain why?

• Leaving conversations feeling more confused than when you started them?

• Constantly ruminating on how to "make sense" of what you feel and what's happening?

• Feeling "not enough" no matter how hard you try?

Narcissistic abuse creates a tidal wave of confusion, hypervigilance, and overthinking. You have trouble thinking clearly, remembering things, or taking in new information.

And because these changes are happening to you, you begin to wonder:

What's wrong with me?

Why can't I make this relationship work?

Am I fundamentally broken?

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.

You think there's something wrong with you.

You think you need to change or get better.

You think no one else understands.

Narcissistic abuse is a multilayered attack on your sense of self—a dismantling of who you are and what you believe you're worth.

This audiobook covers unique information related to narcissistic abuse, including:

• How different narcissistic types love bomb

• Cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological warning signs that you're being abused

• How and why narcissistic trauma bonds form and the process to untangle yourself from these binding relationships

• How to set boundaries even if you're highly empathic

• The most common reasons you stay stuck and how to get "unstuck"

If you've ever wondered:

• How did I get into this relationship?

• I'm such a people pleaser—how can I set better boundaries?

• What if healing isn't possible for me?

• I feel so lost and broken—where do I even start?

This audiobook is for you!

This book is amazing.

It was an amazing experience to listen to this audio book. The narrative is so close to the audience, that made me have a perfect understanding all the way from the beginning to the end. I found a profound connection with the author that I am seriously considering on sharing my story. Before I listened this audio book, it was hard to find a good resource of support for people like me. A man who was a victim of narcissistic abuse is not a common thing. All the programs out there are made for female victims. I recommend this book 1000%.

Fantastic Book!

What a fantastic book. It felt so good to be affirmed and put an explanation to the years of emotional and psychological abuse that I endured. I highly recommend!

mind blown

we have learned more about the Pilgrims in life than we do about narcissists and narcissists have had a massive impact on my life whereas pilgrims have not. this book should be required reading for everyone on the planet. for me it has been the instruction manual to my life. finally it all makes sense. read this and change your life.

I hung on every word!

This book was so helpful and healing. I’m so grateful for such impactful dissection of the life I’ve known for such a long time. It enabled me to understand what happened, how I played into it, and to accept and honor myself as the worthy human I am. Thank you, Chelsea!

So very helpful!

Because it was so positive and helpful. Author not only explained very thoroughly about how to spot a narcissist, she gave clear, down to earth examples. But she didn’t leave us hanging with hopelessness: She explained how sensitive personalities tend to respond and how narcissists control them. Provided a manual of steps to take toward growth. I’m going to listen again!

Honest help in an understanding way

Very point on in my life. I appreciate the facts and feelings given in this book dealing with this terrible subject.

One of Those Life Toolkit Books

Loved the content and the author’s tone when approaching the topics. It’s a book everyone needs to read. It’s not a book to binge, though! I had to pause and process a lot of what I was reading / hearing. I’m recommending it to my clients, too.
