Being in a relationship with a narcissist is like being on a roller-coaster ride with incredible highs and unbelievable lows. It's exhilarating and exciting one moment, and demoralizing and demeaning the next. Narcissists are secretly sadistic and enjoy seeing how long you will put up with the push/pull torture they engage in with you.
It's critical you understand that narcissists are incapable of love and intimacy. They put on a brilliant act in the beginning to secure your love. However, the only reason they enter into relationships is to have someone to control and manipulate. They do this to ensure they have a constant source of narcissistic supply (i.e. YOU) to stroke their fragile ego and indulge their obsession with themselves. Narcissists need constant attention, stimulation and drama in order to feel alive and eventually grow bored in stable relationships. Intimacy terrifies them and will cause them to push you away even more. You need answers to understand why this relationship is so difficult and confusing yet intoxicating and all-consuming. The Path Forward provides the answers to these questions and more:- What is a pathological narcissist?
- Why can't they love or accept love?
- Why do they dread intimacy?
- How do they gaslight us?
- Why do they keep coming back?
- Why can't I stay away?
In addition to gaining the clarity you need to understand why narcissists behave the way they do, this book will provide you with the tools, resources and mindset required to liberate yourself from the narcissist's manipulation and abuse once and for all. The Six Steps to recovery and Seven Daily Mantras on The Path Forward ensure you stay the course on your journey to heal, reconnect with yourself and find the love and life you deserve.
