A must read

This book is one of the most important books I have read. It’s insights into behaviours and the profoundly damaging effects that another person can inflict on someone who internalises it all over time is both refreshing, enlightening, and almost most importantly such a massive relief that there is someone out there that actually understands the additional damage and feeling of helplessness caused by a lack of understanding by support networks and professionals when help is sought. This is a profoundly important piece of work. To Dr Hawkins... my most sincere and grateful thanks from not just myself, but from so many others who I know will find comfort and healing from it.

Excellent advice for living with a narcissistic pe

This was so enlightening. It helped me recognise the man I was living with and the personality traits which had confused and threatened me for 5 years. I am addressing this and standing up for myself thanks to this understanding. I am finding a way to express the impact his behaviour has had on me and am hopeful that he might understand which will allow us to resolve this over time. Really worth listening to.

Christianity driven but still rings true

All worthy chapters that require paying close attention to, highly recommended for narcissistic abuse victims.

Worst book ever

So boring & dumb , don’t bother .. I’d rather staple my eyelids shut than listen to this , it would be less painful

Applicable to everyone

I was apprehensive because of the gendered title. However after listening to the whole book and not letting the bias deter me, I feel I’ve gained a lot of insight into what it means to have a healthy, happy and full outlook on relationships and setting boundaries. Even though I wouldn’t consider myself Christian either the scripture references really resonated with me still. All in all a great book to read if you are a NPD sufferer or are dating someone who is NPD.

To much preaching

look, I'm ok with Christian references now and then but you should have a disclaimer on purchasing if it is going to have as many as this book does. I stopped listening chapter one and deleted from my device. far too many Bible references for me 🤦‍♀️

Great book about narcissistic and emotional abuse

If you’re looking for a book that provides biblically advice as well as what to do when you’re in emotionally abusive relationship. This is the book for you.

Bible references

Too many biblical references for my liking. I am Not Christian. Should be disclosed upon purchasing

When loving him is hurting you

Good for any woman in a abusive relationship, not sure why it's only for women. I usually don't take well to religious references but I am spiritual & found the references to Christianity & Church practical & accurate, criticising the abuse that happens in the name of religion. I recommend this.

life changing..heart feeling ..life saver..

no words to describe the tools it gave me
better than years of on and off counseling..this book knows what other clinicians dont
