Dealing with a narcissist isn't easy. In fact, you feel as if you are playing a constant game of chess where you must be one play ahead of them in order to successfully counteract their next strategy. You are like the guard dog that is constantly alert and looking out for the signs of potential trouble and conflict.
It's exhausting. But how am I qualified to describe it as I have above? Well, I like to see it as having been my good fortune, please note the hint of sarcasm here, to have encountered two narcissists in my life. Yes, two of them.
My name is Barry Gray. In this book, I have partnered up with Daryl Seldon, Counselling Psychologist, to give you two perspectives on how to disarm a narcissist.
The first perspective is mine and it comes from personal experience. I want to stress how narcissists can appear to be completely different, even though common wisdom has it that all narcissists are the same. Understanding this is key to being able to disarm them.
I will then hand it over to Daryl who will approach the task of disarming a narcissist from a clinical perspective. He will take you through the mental process you will need to be able to face any narcissist in your life and handle them with ease.
This is the first book of a series in narcissism. The authors' aim is to make you narcissism-proof so that you not only become immune to the attacks of the egotists but you can also attack back in case you ever wish to.
