About this product

Product Information

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.

  • What I needed to read to reinforce my decision to regain my sanity

    After a turbulent three year relationship in which I strived to help my girlfriend overcome alcoholism and attempted to assist her in understanding how her trauma she had suffered shaped her behaviors as an adult. The problems for me were overwhelming. I walked on eggshells. I was triangulated with ex lovers and the separated husband and all the promiscuity and hurt from her on so many levels that were so subtlety breaking me down and making me so intensely focused on only her whims and desires that I lost myself. The chronic break ups via text message and the absolute ignorance of discussion about any wrong doing to menu her and if there was any talks they quickly became all about how it's my fault and how I'm the problem and what I needed to change to make her happy. I've realized through reading POWER that I was bonded to my abuser and I wasn't the problem. I'm feeling better in my recovery and am working to repair the mess that I've become. I'm feeling more confident each day and am beginning to change bad habits to get back to successful habits. I have zero contact with her. However I know it will at this point be difficult to resist her if she decides to try to call me back. The realization that the trauma bond is so powerful within my brain that it is like being a drug addict. I have to recall the awful things she put me through so I become disinterested or I could fall back into the abuse pattern again. Thank you for this book. It is invaluable to me. I have purchased a second copy for my friend. She is in a similar relationship. I know it will give her the knowledge necessary to break away.
