Publisher's summary

Narcissistic abuse affects us mentally, emotionally, physically, and psychologically. The gravity of the repercussions can only be fully understood by those who have been through this type of ongoing trauma. Survivors often experience low self-esteem, a feeling of powerlessness, fear, and self-doubt. They feel shattered, confused, depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed with emotions. Symptoms of complex PTSD are common, as well as many types of chronic illness. These relationships can bring us to the depths of despair, where we wonder if it is even possible to heal.

Healing after narcissistic abuse is possible, and this book will show you how.

Debbie Mirza shares her own personal story of healing after experiencing several narcissists throughout her life, as well as simple yet powerful techniques that she has learned through her own experience, as well as years of interacting with thousands of survivors in her support group and coaching practice.

You will learn tools and practices that will empower you, bring you clarity, and enable you to see your true worth. The way you were treated had nothing to do with you, and this healing path will become your hero’s journey.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"A beautiful and insightful guide to deep healing after narcissistic abuse. Debbie Mirza's groundbreaking second book in her series on narcissism gently guides survivors through a life-changing journey of self-exploration and hope. I cannot recommend this book and author highly enough!” (Jackson MacKenzie, author of Psychopath Free and Whole Again)

What a Great Help!

The most helpful tools I’ve encountered have come from this author. Her online support group and Facebook page helped me realize that I’m not nuts!

Fortunately for me, my confidence was never lost but it did fade during a period and she reminded me to rise and shine once again.

Being in a toxic relationship where crazy-making behaviors are de riguer, feel comforted knowing it’s NOT you….it’s the other person.

Great read—better have a pen and notebook handy.

So so good

Narration was super calming.. too calming for me. When I sped up the speed to 1.2 it was a lot easier for me to stay focused.

So many things in here have literally been said to me. I appreciate how the author shares her experience, provides a pdf and questions and discussion points to identify patterns and specific struggles that result from narcissistic abuse. I also am grateful for her breaking down how so many of us being abused and are being told we are the narcissist, are not - because of specific things that we do that the abuser doesn’t do.

I recommend this book! I should have sped it up from the beginning and it wouldn’t have felt so sleepy and hard to listen to - this author is very talented and very soothing. This is an important book on the healing journey and sifting out truth from the lies we are told and believe, and why we believe them from the narcissist. This book is part of my journey to finding myself again.

Amazing Author

Thank you for this book. It goes beyond identifying covert narcissists, and how to care for yourself and survive it.

a MUST buy!

You will NOT regret purchasing and listening to anything Debbie Mirza writes. This is the second book I've purchased that she's written, and it was just as wonderful as the first. It has given me sooooo many valuable tips for healing myself and moving on after being in a narcissistic relationship. It has provided me with insight as to how and why I got myself into the relationship, what happened during it, and stages I'll go through after breaking out of it. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this book is. She gives advice on how to deal with toxic people in your life and how to recognize that they might be. Buy this and listen to it as soon as you can. You won't regret it!

When it’s meant to be God will guide you where he needs you to be!

Loved the pace and accuracy of the experience
Thank you for finding the courage to tell your story out loud. Unfortunately it’s comforting to know I’m not alone and that there are ways to heal and grow again!

Wow!

Thank you Debbie for such a beautifully written and narrated book. I just finished listening to it on Audible. Everything you described in the book is what I have experienced, after being raised by two emotionally immature parents whom I believe have strong traits of NPD, especially my mother. As a result, I have suffered low self-esteem, been easily bullied, and have attracted narcissistic partners into my life, all the while thinking there was something wrong with me. Someone once told me what was “wrong” with me was that I was “too nice,” always people pleasing and allowing others to control my feelings. This is exactly what you described. What I liked most about your book is that you offer great suggestions about how to heal. I have already started using them and noticed a difference right away. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your experiences and giving me and others like me the hope and guidance we have desperately needed.

Wow!

I am so grateful I found this book. It’s a relief to know I’m not crazy.

Thank you, Debbie.

Thank you for writing this book for those who are taking the time to heal from all the narcissistic abuse we knowingly or unknowingly endured. The letter at the end of the book almost made me cry. Thank you for understanding and sharing all that you did in this book. The Covert Passive Aggressive Narcissist was the first book I read and it helped me a lot, along with therapy. I started reading this book shortly after finishing the other book. It didn’t feel like I was ready for this book so I stopped reading. It’s been three weeks since I left my narcissistic partner and I decided to finish this book. Perfect timing. Great book. Thank you, Debbie.

Best book I’ve ever read on this subject! SO helpful!!

I had ordered the paperback version of this book because the author’s first book about narcissism was outstanding. This book contains more of her story of abuse and path back to wholeness. It’s also filled with exercises and information to help you start your own healing journey. Reading this book was like curling up on the couch with your best friend and sitting with a master therapist all at once. I was excited to see that Debbie had also recorded an audible version in her own voice. I just listened to the audible version of this book. It only increased my appreciation of the wisdom in this book! It washed over me in a whole new way listening to the author's soothing voice read it to me. Her compassion (since she's walked this road) and her confidence (since she's come so far in her recovery) made the information in this book come alive. I felt like I understood better after listening to her. More than ever I believed a hero's journey was possible. I highly recommend listening to the author in her own words and in her own voice. Even if you've read this fantastic book.

So much healing and clarity! Highly recommend!

In my role as a psychotherapist, I have walked alongside many people healing from trauma and confusion around a relationship with a narcissist. After running across this amazing book, I have made reading it my first recommendation for my clients who are working to find themselves again after leaving difficult relationships. The author guides us in exactly what she says - a gentle, restorative path to healing. The author's depth of knowledge, the vulnerability she shows in sharing her own story, and the practical tools for healing she offers are some of the many reasons I give this book five stars.
I had previously purchased the print version of this book but wanted to check out this audio version as many of my clients have more time to listen than to sit and read. The author reads the book herself, and her gentle voice conveys so much compassion. The publisher has also provided a PDF of the exercises from the book as part of the audio purchase. I can't recommend it highly enough!
