Expert and survivor Julie Hall takes an in-depth look at causes and symptoms, as well as defining traits and behaviours. She dispels misconceptions about narcissism and provides real-life examples from experts, clinicians, and survivors, addressing issues such as:

- Recognising abuse and manipulation

- Handling specific behaviours 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.
