Review Quotes:
"I have been interested in this topic since about 5 year ago because of what mental health is doing in current society. I can say this book is a great tool to understand how this modern illness works from a sociological and phycological perspective. People who experience narcissistic relationships become very defensive, and question themself continuously. This book helps a lot to understand why, the process and how to cope with it."

"About 1 year ago I was in a relationship with a complete gaslighting narcissist sick bastard. I had to take several rounds of private therapy to help me cope with the emotional damage that he left me with. This book really helped me to identify the red flags in any relationship that I have with a person. It helped me truly see how controlling and manipulative he was. He would always take his own insecurities and project it onto me to put me down. This book helped me really decipher the difference between a codependent and narcissistic person. I loved chapter 2 where it goes into detail about the role of abuse that one has experienced from previous relationships or family upbringing which ultimately plays a huge role in your adult behavior and dealing with confrontation. I realized how important it was to have an accountability partner. How to properly identify red, yellow and green flags despite having relationship trauma in the past. Overall it's a very informative short book that will definitely help you heal from previous relationship trauma in a healthy manner and be ready to date again."

"Dealing with a narcissistic person, or even finding narcissistic tendencies in yourself, is very difficult to deal with. Narcissistic Abuse and Codependency Recovery is a great tool that really delves into narcissistic behavior, how to spot it and how to overcome it. After being in a narcissistic relationship for almost a decade, I found myself mimicking some of the same habits that I had hated so deeply so this book really hit home for me. It is hard to pick apart narcissism because it is so hurtful and can be so persistent that it can oddly become reality. The book is very easy to read, gives great examples and well thought out solutions. I definitely recommend you read Narcissistic Abuse and Codependency Recovery if you need help and information on how to recover from narcissistic and codependent relationships."
-M. Fernandez
"This is a great self help book for beginner to average readers about facing your issues with codependancy and narcissistic behaviors. This book leaves nothing behind: it defines each term and other related terms discussed, talks about past with abuse and some steps reccommended to overcome these behaviors. I found the real world examples most helpful in tying ideas together. I am recommending this book to family members and interested in following some of the book's recommendations."
