I was, unfortunately, unable to download this title as it had been archived so my rating will be neutral at three stars.

I received this after the publishing date and have enjoyed it. It is a book that I am taking my time through. It isn’t something you just sit and read cover to cover and never look at again. I was excited to get a copy of this and feel it is a book that I will keep coming back to and reading bits and pieces of!

This book is about helping yourself heal after abuse and/or trauma from people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It outlines criteria of trauma and gives specific examples. Then you follow several clearly laid-out steps for confronting and processing through the damage it has caused you.

I thought this book was immensely practical. Sometimes when you read books about Narcissistic Personality Disorder you get so bogged down in the problems and nature of the abuser that it can feel hopeless. This book was refreshing in that it stressed what the victims can do to recover and why victims will often continue to provide supply. Realizing your part in in providing Narcissistic supply is not to blame victims, but shows how tangled and messy the relationship can be, something that might be a revelation to victims of emotional abuse.

This book focuses most of its efforts on the step-by-step guide to identifying traumas, processing them, and moving on in a healthy way. I found it to be incredibly practical, positive, and hopeful. I would recommend to others interested in this topic.

Special thanks for NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I'd been searching for a book on narcissistic abuse for a while now, never really finding one that I could relate to completely.
After seeing this pop up on my Netgalley, I was hopeful that I'd be accepted to read a copy, so was overjoyed when I was!
Melanie's writing flows beautifully, it's like hearing from a friend.... as a fellow sufferer, she writes from experience and her words definately hit home. This book couldn't have come at a better time for me, and I read it slowly, savouring each page... I'd recommend it to anyone who is victim of a narcissist, and am very grateful to the Author for writing it.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for allowing me to read.

This is a helpful book on a sensitive and emotional subject. I recommend this book if you've stuffed away these painful feeling and are ready to work on your p[ainful past.

Until my divorce is never known about the term "narcissism" WOW it was a game changer, ( once I could wrap my mind around the profound shock that it wasn't all in my head) this helped build my knowledge

I would like to thank with gratitude the publisher , author and Net Galley for this opportunity to read this trans formative book that has forever changed my life. My review opinion is my own.
If you have been the victim of Narcissistic Abuse in your life you MUST read this remarkable book. The author is absolutely brillant and has created the program called: (The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program – NARP) after her own life experience with Narcissistic Abuse. This program is successful in over 80 countries worldwide . This is the most exemplary program for recovery from this abuse that i have known. I am so grateful for this book and the authors work. .

I suffered Narcissistic Abuse from two Brothers that were relentlessly narcissistically abusive to me my entire childhood and even into my 50's torturing me at every possible opportunity until the worse ( A narcissistic abusive alcoholic) one finally passed away thankfully. I never realized that i had incorporated this abuse into relationships as that was what I internalized and what I thought I deserved. not knowing anything else other then abuse. This is the trauma cycle that follows victims as the author documents. . Narcissistic Abuse caused me to have all the symptoms the author describes in herself. Anxiety, severe social phobia, depression and panic attacks as I was constantly abused like this my entire childhood and most of my adulthood. I therefore had withdrawn from life and was just reliving the abuse over and over hiding from life.
After breaking free from the last Narcissistic Abusive person in my life I began to experience healing but never quite felt that my healing was near complete . The author talks of how we relive and internalize traumas by not living fully and having the effects we cannot break free from. The author shows us how to break free through her remarkable program and how to start living a full life beyond the effects of abuse.

Upon reading this program and the author's book It is as if a gentle feeling of healing has come over my life. The program works. it is simply brillant. Upon reading this book I gained insight for the first time into my own healing and proper ways to move forward. The author teaches us how to regain our personal power and recognize our symptoms to move beyond them. The modalities are gentle, soothing and encouraging to us to change our inner cycles and therefore grow beyond the effects of abuse. It is sensible and easy to follow. I will. be buying this book as I work on my own healing . This is a book to read with a notebook and a highlighter as you will want to refer back to the teachings every day of your healing. It is absolutely brillant and a must read for all of us that were subjected to abuse cycles in our lives. I thank the author for sharing her work here and for the remarkable program that is changing lives like mine.

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.

I appreciated Melanie approach to explaining narcissism, the traits and how to get out from under it and start the process to heal. Melanie takes a good deal of time to lay the foundation that this is a process and how to work through it. With a strong emphasis on the time it will take to heal after being in a narcissistic abusive relationship.

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.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC.

As someone who left an abusive marriage with a narcissist, I could completely relate to this book.

It is a bit of information overload at times and deep thinking required but overall very helpful information just have to take at a slow pace. Helping to focus on not being a victim as much as healing and learning from this situation to move on with your life.

Situations that the author described was like she lived through the relationship with me. Nice knowing that you aren’t alone in this situation.

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.

Excellent! A must read. .
Not a book to race through. Take the time to work through it .
Review scheduled for the publication date of the book.

I received an advance readers copy in exchange for last review. This author has been a real groundbreaker in the field of recovering from narcissistic abuse. You may be familiar with her podcasts and YouTube videos, this book lays out her unique plan addressing healing and moving on.] To anyone who had been through this kind of nightmare. She really focuses on healing and positivity as opposed to merely attacking the narcissist. It is a very forward moving dynamic

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.
