Publisher description
Does your life feel like it's out of control? Codependency is one of those words that sound more harmless than it is. On the face of it, it sounds normal and healthy to be mutually "dependent" with other people, doesn't it? These days, narcissistic personality disorder seems to be a relevant topic of discussion in almost every walk of life. Narcissism impacts family and friendship dynamics; it shows up frequently in our love lives. Even so, the way most of us understand the disorder is a bit short-sighted, like mistaking an exaggerated caricature for the real thing. We recognize traits like vanity, self-absorption, and lack of consideration for others, and can easily condemn them, pity them, perhaps even laugh them off--but without scratching the surface and taking a deeper look at the root motivations of a narcissist, we may fail to realize the true dangers of narcissistic abuse, or to identify the abusive behaviors as such, which cause serious issues for the narcissist and their relationships with other people. You work hard to keep relationships that are too demanding of you emotionally, mentally, and even physically -the relationships could ultimately be abusive and destructive and lead to a dysfunctional family in which the members consequently suffer from fear, anger, pain, or even humiliation that is either constantly ignored or denied. You get used to doing all the work all the while single-handedly, your emotions are suppressed, and your needs are disregarded - forcing you to lead a life of survival and your identity and emotional involvement stop. You CAN heal from narcissistic abuse and codependency, thrive, and have an outstanding life. Codependency is largely learned. This means, its origins can be traced to your childhood or behavioral adjustments at a certain point in your early years of maturity. Thus, some people are more susceptible to codependency in their adulthood than others. But when you can trace your way into this trait, then you can subsequently tread more consciously and cautiously with the view to defeat it over time. This comprehensive guide will help you understand the following topics: What is narcissistic abuseRecognize the problem and the trauma bondTypes of narcissistic relationshipsLies and insecuritiesNarcissistic personality typesUnderstanding persuasion and manipulation techniquesWhat is codependencySigns of codependencyCauses of codependencyThe nature of codependencyImproving empathyWhat is shameConquering codependencyDetaching from codependent influencesPersonality developmentAddressing self-destructive habitsUnderstanding your sense of self and your inner strengthsSel
