Rate this book
Have you been emotionally, verbally, or psychologically abusive to someone you love AND you really want to change?

Looking for validation? Closure? Maybe Perspective? Someone who understands?

Welcome !

I am Erik Parks. My goal is the raise awareness for NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), Get more people into therapy and also validate the victims and survivors of Narcissistic Abuse.

I make books in order to assist survivors on their healing journey and also to show Narcissists (THOSE THAT ARE WILLING) that the disorder does not have to be the end of the world for them.

My goal has always been to help as many people as possible. Although I can not diagnose any one (I’m not a therapist). I can perhaps offer you some clarity, guidance and some validation in the process.

I want you to know, you

- Recognised for wanting to change your past behaviour- Understood for your fears and remorse over how you’ve treated people you love- Invited to explore what’s causing you to behave the way you are, so you can finally get to the root of things and CHANGE- Treated with compassion and empathy as a human being trying to do better

The statistics are difficult to according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 10 million people report being abused every year, and up to 95% of those include emotional abuse.

And that’s just in North America. Let’s let that sink in for a moment. Millions of people — just like us — who are grappling with the issue of hurting the people they love the most.

That’s where I like to lean in and say, with genuine conviction, thank you for your courage in facing the hard truth about your behaviour, even though society right now wants to pretend you’re beyond hope. You’re not beyond hope.

But first, a

Before we go further, let me make something abundantly

This book does not contain a "magic wand" that will bring you instant relief or change 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 many other people. And I believe it can help you, too. The exact process I’ll be sharing with you has taken several people 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... With this book, you

- No longer be confused about why you behave abusively.- Believe - and genuinely know - that you can change, that there is a path to becoming someone who doesn’t hurt the people you love.- Have a way to dig deeper and move more fluidly in any 1-1 therapy, coaching or group work you do, because you understand your own abusiveness and how to talk about it.- Have clarity about the resources available and the choices you can make beyond the book.

Here's a little sneak preview of what you’ll

- What is a "Narcissistic Injury"- How to overcome Childhood Emotional Neglect- Healing Your Inner Child- 6 Elements Needed to Change- How To Let Go Of Cont

I bought this book because I wanted to better understand what motivates people to be narcissistic and I found it to be quite an interesting and insightful read. However, I would bet money that the book wasn’t reviewed by a dedicated editor. Some sections are painfully repetitive, as if the author needed to meet a certain word count or page number quota. Otherwise, the contents of the book was great and there are very few or dare I say any other books at all like it!

an awesome tool for a serious change!

I never thought I'd be able to change the narcissistic ways, but this book has given me the tools to do just that. It's a must-read for anyone looking to improve their relationships and grow as a person.

Good book

I was pleasantly surprised by how well-written and engaging this book is. It's a real eye-opener, and I've already started to see positive changes in behavior since reading it.

Visible Results

I was initially wary of a book that promises to help you stop being a narcissist, but this one delivers. It's insightful, actionable, and written in a way that's easy to understand and apply to your life.

This book is actually quite good.
Without being too heavy on psychological terms, it uses enough for every day people to understand what they or others they know may be going through. Very well documented and with good foundations, clear without being harsh, lays foundations, perspective, and good guidance.

Of course no book can, by it self, transform anyone just by reading it, but this is a very good roadmap.
I highly recommend it.

We are all at least a little narcissistic. This book is an interesting dive into the nature of narcissism in multiple levels as well as a practical guide to becoming less narcissistic.

There was a lot of good information in this book. I wanted a little more on how to stop doing some actions. But gave a good insight on them and ideas on where to keep looking.

Read it and am rereading it. Was part of it written by AI as a cash generation scheme from the folks at medium.com? Yeah probably. But it’s also got some clearly human elements and resonated. Good stuff.
