You Are Not Crazy: How To Identify A Narcissist and Recover From Narcissistic Abuse

Are you walking on eggshells in your current relationships? Do you find yourself doubting your own reality? Do you feel like no matter what you do, you will never satisfy your partner? Do you feel isolated and misunderstood?

If so, you may be in a relationship with someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and experiencing narcissistic abuse. You are not alone. In You Are Not Crazy, author and educator Bren Worthington takes us on a journey into recovery from narcissistic abuse. She gives an overview of how confusing and traumatizing a relationship with a narcissist is, including types of abuse and strategies for decoupling. She offers inspiring tools for self-discovery, self-care, and recovery.

You Are Not Crazy includes Bren’s personal story of growing up with a narcissistic family member and escaping abusive narcissistic partners. A reflective section, introduces key concepts (many original) and journaling prompts that provide a framework for recovery. Finally, a glossary of terms puts words—often with light-hearted humor—to the unfathomable experiences of narcissistic abuse and the gratifying work of recovery.

Bren emphasizes the universality of NPD abuse and how important it is to treat yourself with compassion as you make and execute an escape and recovery plan. As she notes: “A step into fear is the first step along the path of growth and maturation.”
