Narrado por: Karyl McBride

Author of the best seller Will I Ever Be Good Enough? Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers, Dr. Karyl McBride draws on her expertise in treating children and partners damaged by narcissists in this practical new guide to divorce and its aftermath.

With more than three decades of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, Dr. McBride guides you through the emotional fallout and challenges of being married to and divorcing a narcissist. The court system assumes that both parties in most high-conflict divorces are at fault, but a narcissist can wreak havoc in the divorce process. Dr. McBride shows how to navigate this kind of divorce and how you and your children can heal afterward.

Written for those considering or already going through divorce as well as the professionals working with them, Will I Ever Be Free of You? has three parts: "Recognizing the Problem", "Breaking Free", and "Healing from the Debilitating Impact of Narcissistic Relationships". You begin by learning exactly what narcissism is, how to identify it, and how it affects relationships, then how to begin and carry on through a divorce and make the best decisions for you and your children. Dr. McBride lays out a road map of trauma recovery for the whole family, offering a step-by-step program for recognizing and healing from the particular emotional damage that narcissism causes.

This guide offers new therapeutic strategies and practical guidance for protecting yourself and your children through this difficult time.

Review

Pretty good didn’t connect fully to my situation but very informative and interesting. In all need more clarity

Not for me

It was educational and gave me insight as to if I am ever a parent and dealing with a narc father of the child but I have no children so I learned alot about how to protect a child in that situation but wasn't something I'm dealing with and the purpose to listen, for me, was for person help. Still educational, just more for people with children who have to deal with a narc.

Great examples

Easy to follow and great examples! I enjoyed the flow of this book! Good healing tools.

Highly recommend!

I’ve heard over 100hrs of audiobooks, videos and podcasts about this topic and still found this book extremely helpful. She covers the themes in such a way, that even when you are familiar with the topic, you get a lot out of it. She also provides an adequate amount and range of examples. I found myself pausing it to take notes, so if you have the opportunity to buy the physical book as well I’d recommend it. Moreover, her voice and ways of saying things are so soothing and kind that I felt calm and hopeful, not like some books that overwhelm you or make you anxious. I think she also does a great job at being gender-neutral and anyone could relate. I deeply thank you Ms. McBride for taking the time to write this book!

Good Information

Wish it had more examples of how to deal with difficult exes. Still, good as a spring board.
