I feel so lost and broken-where do I even start? This book is for you! Praise for If Only I\'d Known! Chelsey is able to describe exactly what I went through and what others have endured in a concise way.
Narcissistic abuse is a multilayered attack on your sense of self-a dismantling of who you are and what you believe you\'re worth.
You think no one else understands.
You think they\'ll grow out of it.
You think you need to change or get better.
You think there\'s something wrong with you.
And because these changes are happening to you-you begin to wonder: What\'s wrong with me? Why can\'t I make this relationship work? Am I fundamentally broken? And that\'s exactly how narcissistic abuse works-it happens so subtly that you believe the insecurities you\'re experiencing are you instead of what\'s happening to you.
You feel frazzled, foggy, and flawed.
You have trouble thinking clearly, remembering things, or taking in new information.
In relationships, have you ever found yourself: Feeling like something is off, but not being able to explain why? Leaving conversations feeling more confused than when you started them? Mentally rehearsing the best way to bring something up so your partner won\'t get mad? Constantly ruminating on how to make sense of what you feel and what\'s happening? Trying every communication strategy, but nothing seems to work? Feeling not enough no matter how hard you try? Narcissistic abuse creates a tidal wave of confusion, hypervigilance, and overthinking.
