Are you afraid to feel good? Do you see everyone else pursuing their right to happiness yet feel held back? Do you feel alone, strange or that there’s something wrong with you? Here’s the good news: None of these feelings are true! This is how people feel after a childhood as the scapegoat to a narcissistic parent. These parents require this child to feel bad so that they don’t have to. Scapegoat children learn it is psychologically dangerous to feel good about who they are. This book lays out three steps to finally make it safe to feel good about yourself.

The first story is about an infant who is unwanted by her mother. The infant's aunt, Njana, is horrified when she learns of this. And yet, Njana envies her niece because she is born in the mid-1970s. This means the niece won't be subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM) like Njana was before she turned 14 in the 1960s. The second story is about Njana's trauma sanctioned by her parents, the very people who are supposed to protect her from harm. The story is set in Kenya and later in California. Njana discloses, for the first time, how she suffered FGM in the backwoods of Kenya.

Discover how to break through your insecurities, and armor up into a person who is confident, kind, and unafraid to face challenges.

Most of us are only starting to become aware of how our foundational years contribute to who we are today. Our childhood environment shapes the foundation for our sense of self, how we feel about the world, and how we relate to others. If we experienced trauma or dysfunction along the way, it likely disrupted the pathways to these fundamental structures. Understanding our trauma is not about blame, but about understanding, learning, and growing. In most cases, our caregivers did the best they could with the tools they had, often while dealing with external or internal stressors as well.

If you have even an inkling that you may be affected by emotional abuse, you owe it to yourself to take action...but that can seem easier said than done when you find yourself falling for manipulation tactics over and over again. But there are steps you can take to break free of the cycle and set foot on the road to healing and recovery…and this guide will be by your side every step of the way. As soon as you suspect that someone in your life is doing you more harm than good, it’s time to take action.

The path to healing begins by going inwards. The path forward, paradoxically, begins by going backward. Our early experiences shape and mold the person we become, and when those experiences are filled with fear, anxiety, shame, and misery, what becomes of the adult? Whether you endured parental abuse, neglect, a home filled with conflict, or a mentally ill parent, there's no denying you can't come out of such traumas unscathed

This two-book collection offers both books in the Domestic Violence Survivor series in one place. As a survivor of domestic violence myself, I know that there's some comfort and strength to be gained from hearing about the events and situations that other people have gone through. To know you're not alone in how you're feeling whilst in an abusive relationship can feel like a God-send.

¿Sientes que estás “exagerando” incluso cuando sabes que algo no está bien? ¿Alguien te ha hecho dudar de tu memoria, de tu criterio o de tu sentido básico de quién eres? ¿Las disculpas, el afecto o las promesas aparecen de repente solo cuando empiezas a alejarte?

Have you ever felt like you're losing your mind in a relationship? You keep trying to reach some destination but keep continuously looping in circles until you can't remember where you were trying to go in the first place. That is what a relationship with a Covert, Narcissistic Psychopath is like.

Narcissistic abuse was originally defined as a specific form of emotional abuse of children by narcissistic parents, but more recently the term has been applied more broadly to refer to any abuse by a narcissist (someone that who admires their own attributes), in particular in adult-to-adult relationships the abuse may be mental, physical, financial, spiritual or sexual. If you have been through an abusive relationship with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, you will know that no one understands what you are going through unless they have personally experienced it.

These events are my recollection of my time during a physically abusive relationship, and due to the nature of the theme, there are some graphic descriptions of what I went through. This book is for people who are currently in, or have been in, an abusive relationship. It can also be a useful tool for people who have a loved one who are in an abusive relationship, as I feel it can help them understand the situation more and therefore be a better source of support.

Forget everything you think you know about psychedelics. They’re not punchlines. They’re not party favors for aging hippies. Instead, as Alex Abraham discovered, they are an innovative approach that can help heal trauma and chronic pain.

Often the characteristics of a narcissistic mother can be brushed off as her being "difficult" or "overbearing". In reality, the narcissistic mother hides many damaging behaviors that are a very real form of childhood abuse. This can be difficult for adult children of narcissistic mothers to come to terms with and comprehend, especially with the term narcissistic being such a broad term for a complex type of emotional abuse.

Offering a personal and pastoral mode of support for people affected by domestic violence, Out of Control helps you understand and combat the damage done by abuse.
