Shahida Arabi Knihy

Cítite sa preťažení svetom okolo vás? Trápite sa s požiadavkami iných a zažívate úzkosť či stres v konfliktoch? Vitajte vo svete empatov a vysoko citlivých ľudí, ktorí sa stávajú terčom narcistov a manipulátorov. Ako sa chrániť pred nezdravými vzťahmi? Kniha ponúka cielené tipy na zvládanie piatich hlavných typov toxických ľudí: narušitelia hraníc, pobláznenci, emocionálni upíri, narcisti a sociopati. Ak ste pripravení postaviť sa týmto toxickým osobám, nájdete tu potrebné nástroje. Vysoko citliví ľudia sa často stretávajú s manipulátormi, ktorí zneužívajú ich empatiu. Mnohí čitatelia prežili vzťahy s jedincami na vrchole toxického spektra, ako sú narcisti a psychopati. Tieto obete zažili idealizáciu, ponižovanie a nakoniec zavrhnutie. Mesiace či roky trpeli verbálnym, emocionálnym a niekedy aj fyzickým zneužívaním. Manipulátori ich psychicky týrali, izolovali a ovládali, pričom zažili prenasledovanie, obťažovanie a patologické klamstvá. Tieto skúsenosti podkopali ich sebadôveru a pripravili ich o peniaze. Kniha ponúka praktické rady, ako sa oslobodiť a získať späť moc nad svojím životom.

"Pathological mind games. Covert and overt put-downs. Triangulation. Gaslighting. Projection. These are the manipulative tactics survivors of malignant narcissists are unfortunately all too familiar with. As victims of silent crimes where the perpetrators are rarely held accountable, survivors of narcissistic abuse have lived in a war zone of epic proportions, enduring an abuse cycle of love-bombing and devaluation--psychological violence on steroids. From how to heal our addiction to the narcissist to how to recognize a covert narcissist, Shahida Arabi's articles on narcissistic abuse have gained renown as some of the most accurate and in-depth depictions of this terrifying trauma, resonating with millions of survivors all over the world and receiving endorsements from numerous mental health professionals. In this essay compilation, readers can enjoy some of her most popular articles as well as new thought pieces on narcissistic abuse: what therapists have to say about malignant narcissists and how children of narcissistic parents can become trapped in the trauma repetition cycle. Survivors are offered new insights on what it means to be both a survivor and a thriver of covert manipulation and trauma. POWER teaches us that it is important to not only understand the tactics of toxic personalities but also to recognize and combat the effects of narcissistic abuse; it guides the survivor to learning, growing, healing and most importantly of all--owning their agency to rebuild their lives and transform their powerlessness into victory."--Back cover
