Defeating the Giant (PDF)

By Nunnery Defeating the Giant: A Guide to Recognizing and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse addresses the reality that anyone, at any time, can be impacted by someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Whether family, friends, co-workers, supervisor, or other community circles—someone with NPD can appear and wreak havoc seemingly without warning. Those impacted can internalize the experience, resulting in feelings of fear, doubt, shame, depression, and a loss of identity. Readers will get a glimpse into the author’s personal experience then explore the formal diagnosis and characteristics of an NPD abuser. To defeat and begin healing from the narcissistic giant, the reader is guided through specific skills that infuse practice to not only help assess and understand their experiences, but begin to reclaim their identity and future decisions. The chapters address attachment; the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; identification of one’s strengths to effectively communicate, maintain boundaries, make choices, and have healthier relationships. Readers will learn how to understand the NPD giant, reclaim their power with specific tools, and eventually defeat the giant’s hold.
