Rooted in psychological research, The Narcissist and the Awakening takes a look at emotional abuse from a spiritual perspective. Within these pages, author Paris Stephenson explores the possible influence of karma and past life events on our current relationships, inquiring why we might make soul contracts with narcissists and why some relationships with our soul family might be destructive. The importance of transcending these ancient karmic connections is also examined so that we can reclaim our power, discard karmic ties, and create our own destiny. Right now, many people are healing at an accelerated rate from karma they have been carrying for possibly thousands of years. This is likely an uncomfortable and painful process, if you have experienced emotional abuse, then this book will be a small but useful tool, assisting you along your journey, with its aim to kickstart your spiritual ascension and new beginning, with wisdom, meditation and prayer.

The classic New York Times bestseller, with a new introduction by E.J. Dionne Jr. When The Culture of Narcissism was first published in 1979, Christopher Lasch was hailed as a “biblical prophet” (Time). Lasch’s identification of narcissism as not only an individual ailment but also a burgeoning social epidemic was groundbreaking. His diagnosis of American culture is even more relevant today, predicting the limitless expansion of the anxious and grasping narcissistic self into every part of American life. The Culture of Narcissism offers an astute and urgent analysis of what we need to know in these troubled times.

Combining clinical analysis with psychological profiles of famous narcissists, here is an indispensable guide to recognizing, coping with, and ultimately overcoming the destructive behavior of narcissists. Everybody needs some healthy narcissism. But in a society obsessed with appearance, wealth, and status, it's easy for problematic narcissists to thrive. Many people who seem to "have it all" are suffering from one of the most common--and overlooked--personality disorders of our time: high level narcissism. Typified by an obsession with perfection, a desperate need for admiration, and a willingness to use and exploit others for personal gain, high level narcissism can spell devastation for anyone who crosses the narcissist's path. In Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life, psychotherapist Linda Martinez-Lewi presents an in-depth and supportive plan for identifying, understanding, and dealing with high level narcissistic behavior in those close to you. Martinez-Lewi helps you to liberate yourself from draining personal relationships with narcissists, and shows how to regain a sense of peace, balance, and well-being. Drawing on detailed profiles of famous narcissists, including Pablo Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Armand Hammer, and Ayn Rand, as well as expertly rendered case studies from her private practice as a psychotherapist, Martinez-Lewi shows how to: - understand where narcissistic behavior comes from; -learn to spot narcissistic traits, even in the early stages of relationships; - realize why attempting to change a narcissist is fruitless; and - protect yourself from the narcissist's opportunism, manipulative behavior, and lack of empathy.

Healing from Hidden Abuse takes the reader through the six stages of recovery that are necessary for individuals to find important answers to the life chaos they have experienced.

This is a story about my life and how I overcame Narcissistic abuse. I am an Empathic Rescuer. When we feel lonely or incomplete we open the door wide to Narcissists. Now on a Soul level, we bring them in so they bring us to crash and burn so we can become visible to ourselves and begin our Emotional Healing journey. Many of us feel like someone dropped us off and forgot to pick us back up! We feel like square pegs in round holes! Now there is a very good reason for that! How many of you sit outside, look at the stars and long for "home"? Does not make sense now does it, or does it? How many of you are frustrated at continually bringing the same type of partners into your relationships? Is there something we can do differently to get a different result? The answer is YES! I invite you to do your own research, don't take my word for some of the things I share with you as they are my understandings of situations. Have any of you noticed how the education system now a days disapproves of children asking questions? They just want children to regurgitate what they have been told. Governments don't like you questioning their official version of situations either! Your mind works best like a parachute, when it is open!
