Licensed therapist and narcissism expert Vanessa Reiser offers a guide

to identifying narcissistic abuse, especially in interpersonal

relationships, sharing practical strategies for healing.

Gaslighting. Love bombing. Hoovering. Triangulating. These

are all insidious weapons in the narcissist's toolkit.

Narcissism can be

hard to diagnose, but it is one of the hallmarks of abusive

relationships. As a therapist specializing in narcissism and domestic

abuse, Vanessa Reiser has strategies to help victims to identify,

understand and heal from abusive relationships. With a blend of

information, education and stories, Reiser defines what narcissistic

abuse is, breaks down how it's a form of domestic violence and how

narcissists think and operate, uncovering their mindset and motivations,

so readers can spot a narcissist more accurately, avoid toxic

relationships, escape dangerous situations, and heal from mental,

emotional and/or physical trauma.

Readers will learn how to:

- Identify dangerous behaviors and warning signs of narcissistic abuse

- Create an exit strategy to safely escape from an abuser

- Heal from the psychological damage and trauma

Explaining narcissistic personality disorder, clarifying common

misconceptions about narcissism, and detailing how narcissism works on a

spectrum of benign to malignant, Narcissistic Abuse gives

readers a clear picture of what narcissistic abuse entails, using

specific situations and examples to show how narcissistic traits

translate into real-life behaviours.

Reiser describes the five stages of

narcissistic abuse (luring, love bombing, mask slipping, discarding and

the smear campaign) and lists common stages and emotions that come

after the relationship with a narcissist has been severed (including

devastation, confusion, sadness, anger, understanding and healing).

With practical tools and a warm, empathetic tone, Narcissistic Abuse provides a clear path for readers to break the cycle and find a path back to themselves.
