Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

William Avers takes us on an honest and revealing journey that will help us understand trauma bonding and its multiple faces, from unhealthy attachment to the normalization of the abuse to the concealment and later denial of the truth. William Avers explores the human condition without prejudice or bias because traumatic bonds may occur to anyone. Contrary to most people’s belief that abusers prey on the weak and foolish, abusers also prey on capable and attractive people because they seek the challenge too.

If you are feeling this way, my friend, there is a simple explanation. You may be dating or married to a narcissist. Your self-absorbed partner may be gaslighting and manipulating you. He may cycle between love-bombing and distancing himself from you. He seems to be a nice guy to your face sometimes, but then you find out that he is talking bad about you to others. He seems to triangulate you with other women or family members in order to make you jealous and boost his own ego.

READ THIS BOOK!

Publisher's Summary
"If your relationship is so bad, why don't you just leave them?"
"If you were in such an abusive relationship, why did you stay with them for so long?"
"If you knew you were in a relationship with such a toxic person, why didn't you ask people for help?"
If you've ever been asked these questions, aside from being ignorant and hurtful, you'll know it's beyond frustrating. The answer to the above questions, whilst it's complex and often confusing, can be given with two words: trauma bonded. If you find you're in a relationship that you know is so toxic that it's crushing your very being, but you can't bring yourself to leave, you may be in the clutches of a tight trauma bond.
If you're constantly feeling on edge, forever working to appease your spouse to little avail and feel like you're constantly being chipped away at with their abusive behavior, then I can understand how emotionally shattering it feels to live this way.
If, in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can't imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too - because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.
From my own personal experience and from the experiences other survivors have opened up to me about, this book will cover the following:
- What trauma bonding really is
- The seven stages that lead to you becoming trauma bonded
- The parallels that Stockholm syndrome has with trauma bonding
- The five stages you go through when you come to accept you're trauma bonded - the cognitive dissonance a trauma bond can cause
- Breaking free from the traumatic bond
This book will also include my own experiences and I'll draw upon those to help you really understand trauma bonding, and let you know that you're not alone in being shackled by this emotionally crippling bond. More importantly, this book will help you understand that the invisible chain that tethers you to your abuser can be broken.

Knowledge is Power
I found this to be a very helpful book!
It was full of great information, and helped to remind me of some things that I had already learned, but needed a little reminder.
I find it very helpful to go back and refresh my knowledge, when I'm feeling sucked back in!
I have been in a Relationship with my Childrens father for 23 years, and this last year it quite literally almost took my life! I came to understand that I am EXTREMELY trauma bonded with him, and am trying my best to understand it, and fight it. I can't afford Therapy, so I try to educate myself the best I can.
With this book being quite short, it is perfect for me to be able to re-listen to when I feel myself slipping back in the pits.
Sending out Good Vibes, and Strenght to anyone having to read this book.

Nailed it... And it's still a hard topic to hear.
Great job navigating the whys of an abusive relationship. Validates the victim and provides real understanding as to why people return to the abuse. Could have had more resources for the recovery, as it can take years, but can be summed up as lots of deliberate changes to relearn what healthy is. Really insightful and recommended for anyone interested in the practical psychology of trauma bonding.
