Pages : 254
Book Description
Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship? Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it... The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. But First, A Warning: Before we go further, let me make something abundantly clear: This book does not contain a "magic wand" that will bring you instant answers without having to do any work. What I'm about to share with you takes both time and effort and has worked wonders for me and my private clients. And I believe it can help you too. The exact process I'll be sharing with you has taken several of my clients from a state of frustration and feeling "stuck", to crystal clarity as to what they should do. But this only works for those who are willing look deep inside themselves and are committed to finding true happiness. So with that said, let me tell you... DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR? - Doubting yourself and your sanity - Feeling like you're losing your mind - Feeling like you're always apologizing - You're second-guessing your memory - Feeling like you aren't good enough - Feeling misunderstood - Feeling lonely - Ruined self confidence - Extreme weight loss or weight gain - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity - Feeling like you don't know the difference between right and wrong - Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective) - Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex - Constantly trying to find explanations for what has happened - Feelings of helplessness and despair - A desire to self isolate - Feeling desperately misunderstood - Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief - Extreme bouts of rage - An inability to be comfortable with yourself - Strange dreams - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression The list goes on.... "NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!" I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. I felt the same way when I was recovering from emotional abuse at the hands of a narcissistic/borderline psychopath. If you try and tell people who have NO EXPERIENCE with a narcissist (there is no experience like being with a narcissist, its not their fault they can't understand) about it they will either deny your experience, tell you you are exaggerating or look at you like you were crazy. "Maybe my ex is right, maybe it really is me...." WHAT YOU NEED NOW: - Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside. -Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissist can create. I can't promise you that reading to this book is going to be a "total cure", but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days. This is not hype, this is what my audience commonly report

Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Break free from the lies and manipulation that are keeping you captive You're positive you saw a flirty text from another woman on your husband's phone. Yet, when you confront him, he tells you you're imagining things and being paranoid. A co-worker sarcastically mentions that you're not contributing enough to the big project. When you get offended, they say they were just joking and that you're too sensitive. Your mother constantly criticizes your weight. When you bring up her comments around other people, she denies ever saying them and says you are making up stories. Have you repeatedly found yourself in these types of situations where you end up doubting yourself? They might have occurred with different people, in different circumstances, but the way they make you feel is the same. Your feelings are trivialized, your thoughts are manipulated, and your reality is denied. When this is done to you repeatedly, you begin to feel confused or even crazy. You are left questioning your own reality and sanity. These are classic signs that you're being gaslighted, and it's something to take very seriously. Gaslighting is a covert form of abuse that affects your confidence and trust in yourself, which the abuser then takes advantage of to keep you under their control. Whether it's a spouse, parent, or co-worker, it's hard to break loose from the grip of a gaslighting manipulator. You will need to know how gaslighters operate, how their behavior is affecting you, and how you can reclaim your truth. In Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, you will discover: The sneaky tactics gaslighters employ that catch you off-guard and make you more vulnerable to their exploitation How to hold on to your grip on reality, despite the gaslighter's efforts to undermine it Powerful ways to respond to gaslighters, block their attacks, and take back control of the conversation Why self-care is a critical component in coping with abuse, especially if you need to regularly interact with a gaslighter The shift in mindset to help you finally gain the courage to escape an abusive relationship What you need to do after leaving a gaslighting relationship to make sure you don't fall into the same cycle again Why you shouldn't expect any closure from your abuser, and why you can still move on without it How to rebuild your sense of self after years of being torn down by others And much more. Acknowledging that you're being abused is the first step towards recovery. After years of gaslighting, you may be so used to it that you no longer recognize this is not a normal way to live. You might believe that there's no way out, or you can't imagine life without the one who's manipulating you. But if you truly want to be able to live life on your own terms, cutting yourself off from the source of your pain is essential. It won't happen overnight, and it will take committed effort, but you can feel like yourself again - the person you used to be... the person you're meant to be.
