Take Back Your Life: 103 Highly-Effective Strategies to Snuff Out a Narcissist’s Gaslighting and Enjoy the Happy Life You Really Deserve

by Angela Atkinson

**SECOND UPDATED 2018** Are You Being Gaslighted? You’re at a party and you notice your husband getting a bit too close to another woman. After the party, you confront him. He tells you to stop being so insecure and controlling; that he’s his own man and if you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have acted like that in the first place. After arguing all night, you end up begging for forgiveness and apologize for the trouble. Maybe it’s your mom - she’s picking on you like it’s a sport. She’s worried about what you’re wearing, what you’re eating - who you’re hanging out with - but it’s unhealthy. Instead of fighting back, you just suck it up and take it - maybe you’re too sensitive, or perhaps you really are crazy after all. Who can’t take a bit of criticism, anyway? Or it’s your boss, who told you that you had her support on your latest project, only to backpedal when it’s time to present it to the team. Suddenly, she criticizes you for your poor choices and she’s jumped ship - but when you talk to her later, she tells you it was wrong from the beginning and you need to be more careful in the future. You find yourself wondering if your judgment might really be flawed, after all. Maybe this stuff doesn’t happen in your life, but for many people, it’s an everyday reality. If you think it could never be you, think again! Some of the most intelligent and capable people are living in painfully toxic relationships with narcissists, and they’re plagued by regular bouts of gaslighting, an insidious form of emotional abuse and manipulation that can be crueler than more obvious forms of abuse because it sort of sneaks up on you. Because of its insidious nature, gaslighting is one form of emotional abuse that is hard to recognize and even more challenging to break free from. Part of that is because the narcissist exploits one of our greatest fears - the fear of being alone. This book offers a comprehensive plan for dealing with gaslighting and other forms of narcissistic abuse. Inside you’ll find all kinds of tools to help you snuff out gaslighting and toxic emotional abuse, including the following. Start on the Road to Emotional Abuse Recovery The 10 Most Important Things You Need to Know if You're in a Toxic Relationship With a Narcissist Mean People 3 Top Life Hacks for Dealing With Your Everyday, Average Narcissists 3 Best Practices for Dealing With Negative People in Your Life Narcissists in Where Gaslighting Begins 5 Surprising Facts About Gaslighting 3 Shocking Common Qualities Among the Partners of Narcissists The 3 Stages of Gaslighting Gaslighting Stage Defense Gaslighting Stage Depression How can you tell if you’re being gaslighted?

Awesome, thank you for setting me free!

I would like to add that narcissistic behaviour can run in families! A family can produce a few in every generation. Thanks to social media for helping lead them away from the lives of the rest of us. Thank you Angela for a great book and a path to move on into a better future.
