You Can Thrive After Narcissistic Abuse

This is a first for me by this author... but I found it really interesting so it won't be my last.

A unique recovery programme created by one of the worlds leading on-line authorities on Narcissistic Abuse.
Narcissistic abuse was originally defined as a specific form of emotional abuse of children by narcissistic parents, more recently the term has been applied more broadly to refer to any abuse by a narcissist (someone that who admires their own attributes), in particular adult-to-adult relationships the abuse may be mental, physical, financial, spiritual or sexual. If you have been through an abusive relationship with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, you will know that no one understands what you are going through unless they have personally experienced it. Melanie Tonia Evans was abused by her former husband for over five years, it almost took her to the point of no return, at her lowest point she had an epiphany that signified the birth of the Quanta Freedom Healing Technique. In this book you will learn how to: recognise if you are in an abusive relationship how to detach remove yourself from the narcissist's ability to affect or abuse you any more identify your subconscious programme, release it and replace it focus on healing yourself become empowered thrive and not just survive This revolutionary programme is designed to heal you from the inside out, its effectiveness has been proven by thousands of people worldwide.

The first section looks at recognising a narcissist... something that isn't always that easy to spot when in the situation.
The second section helps you find how to cope and repair after the abuse has ended... it gives you activities to do using real life scenarios to illustrate their point

This is quite a helpful book that I will be re-reading and working through the activities... the author really focuses on healing and positivity as opposed to merely attacking the narcissist.
Self-Care and Mental Well Being is important and this book will help with that.

It's an eye-opener that you'll need to read through slowly and go back to several times... I would recommend for anyone who thinks they are or are in a narcissistic relationship.

Thank-You Netgalley for my ARC.

What an eye-opening book. Take the time to slowly work through the steps for recovery.

This is a book which identifies the traits of a narcissist and how to slowly release the abuse and become a full person again.

Melanie Evans issues the Thriver Mantra: “whatever happened was for a reason and if you can find out and heal that reason, then not only will this situation never happen to you again, but you will evolve and heal, and your life will improve and expand way beyond how you were living previously – even before the abuse to place.” Isn’t this exactly what anyone who has had a relationship with a narcissist is looking for?

Ms. Evans provides descriptions of narcissists. After reading these, I found that I was married to a narcissist. I always thought he was one. However, after years of everything being my fault, being called names and constantly told I was deficient in so many areas, I thought it was me who was inferior. This book helped me to realize that it wasn’t me who was the problem.

The second section shows us how to heal from this abuse. It provides steps for ways to learn to put this abuse behind us. Exercises are outlined to help us do such. It is a wonderful guide to healing since the exercises are contained within it. So many books show us what we need to fix but give us no concrete ways to do so. I loved the steps in this book. Go slowly through each of these. You cannot be successful if you rush through and skip actually doing the exercises.

I would recommend this book to everyone. All of us know a narcissist. If you are fortunate enough not to be in a relationship with one, help someone else who is: buy them this guide.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

I was really pleased to receive a copy of this book as I thought there was a covert narcissist in my life. Even though a lot of Melanie's own experience was not with a covert narcissist a lot of the traits were there. This book really informed me and opened my eyes to narcissism in general and its devastating effects on their victims. The first part of the book is talking about narcissism in general and the second part is the step by step healing process that a lot of people have used very successfully once they are out of the narcissists grip. Highly recommend this book - a great read especially for someone who has/had a narcissist in their life. Thank you so much for an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.

This book is very informative for anyone who is in close contact with a narcissist. It offers advice on how to spot them as they can be a workmate:a friend: a romantic partner or a family member .

The first section deals with recognising a narcissist. It details traits unique to people who have this personality disorder.

The second half gives activities and real life situations which aim at helping you to thrive after surviving narcissistic abuse.

The thriving instead of being a victim is very enlightening and the need to heal yourself and not try relentlessly to change the narcissist is very true.

A fantastic book for anyone to read who suspects they may have a narcissist in their life. One to take time to read and study as part of your self care. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for my chance to read this enlightening book.

I’ve just had a read through and, my word, I wish I had this 18 months ago when the penny dropped and I realised the guy I’d been dating was a vicious narcissist.
Getting ‘over’ him has been one of the most challenging things in my life. I was so entrenched in the belief that it was all my fault. That, like he said, I was too demanding, too sensitive and a ‘drama queen’ ... and while I have worked out this thought process was engineered, it’s hard to let it go.
This is where this book comes in. The first section looks at recognising a narcissist; something I was able to fine a vast amount of documentation on when I had my suspicions about Jack (name changed). What I have struggled to find is how to cope and repair yourself after the abuse has ended. This book’s second half does this with amazing and useful detail. It gives a person activities to do and uses real life scenarios to illustrate their point.

This is a book I will regularly come back to as a way of topping up my self care and mental well being.
