Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I have suffered from narcissistic abuse, which means being abused by an individual who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Such a person is pathologically self-absorbed, over-entitled, and caught up in feelings and behaviors that most adults never experience.

#2 I met someone who I believed was the perfect man for me. I was 35 years old, and he was caring, attentive, and attractive. I fell in love quickly, easily, and completely. But his cancer condition became fully blown again, and his jealous behavior increased. I was terrified of any other men looking at me.

#3 I was in overdrive, trying to sort out the disasters and mess caused by my husband, which kept me distracted from what was really happening to me: my soul and my ability to define my truth, rights, or needs were being torn to shreds.

#4 I experienced a silent internal meltdown several weeks later. I was rushed to an emergency medical center, given a sedative, and the images subsided. Tests revealed that I was suffering from an adrenal breakdown, where my body’s adrenal glands could no longer cope with the amount of stress they were suffering.

#1

I have suffered from narcissistic abuse, which means being abused by an individual who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Such a person is pathologically self-absorbed, over-entitled, and caught up in feelings and behaviors that most adults never experience.

#2

I met someone who I believed was the perfect man for me. I was 35 years old, and he was caring, attentive, and attractive. I fell in love quickly, easily, and completely. But his cancer condition became fully blown again, and his jealous behavior increased. I was terrified of any other men looking at me.

#3

I was in overdrive, trying to sort out the disasters and mess caused by my husband, which kept me distracted from what was really happening to me: my soul and my ability to define my truth, rights, or needs were being torn to shreds.

#4

I experienced a silent internal meltdown several weeks later. I was rushed to an emergency medical center, given a sedative, and the images subsided. Tests revealed that I was suffering from an adrenal breakdown, where my body’s adrenal glands could no longer cope with the amount of stress they were suffering.

#5

I had never before understood that my ex-husband’s presence in my life had anything to do with me personally. Yet now, as I was shown all the correlations and the deep soul-healing reasons why he had a role in the stage play of my life, I realized it was to help me heal the traumas I’d experienced before even meeting him.

#6

I had agoraphobia, which is a fear of going out in open areas. I had been treating clients with trauma for 18 months, and I was happier than I ever had been. But one condition persisted: I had acute agoraphobia. I tried everything I could to heal this, but nothing stuck.

#7

I began to heal people
