Book Description
A nationally recognized author and codependency expert examines the roots of shame and its connection with codependent relationships. Learn how to heal from their destructive hold by implementing eight steps that will empower the real you, and lead to healthier relationships. Shame: the torment you feel when you’re exposed, humiliated, or rejected; the feeling of not being good enough. It’s a deeply painful and universal emotion, yet is not frequently discussed. For some, shame lurks in the unconscious, undermining self-esteem, destroying confidence, and leading to codependency. These codependent relationships—where we overlook our own needs and desires as we try to care for, protect, or please another—often cover up abuse, addiction, or other harmful behaviors. Shame and codependency feed off one another, making us feel stuck, never able to let go, move on, and become the true self we were meant to be. In Conquering Shame and Codependency, Darlene Lancer sheds new light on shame: how codependents’ feelings and beliefs about shame affect their identity, their behavior, and how shame can corrode relationships, destroying trust and love. She then provides eight steps to heal from shame, learn to love yourself, and develop healthy relationships.

Book Description
Do you want to learn how to survive the hell of a narcissistic family, overcome toxic parents' hurtful legacy, and reclaim your emotional autonomy? If yes, then keep reading! Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not a mental illness or disease. It is a personality disorder characterized by self-centeredness, lack of empathy for others, and an exaggerated sense of one's own importance. People with NPD tend to be extremely competitive, are exploitative of others in their personal lives and the workplace, and maybe envious of others or believe that others are envious of them. Children of narcissistic parents often grow up depressed, with low self-esteem, and feel unworthy and unloved. Narcissistic parents brainwash their children with love and attention, but they constantly put their children down, belittle them and oppress them. The reality is that narcissists effectively deny a child's entitlement to a mother's affections, her approval, her appreciation of her child as well as her love. This guide will show you a set of clinical tools and psychological techniques that will empower you to take back control of your life. It will help you understand narcissistic parents better, how to stand up to them, and set some boundaries in your relationship with them. You will be able to learn how to resist the manipulation tactics of a narcissistic parent and be more assertive. Also, it will help you cope with feelings of worthlessness that come from being raised by a narcissist who is always putting you down. ★★★This book covers the following topics:★★★ Psychological Abuse Becoming Aware How to Fortify Your "Self”?

Wide-ranging expert coverage examines the many manifestations of narcissism, including grandiose, vulnerable, communal, and collective varieties. Narcissism’s etiology, the role of social media culture in its maintenance and amplification, and the complex phenomena of narcissistic leadership, spirituality, friendship, and love are just a snapshot of topics that are examined. The book’s section on intrapersonal processes delves into how the narcissistic mind works, as well as how narcissists feel about themselves and their peers. It also investigates narcissists’ grasp of emotions. Chapters explore associated personality traits and numerous other important correlates of narcissistic personality.

Book Description
Harvard Medical School psychologist and Huffington Post blogger Craig Malkin addresses the "narcissism epidemic," by illuminating the spectrum of narcissism, identifying ways to control the trait, and explaining how too little of it may be a bad thing. "What is narcissism?" is one of the fastest rising searches on Google, and articles on the topic routinely go viral. Yet, the word "narcissist" seems to mean something different every time it's uttered. People hurl the word as insult at anyone who offends them. It's become so ubiquitous, in fact, that it's lost any clear meaning. The only certainty these days is that it's bad to be a narcissist—really bad—inspiring the same kind of roiling queasiness we feel when we hear the words sexist or racist. That's especially troubling news for millennials, the people born after 1980, who've been branded the "most narcissistic generation ever." In Rethinking Narcissism readers will learn that there's far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that we all fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side, and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self. On the far end lies sociopathy. Malkin deconstructs healthy from unhealthy narcissism and offers clear, step-by-step guidance on how to promote healthy narcissism in our partners, our children, and ourselves.
