Millions of people across the globe have unwittingly fallen into The Narcissist Trap. Could it be that you have too?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a real, diagnosable personality adaptation and it's a lot more common than you may realise. A narcissist is not just someone who is vain or selfish - it's much more serious than that.
Narcissism is a global phenomenon, which hides in plain sight. It affects individuals and society alike, and transcends gender, socioeconomic groups and cultures. The 'Great Pretenders' can be the leader of your country, your doctor, your builder, or your refuse collector. Your local policeman or your yoga teacher. Your 'nasty' boss or your 'nice' co-worker. Your hot date. The very people who are supposed to love you the most - your parents, your sibling, your friend - even your 'soulmate'.
And narcissism does not discriminate. It can develop through childhood in anyone who has been brought up in certain difficult ways.
Narcissists are the seemingly 'complicated' people in our lives - the saboteurs who blow hot and cold, confusing us. They use us, guilt trip us and hurt us but, when they disparage us, why do we try even harder to gain their approval?
Could it be that the complicated people you know are not so complicated after all?
Overall, the 'self help movement' has been a wonderful thing - teaching us how to be better, think smarter, evolve - how to ascend to higher levels of awareness and consciousness, even. We are told that we hold all the cards to our life. That we spin the wheel of our fortunes. And if we mess it up, well, that's completely on us. The only thing holding us back is ourselves, we are told.
But what if other people in our lives areat least partiallyto blame for our failures and our disappointments?
Globally renowned narcissism expert, Dr Supriya McKenna, author of the Amazon number one bestseller, Divorcing a Narcissist, the Lure, the Loss and the Law, invites you on a voyage of discovery. In this book she reveals the truth about what goes on around us, every single day, in her trademark easy-to-read style. Through compelling storytelling, she introduces the different types of narcissists who pass below most people's radars - the 'Great Pretenders' - and explains the psychological manipulation tactics they use to pull victims into their orbits, and trap them there. You can discover how narcissistic you are, by taking the Narcissist Test, and you'll learn how to protect yourself from a narcissist's behaviours, how to communicate with them, and if you choose to, how to best escape their orbit, forever.
