I enjoyed this read. God saved me from an extremely abusive and destructive relationship with a family member 6 months ago and even as someone who’s been abused and neglected all of my life, never in all 30 of my years had I experienced anything like what I just came out of. I couldn’t accurately define what was happening to me, but my spirit knew that it wasn’t good. Books like this one, gave me the right words to identify and call it what it was and realize more than anything that I wasn’t and am not crazy. And because of that, I can now heal, grow in understating and also hopefully help others down the line. Went for 4 stars instead of 5 because I expected this book to focus more on relationships in general, but it was heavily focused on romantic relationships which I feel wasn’t accurately depicted in the description (which was pretty general).

This book guided me through life with and without a psychopath. It felt like the author wrote this book for me about my experience. I would recommend it for anyone trying to get away from this mindf*** controller.

Love this book it has helped me to heal… with this book I discovered how to love myself and others. To put myself first and finally tell people what is that I really want…

Very good.

Wide eye opening and actually incredibly descriptive (described my childhood in one paragraph). Finally, also affirmative about proper psychological traits such as compassion.

Finally! Someone who understands….I will definitely read this over and over for continued help in my relationships.

Changed my life…. A “must read” for anyone affected by abuse from a narcissist, psychopath!

I was up till 4 am, and nearly threw this book across my room in revelation as each chapter methodically explained what happened to me. I luckily have been toward the end of my healing with my narcissistic break up, but still found it hard to move on; why am I still sitting here stagnant, a year later, while everyone else has moved on? What’s wrong with me? The last chapters gave me the exact answers. Thank you so much for publishing this content, Jackson. To those reading this review, please share this content with not only fellow abuse victims, but with the young women you know entering their first romantic attempts and attachments.

A lot of self awareness, wisdom, knowledge, a guide to help victims survivor, healthy boundaries; self respect.

This book helped me heal in ways I cannot explain. I’m still so heartbroken but only time will tell. But this book is definitely a stepping stone that I’m so happy I found.
