TitleYou're not the problem : the impact of narcissism and emotional abuse and how to heal / Helen Villiers, Katie McKenna.
AuthorVilliers, Helen, author.
Barcode529486
CollectionNF Self-Help
Summary"Many emotionally abusive behaviors from parent to child have become socially acceptable because of the way we repeat things our parents said and did, things passed down from generation to generation that persist today. You're Not the Problem enables us to recognize these behaviors and realize the profound impact they have had, and still have, and to see the patterns they form in our relationships with parents, partners and friends. It also shows us how to heal on a personal level but also on a societal level. The legacy and the damage caused by narcissistic and emotional abuse will carry on, perpetuated by trauma and repeating cycles, unless we learn to recognize and understand it, unless we as individuals and as a society learn how to challenge it and stop its vicious cycle of destruction-which is what this book sets out to do. This book will explain and illustrate: How to recognize emotional abuse in family relationships: its language and behaviors; The immediate and long term impact of these behaviors; Strategies for healing; How to avoid repeating these behaviors. Using client narratives and sample scripts, Villiers and McKenna offer a compassionate, sympathetic approach to looking at our familial patterns-and how we can break free from these toxic relationships and reclaim our lives"-- Provided by publisher.
