A guidebook that helps people navigate the things the NARCISSIST says to others. The common phrases they say, the things said that unsettle others, put others on the defensive, that push others into fear, obligation, and guilt.
Some things said that raise red flags to most people, but turn the unsuspecting into jelly.
Some lies and omissions can be dangerous. Is there a guidebook so that all relationships with a narcissist do not have to go "No Contact?".
Disclaimer:
Just because a person says these things, does not make them a narcissist.
What has been said to you? What are some red-flagged conversations you have had?
I have ordered the book, it will be delivered Friday.
Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-AbsorbedJul 1, 2013

It is a process, a steep learning curve maybe. I cannot recommend the book I ordered, but maybe CMagnum's book will help others.
Reading back.....Barb, now I am laughing at myself.....don't think that I can be a "tough as nails" type of person, but that sounded good at the time I wrote it.
It is really not my job to be so alert at all times that I would even be able to effect behavior modification on an adult, my husband. Being hypervigilant is just another way to make myself crazy.
I need to relax! Lighten up. Get a life. That is for sure.
