How do you know if you are with a narcissist? What are the traits of a narcissist? Can a narcissist change for love?

Relating with people, even those whom you have spent all your life with, may be difficult and outright frustrating. When the person is a loved and trusted person, it is possible that you will find yourself roped in a situation that you may not be able to figure out by yourself. When this happens, you will be left to wonder whether it is you who is really the problem or there is really something wrong with the other person.

The narcissist personality disorder, being a mental disorder that affects the mental health and well-being of a person, has adverse effects to both the patient and the victim.

Detecting Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Although this disorder is one that affects the mental health of a person, those who suffer from it will not come out to tell the world that they are narcissists. They will find it easier to deny their condition rather than accepting it. In the same light, the victims of a narcissist will rather blame themselves for everything that goes wrong between them and the narcissistic person. They will do this instead of looking critically into the narcissist's condition and finding help in the appropriate places.

The first step to getting help for narcissism, however, is the acceptance of the fact that there is a problem. This book also suggests ways of accepting the fact that the person is a narcissist as well as ways to get therapy even if the disorder seems to have eaten deep into the person.

Getting over the Narcissistic Abuse Trauma

After surviving the narcissistic abuse, you may find it challenging to get yourself back on track to relate with people like you should. The aftermath of the narcissistic abuse may be very traumatizing, and what's worse? It may lead to depression and other mental health issues for the victim. Not to worry, though. Even if you may have been through a lot in the hands of the narcissist, you don't have to continue to wallow in the pool of sadness, low self-esteem, and rejection that you were subjected to.

Your best chance of living a better life is to seek therapy. Reading this book takes you through the journey to recovery as well as ways to handle other narcissists that you may come across later in life.
