Author Description

Love, quarrels, closeness, hate; toxic relationships are an unholy mix of beautiful and terrible moments. No matter the reasons: narcissistic partners, parents, girlfriends, or superiors can find their way into our lives. In ten in-depth interviews, renowned experts answer crucial questions. They are bestselling authors, psychologists, court experts, couples therapists, and coaches from USA, Austria, England, and Germany. Richard Grannon ("How To Take Revenge on a Narcissist") Ross Rosenberg ("The Human Magnet Syndrome") Les Carter ("Pleasing You Is Killing Me”) Stefanie Stahl ("The Child In You") Questions covered include: Why do we become entangled in dysfunctional relationships with narcissistic people? How do relationship-disordered people manipulate those around them? Why are we vulnerable to love bombing? What is toxic heartbreak? Lying, cheating, devaluation, and manipulation… what keeps us in relationships that include these things, despite the fact we know better? Why do we feel guilty when it is the other person who behaves in a self-centered, abhorrent way? Why do all attempts to resolve conflicts constructively with narcissists fail? Why do we hope (often for too long) to be able to change a narcissistic partner? How do we end a toxic dynamic? Where should we put all the anger and frustration that these people trigger in us? What are the "red flags" to identify narcissistic people? Plus, do you know what is meant by terms like Benching, Gaslighting, White Knight Narcissists, Future Faking, Fast Forwarding, Love Bombing, or People Pleaser? A comprehensive glossary explains them!
