My Weapons of Choice Against Emotional Abuse


Narcissistic abuse changes your brain. It numbs out the logical part of it so we function mainly from the emotional part. The brain was designed this way to protect us danger.

However… this leaves us in a dangerously vulnerable state.

It’s especially at this stage when we need SOLID information and support to keep us focused and afloat.

This is why when I was at the beginning of recovery, I dug up every research and studies on NPD abuse and the effect it has on victims. And I LISTENED.

I listened to mental health professionals who were familiar with narcissistic abuse, survivors who have successfully broken free from the abusive cycle… as well as individuals diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder.

Then each time fear, confusion, and self-doubt set in, I threw ALL the tools I’ve acquired until they drew back into the shadows.

I know these tools will help you as well.

Adult Children of Narcissists
  • [Article / Case Study] The Narcissistic Mother: One of the Most Frightening of All Personalities - My article on Psych Central

    The purpose of this article is not to explain “how” the narcissistic mother came to be but to help validate adult children of narcissistic mothers. You may have found yourself among people from “healthy” families who cannot fathom how a mother can possibly treat her child the way you have been treated, and your experiences inadvertently invalidated.

  • [Book] Will I Ever Be Good Enough?: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers - by Dr. Karyl McBride Ph.D.

    This book provides the expert assistance you need in order to overcome this debilitating history. Drawing on more than two decades of experience as a therapist specializing in women’s health and hundreds of interviews with suffering daughters, Dr. Karyl McBride helps you recognize the widespread effects of this emotional abuse and create an individualized program for self-protection, resolution, and complete recovery.

NPD Knowledge Base
  • [Article / Case Study] The 7 Answers I Desperately Needed After the Narcissistic Discard - My article on Psych Central

    These are the answers I desperately needed after the narcissistic discard before I could even think about healing and moving on.

  • [Book] Psychopath Free: Recovering from Emotionally Abusive Relationships With Narcissists, Sociopaths, and Other Toxic People - by Jackson MacKenzie

    This is the first book I picked up after my narcissistic discard. It's packed with so much information and tips to go from surviving to thriving. I highly recommend it because it provides the validation you need at this point.

    I'd like to note that the abusive behaviors covered in this book will most certainly resonate with those of narcissistic abusers. However, because the title of the book is "Psychopath Free" many survivors mistakenly concluded the abuser in their life is also was a psychopath. In the book, the author clearly states that he uses "Psychopath" as a blanket term for all anti-social personality disorders.

    Besides, whether a narcissist, sociopath, psychopath, or a full-blown jerk, an abuser is an ABUSER regardless of which name they go by.

I'm frequently asked by survivors if, instead of going no contact, they should try and understand the HOWs and WHYs the narcissist in their life became that way... and if they should stick around to give the narcissist the love, compassion, and patience they seem to lack in their lives.⁣
