If Only I'd Known: How to Outsmart Narcissists, Set Guilt-Free Boundaries, and Create Unshakeable Self-Worth by Chelsey Brooke Cole

 

★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. 

All of us have narcissists in our lives, those people who suck the air out of our lungs into their own ... without ever saying, "Breathe with me," or "Enough already! They exhaust us - by proximity or demands - and make us feel like we're worth nothing.

But how do you deal with them, especially when they are family or close friends? Cole uses her experience in therapy to explain the what, how, and when of understanding six kinds of narcissists and setting boundaries for self-health.

Worth reading, especially if you're tired of being drawn into all that drama! Your daily test of endurance is about to find worthwhile insights about recognizing the cycles of abuse and trauma ... and the courage to be inspired beyond the chaos and mindset that narcissists produce.

You're there? Here's help for when to say yes and when to say no, for coming to terms with "that person." (If you suspect the narcissist might be you, there's help for that, too.)
