Publisher's Synopsis
Had enough of relationships which are deficient in empathy? Had enough of people who are emotionally unavailable?
In this book, you'll learn why you're attracting them into your life and what to do about it. We'll talk about what codependents, empaths, and narcissists all have in common: Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). We'll discover how to de-program from this faulty childhood programming to recognize and avoid toxic thinking that leads to toxic relationships.
This book is not only helpful for preventing destructive relationships, but also for coping with them if in a co-parenting or co-worker dynamic that is unavoidable. With strategies on how to deal with a narcissist (or someone who is empathy-deficient), you will also learn how to practice more self-love through practical, real world advice on setting and maintaining healthy boundaries - including knowing when and how to go 'no contact'.
Isn't it time you have the happy and healthy relationships you deserve with emotionally-available and empathy-sufficient people? Yes. It is. And, with this book, that ideal can become more of a reality.WHAT ACTUAL BUYERS SAID ABOUT THIS BOOK, PREVIOUSLY ON VIMEO VIDEO:I just want to commend you on the work that you've done, and say THANK YOU (from the bottom of my heart) for having the courage to do this series! STANDING OVATION for PART 2 [chapter 2] alone....WOW...JUST WOW!!! I just got through Part 2, and it was such a huge EYE OPENER for me! I can hardly wait to hear the rest of this series! It's been LIFE CHANGING so far, and I'm sure the rest will be as well! You truly are a BLESSING to others! I'm so GRATEFUL that I was lead to your channel during my own journey of healing!
This video was so good and so right on, and I loved the way she introduced it to me. I cannot wait for the second one [chapter two] and the others because the residual pain can only be told by one who has experienced it. ...Great number 1[chapter 1]!
Amen Steph! It has taken me decades to realize how I was trained from the time I learned to talk to be reactionary when narcs push my buttons. I read and heard from many sources that if the narc does agree to go into therapy that the therapy makes them worse. There is no cure for them because like you said, they like who they are and what they do works for them.
What helped me to heal was learning that the sweet mean thing narcs do; they love you one minute and then hate you the next, produces excess dopamine in your brain that is exactly what happens to the brain when a junkie shoots up. We're addicted to the way the narc treats us (not the narc himself). We really are junkies and being treated this way is our drug of choice. This information helped me to be gentle with myself and to know that going completely no contact was essential. One conversation on the phone with the narc is like an alcoholic in recovery telling themself that just one drink won't hurt then they find themself waking up from a two year binge.
I had been pondering why there was a pattern of what I had then termed 'energy vampires' entering and leaving my life. Yet more importantly, what actions could I take to either prevent or mitigate such damage? My life has changed dramatically in the last 6 months and has been gradually changing significantly over last 4 years. There have been a lot of revelations and clearing done... Your videos have provided authentic, useful and actionable insight into how I can improve my perspective to better deal with a flood of narcissistic activity in my environment along with how I can stop contributing to such situations.
