This book is great at helping identify signs of a narcissistic relationship. You can tell the author is very passionate about helping those figure out where they are and allowing them to get the confirmation they need and resources they‘ll need if they do find themselves in an abusive relationship with a narcissist. There is a section with different assessments to help you identify different aspects of your relationship. Very insightful! Definitely a good read just to be aware, but also if you suspect that you or someone you know is in a relationship like this, and how best to go about getting help.

Essential reading for anyone going through difficulties in their relationship. A personal journey and compassionate but dedicated to helping those going through painful experiences, the writer identifies the traits that are exhibited in narcissists and helps the reader unpick the emotional manipulation going on.... It reassures you that what you feel is valid and works towards helping you deal with those feelings.
