Knowing the Narcissist : Chained
Are you or is somebody you know chained to the narcissist?
Are you a co-dependent? What does this mean?
How did you become this way? How does the narcissist know what you are?
How does the narcissist exploit this condition and how might you escape him?
These questions and more are posed and answered in this fascinating book. Delivered direct from the dark-hearted master, the narcissist provides his unique observations on those who are co-dependent and find themselves chained to the narcissist.
I liked this book, it helped me understand myself better, why I do what I do and feel about myself the way I do. Most eye opening book I ever read, next to FUEL, another great book by HG. Xx
Rebecca,
I think it’s valuable that this book resonated with you. If someone had co-dependent patterns and didn’t see themselves in the descriptions the book provides I’d think there’d be less chance they’d be able to make changes to their decision-making or the relationships they gravitated towards.
What did you recognise specifically – and this could be in intimate partnerships or in more general relationships with others – with friends, acquaintances or colleagues. I believe we show our schools and cadres in all our relationships with others even if (like anything) an emotional situation can over-charge our reactions. I know my schools and cadres are with me all the time – on this blog, at work, riding a train, crossing a crowded street, in a movie theatre, at a friend’s house or in an intimate relationship. For me it’s partly about controlling that environment as much as I can so my schools/cadres don’t bump up against it so much.
Do you see co-dependent behaviours happening in several areas of your life – in different types of relationships or interactions?
