I am not sure I've ever read a self-help book I found so very helpful. If you are healing from a toxic relationship � romantic, familial, work or friendship � this is for you.

If you are dealing with or recovering from invalidating, antagonistic gaslighters who make you feel like everything is your fault, it’s a toxic relationship and narcissistic abuse is a helpful shorthand, regardless of any formal diagnosis. The book is also focused on moderate narcissism, not the kind of behavior that everyone, everywhere would identify as unhealthy 100% of the time.

I deeply appreciated that she centered the survivor and focused on hope and healing, though there was enough information to understand narcissists a little better, it wasn't really about them. I also appreciated that she didn't prescribe that everyone needed to go no-contact or end every unhealthy relationship and offered ways to find healing if you cannot or chose not to leave the relationship.

I was listening to it on audible and before I got to the halfway point, had already ordered a physical copy because I knew I'd be referencing it for months and years to come in my own healing journey. It would also be helpful for clinicians and friends of people recovering from narcissistic abuse. If I could buy a case and hand them out, I would.
