Do you continually feel anxious around someone in your life, but can’t pinpoint why?
Do conversations seem to go off track, leaving you feeling knocked off balance and confused?
Does it feel like they are making your life a living hell, but they insist that you are too sensitive, crazy, or to blame?
Perhaps you know you are being manipulated or abused, but don’t know how to make it stop.
The Narcissist’s Playbook can help. 
Dana Morningstar is a domestic violence advocate, author, podcaster, YouTuber, speaker, and group leader. She writes from personal as well as professional experience in the field of domestic violence awareness and advocacy. 
Some of the topics covered in The Narcissist’s Playbook are:
-What manipulation is and isn’t.
-How to spot manipulative behaviors early (and why most people struggle with this).
-How and why people get caught up with manipulators, and why they have a hard time breaking free.
-How to identify the emotional “hook” that is keeping you stuck in manipulation and what you can do about it.
— How to effectively disable manipulation as it is happening. 
— How to identify the common personality traits that are frequently exploited by manipulators. 
You can take back your life. The Narcissist’s Playbook tells you how.

Quotes

  • Anne Leo Presshas quoted3 years ago
    Consequence: The result of a child having their reality denied is that they don't learn how to correctly interpret the messages their emotions are trying to send. Or, if this kind of invalidation is chronic, the child disconnects from certain emotions, such as hurt, sadness, or anger completely. As this child becomes an adult, they will most likely struggle with uncertainty and indecisiveness because they don't know how they feel or what they like or don't like. They often don't know when they are in emotional or physical pain, and in terms of relationships, they don't know when they are being mistreated, or how to respond if they are. They are quick to assume they are wrong and look to others for validation.

    Minimizing and Invalidating

    Minimizing and invalidating occur when the target's concerns are discounted or denied. This is usually done by blaming the target for being too sensitive, too emotional, unable to take a joke, twisting things around, looking for a fight, making a big deal out of nothing, being crazy, losing their hearing or memory, bringing up everything the target has ever done wrong, or accusing the target of bringing up these issues because the target has major issues with commitment.
