Beskrivning

Defeating the Giant: A Guide to Recognizing and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse addresses the reality that anyone, at any time, can be impacted by someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Whether among family, friends, coworkers, supervisors, or other community circles—someone with NPD can appear and wreak havoc seemingly without warning. Those impacted can internalize the experience, resulting in feelings of fear, doubt, shame, and depression as well as a loss of identity. Readers get a glimpse into the author’s personal experience, then explore the formal diagnosis and characteristics of an NPD abuser. To defeat and begin healing from the narcissistic giant, the reader is guided through specific skills that infuse practice to not only help assess and understand their experiences but also reclaim their identity and future decisions. This book addresses attachment; the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; and identification of one’s strengths to effectively communicate, maintain boundaries, make choices, and have healthier relationships. Readers will learn how to understand the NPD giant, get specific tools to reclaim their power, and ultimately defeat the giant’s hold.
