About this listen

Pathological mind games. Covert and overt put-downs. Triangulation. Gaslighting. Projection. These are the manipulative tactics survivors of malignant narcissists are unfortunately all too familiar with. As victims of silent crimes where the perpetrators are rarely held accountable, survivors of narcissistic abuse have lived in a war zone of epic proportions, enduring an abuse cycle of love-bombing and devaluation - psychological violence on steroids. From how to heal our addiction to the narcissist to how to recognize a covert narcissist, Shahida Arabi's articles on narcissistic abuse have gained renown as some of the most accurate and in-depth depictions of this terrifying trauma, resonating with millions of survivors all over the world and receiving endorsements from numerous mental health professionals. In this essay compilation, listeners can enjoy some of her most popular articles as well as new thought pieces on narcissistic abuse: what therapists have to say about malignant narcissists and how children of narcissistic parents can become trapped in the trauma repetition cycle. Survivors are offered new insights on what it means to be both a survivor and a thriver of covert manipulation and trauma. Power teaches us that it is important to not only understand the tactics of toxic personalities but also to recognize and combat the effects of narcissistic abuse; it guides the survivor to learning, growing, healing and most importantly of all - owning their agency to rebuild their lives and transform their powerlessness into victory.

Cannot recommend this book enough - it was the single most instrumental tool for my recovery!

Listening to this book was like listening to the last 7 years of my life unfold with one narcissist relationship that nearly ruined me and another I didn’t even know I had leeching all my energy. It was so informative about crazy making, smear campaigns, hoovering, the aftermath of social isolation, recovery from the trauma and mind games of a narcissist… all practical and completely accurate. I feel more empowered after listening to the book and I hope others who have been in these types of situations also listen, family members need to hear it as well as close friends. It’s so hard to explain what you have been through to others and this clearly lays it all out. Thank you again for your insight and research.

Very Helpful

This author knows her stuff and presents it very clearly. Courageous and intelligent.
Very much a reflection of our times and what I bump into daily at work. Young, often make, entitled, “on the grab” people.

Intelligent and very much to the point

I had know idea the extent of the abuse I endured over the last 20 years until my psychologist highly recommended I read this book. Since reading it my mind is absolutely blown as it detailed what I went through with such clarity and uncanny parallel. So grateful for both my psychologist and Shahida Arabi as I have now woken up to the reality of my situation.

blown away
