Narcissists are people who suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and they oftentimes have abusive personalities. Those with NPD are characterized by three distinct characteristics:

They lack or have a severely limited capacity for empathy
They desire to be the center of attention at all time, seeking validation through the admiration of others
They believe they are special, unique, or better than those around them

These three traits come together to create a person that is only interested in serving himself, with no regard for how those around him feel. He does not care how his manipulation impacts other people, so long as he gets the attention and admiration he craves.

Narcissists seek to manipulate other people into giving them what they crave more than anything: Narcissistic supply. The need for narcissistic supply for the narcissist is just as compelling as your need to eat, and the narcissist will stop at nothing to get what he needs, including manipulating or coercing those around him into providing it.

The narcissist does this by routinely destroying people’s self-esteem, making them believe that they must be going crazy through gaslighting, threatening others into submission, triangulating, smear campaigning, and engaging in other manipulative behaviors that seek to benefit the narcissist and the narcissist alone.

Product: Healing from Childhood Abuse: Understanding the Effects, Taking Control to Recover
Description: Written directly to individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, this book provides essential information that allows victims to begin recovering from their immense pain and suffering, and empowers them to examine their specific issues in order to become a true survivor.

The American Medical Association currently estimates at least one in every five adults suffered abuse as a child. While childhood abuse or trauma is certainly not a new issue, it has reached epidemic proportion. Yet most clinicians have not been sufficiently trained to appreciate or understand the devastating long-term impact of abuse on the total person.

John J. Lemoncelli, EdD, authored this book to enable those who suffer in silence to understand what happened, take control, and begin and maintain a program of recovery. It helps those abused in childhood to grasp how their experience impacted their development and the extent to which it negatively affects their present lives; encourages them to let go of the belief that they are damaged, dirty, or at fault; and provides an effective strategy for externalizing the source of their anguish, rather than blaming themselves. The author outlines several stages and common issues that may need to be addressed, but as no "one size fits all" treatment is possible, he provides strategies that empower victims to identify the specific sources of their pain.
