THE NARCISSIST IN YOUR LIFE

Julie L. Hall

Recognizing the Patterns and Learning to Break Free

This is a practical and empathetic look at how Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) affects not just the millions who have been diagnosed, but also those around them - with strategies and tips for healing.
Millions of people have been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder - and for each one, there are dozens of family members around them who are impacted and overwhelmed by their behavior.

Expert and survivor Julie Hall takes an in-depth look at causes and symptoms, as well as defining traits and behaviors. She dispels misconceptions about narcissism and provides real-life examples from experts, clinicians, and survivors, addressing issues such as:
- Recognizing abuse and manipulation
- Handling specific behaviors such as projecting, shaming, and gaslighting
- Dealing with narcissists online
- Dealing with narcissistic parents and spouses
- Navigating narcissism through caretaking, sibling divisions, and parental alienation

Wise, affirming, and practical, The Narcissist in Your Life is a supportive, compassionate guide to help adult children, partners, siblings, and others with narcissistically abusive family members end the cycle and find healing.

Julia L. Hall is a writer and editor. Her articles, essays, and poems also have appeared in the Huffington Post, The Nation, the Chicago Sun Times, and numerous literary journals. Since its launch in January 2017, Hall's blog, The Narcissist Family Files, has surpassed 1 million views and is growing, moving from an average of about 1,100 daily views in 2017 to its current average of 2,600 daily views.

Brilliant, riveting, and amazingly thorough. I recommend this book to virtually everyone with an interest in narcissistic personality disorder, including psychotherapists.

[P]rovides insight and effective strategies for anyone working to deal with the negative effects of a close relationship with a narcissist. This book will resonate with adult children and partners struggling with the pain and confusion of life in a war zone that is often invisible to outsiders. It is an important addition to the understanding of narcissistic personality disorder, and destined to help many people.

Living with a narcissist, writes Hall, violates our fundamental rights of dignity, integrity, and personal freedoms, made worse because the narcissist is usually someone close to the abused. All libraries, in particular university collections supporting mental health and psychiatry curriculum, will find this a worthy addition.

Written from the heart, Julie Hall's book is a treasure trove of knowledge and healing. Every page is filled with warmth and compassion, teaching the reader how to find solutions within.

[A] resource that provides a desperately needed lifeline with clearly outlined steps for what to do next so you can reclaim your life. A nationally recognized expert on NPD, she writes with a rare combination of lived insight, sound research, keen psychological understanding, and lucid style. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
