It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle

I have severe Depression, PTSD, OCD, and Anxiety/Panic due to physical and emotional abused I suffered at the hands of my malignant Narcissistic Personality disordered mother. From the title, I really thought that this book was going to help me to overcome many of my issues.
Nope.
It advises the abused to rebuild a relationship with the abuser. I'm flabbergasted. NPD's fight to control even their adult children with brainwashing and gaslighting. Who would suggest that I put myself back in that position???
In addition to the horrible "fixes" the author encourages, the audiobook promises PDF worksheets with the purchase of the audiobook, but never gives you the link to them, so half of what's supposed to help you can not even be accessed.

I felt the same when coming to that part, as I also have a parent with npd…� came to the reviews to see if others thought the same. Not sure whether the book is worth it to continue reading�

Same. I’m so sorry this happened to you. As I was reading what he was suggesting I started again feeling that horrible guilt that I thought I got rid of. I also grew up with a malicious, narcissistic mother. Very damaging book to read especially if you’re only just starting your healing process.
