Narcissistic Abuse Everything You Need to Know A Road Map to Healing and Thriving

Everything You Need to Know About Narcissistic Abuse is intended to be a helpful guide for anyone who suspects they might be in a relationship with a narcissist or have narcissistic family members. Psychological abuse can be extremely confusing.

This book explains variations of manipulation and breaks each down into easy-to-understand lessons. The goal is to restore peace of mind, clarify what has happened, and boost confidence moving forward. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is rarely diagnosed because the narcissist is in denial and refuses to seek help. This does not mean that they do not have highly narcissistic traits. It has become an epidemic, and both men and women have experienced this abuse.

Libby's goal is to help victims of narcissistic abuse, their peers and family, and other mental health professionals understand the damaging effects of narcissistic abuse as well as how to safely break free from the hold of trauma bond and live the empowered life they deserve. She understands the topic thoroughly after being in two narcissistic relationships and experiencing not only mental anguish but also physical repercussions. Her goal is to awaken, inspire, and empower you to live your best life.

Dr. Mehmet Yildez,

I am honored to have been a beta reader for Everything You Need to Know About Narcissistic Abuse by
Libby Shively McAvoy.

As someone with a deep interest in mental health, I found this well-crafted and insightful book incredibly resonant.
Libby offers a profound exploration of narcissistic abuse, guiding readers through the terms and tactics-like gaslighting, stonewalling, projection, and trauma bonds-that often characterize these toxic relationships. With each chapter, readers gain a clearer understanding of how manipulation, disguised as affection, can cloud judgment and isolate them from their true sense of self.
This book goes beyond simply identifying the traits of narcissistic behavior. It empowers readers with the tools to recognize red flags and break free from abusive patterns. For anyone questioning their reality, feeling "crazy," or wondering if they are the problem, Everything You Need to Know About Narcissistic Abuse offers both the wisdom and encouragement to reclaim a life of peace, self-respect, and well-being.

Written from the heart, Libby's words resonate deeply and provide invaluable insights for anyone affected by this form of abuse. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in understanding the effects of narcissism and toxic relationships in our mental health.
