A greedy back-biting wicked person will always perish in the process of causing harm to others. Doesn't the moth get burnt in the over-ambitious attempt to swallow up the flame? Vishvagunadarsha

Find Your Way Out of the Narcissist's Web and Be Free Once Again!

Narcissistic Personality DisorderYou’ve no doubt found yourself here at this Website today because you have either been involved with someone who might have narcissistic personality disorder or you love someone whose life has been deeply affected by narcissism or the third option is you are just curious about the life of a narcissist.

I am so thankful and grateful for your guidance and support this past year. I read your e-mails, websites, group forums and listen to your webcasts. I have learned so much about myself and the "dreaded" narcissist I was involved with. Although it started out as the most painful year I have experienced, it is ending as one of the best year's of my life. Without my strength of self, courage and the knowledge I have received, I could not have moved forward. I am proud of my accomplishments and I am thriving! My narcissist no longer has any hold on me and I am a very happy and content woman. This will be the fourth season without contact with him and no dating to allow myself the time for healing and reflection. I look forward to the new year with much hope and anticipation. Thank you for being you and for all that you give to those who have been hit with the pain and suffering of narcissism. Best wishes for a fabulous and prosperous 2009! L.F.

My name is Kaleah and like many I have gone through the pain of having my life turned inside out as the result of narcissistic abuse. I know how it feels to reach the lowest lows and have to struggle to get my life back. I know how it feels to be so drained emotionally and physically that I can’t work or be productive in any way.

At my lowest point I couldn’t eat or sleep. I couldn’t go to work or socialize with people. My friends and family couldn’t understand the depth of the pain I was in and thought I should just “snap out of it” or “get over it!”

I would have loved to be able to just “get over it!” But this was one of the most difficult challenges life had brought my way. Even the doctors and psychologists couldn’t help me other than to give me medication to help me “cope.” I went on anti-depressants on the recommendation of a therapist who thought it would help me to eat and sleep.

narcissistIt wasn’t until one of my few friends I had left referred me to a psychiatrist who believed I had been in a relationship with a narcissist, that my desolate world began to have meaning. I could finally at least understand why I was feeling the way I was. I finally had somewhere to go with this. I finally understood that I was not crazy as I had come to believe I was!

Life got better after seeing this psychiatrist. The pain didn’t end, but now I at least knew where it was coming from. I immersed myself in the study of narcissism, joined an Online support group and made it my mission not only to understand this strange disorder that left me feeling as if I had been raped on a soul level.

My study led me into another long-term narcissistic relationship and finally to a complete recovery nearly five years later. My recovery wasn’t complete however, until I had taken what I learned about narcissism and shared it with others who were going through the same thing I went through.

recovery from narcissistic abuseIn March of 2007 I released my first E-book Spiritual Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse” where I share with others not only my story but the methods I used to release myself from the chains of narcissism.

In the Fall of 2007, I released my second E-book “Narcissism, The Web of Illusion” where I share my knowledge and experience with narcissism and explore the concepts of energy vampires and evil as it pertains to narcissism.

I wouldn’t have written either book if I didn’t feel a nagging sense that this work had to be completed. I felt a deep inner guidance that told me I took this journey not only so I could become stronger but so that I could help others become empowered after the deep soul rape of narcissistic abuse.

I already had a background in counseling/hypnotherapy and spirituality. I had worked for years in my own practice helping people embrace the personal growth path they found themselves on, whether it be struggling with addiction, food, eating disorders, illness, relationship issues, abuse or something else.

It seemed all my life experience had led me to this place where I was to help those who found themselves completely lost as a result of narcissistic abuse.

Recovering from narcissistic abuse is a journey. It is a path back to the self. Those who have been abused by narcissism have slowly lost themselves. They have given pieces of themselves away bit by bit until there was nothing left to give.

It is usually at the moment of ones greatest sense of depletion that the victim experiences the horrible devaluation and discarding by the narcissist in their lives. Having nothing left to give, equals, no more energetic supply for the narcissist. The victim, at this point, becomes “worthless” to the narcissist and is cast aside in favor of a fresh new source of energy.

Most victims, which I chose to call “survivors,” or "thrivers" find themselves at their all time lowest lows once the relationship ends unless, of course, it is a family member who is the narcissist. Then it just seems to continue on out of some sense of familial obligation.

You would think that when the relationship officially ends, would be a time where victims can get their energy back and get on with their lives. But it never quite looks like this.

Instead one ends up feeling as if she has been kicked almost to the point of death and left to die in her own pool of blood while the one who has kicked her goes off to live happily ever after with someone who is young, beautiful and full of life.

counseling for narcissistic abuseAs survivors we struggle to stay alive and although we know the narcissist is NOT good for us, we become obsessed with him. He becomes our link to life and to our sanity. We somehow believe he holds the answers, the key to our survival. We look to he, who has nearly taken our life to give us back our life. We know on some unconscious level that he has something we need. That something is our very soul.

The path back to self involves reclaiming what was lost. It means taking back the power and the energy that has been extracted through narcissistic abuse. It means educating ourselves on narcissism and how we can break free of the psychic bonds that tie us to our abuser.

If you are on this path, this Website is for you. It is a place for you to come, recharge your battery, and learn what you need to know to break free.

I offer information, books, an Online support group, Counseling services by phone and long distance soul recovery sessions that have proven to be very effective for my clients.

This Website is a growing resource of information to help you in your process of finding your way back to you.

Welcome Home!

You probably receive hundreds of these emails (and rightly so!), but I just wanted to thank you so much for producing this wonderful resource. It’s so well written, put together and extremely accurate and has helped me no end. Needless to say I directly encountered my own psychic vampire relationship, and it was a horrible experience. It was your fantastic web site that allowed me to convert the trauma I endured into a sense of understanding and then recovery.

Thank you so much for what you have done for me and I’m sure countless others. S.

 

The Secret

Inside you there is a secret
You hide it within you so deep
And when I am with you
I feel something missing
I reach for your soul
But it is asleep
And I can't awaken with all of my kissing
I give you my soul and hope you'll be kind
But you take it and break it and leave it behind.
I have gone back for all of those pieces
And gathered them up in my hands
And I went on a journey to heal the deep wounding
And found myself there in the vast desert land
You were my God and you were my King
But Kings can sometimes be cruel
When they see the young maiden dancing in the courtyard
They devour them and use them for fuel
Then off with their heads for they have no further use
He has her blood on his hands
The secret remains forever in hiding
But her spirit still roams on his lands.
Kaleah

'Give me a candle of the Spirit, O God, as I go down into the deeps of my being. Show me the hidden things, the creatures of my dreams, the storehouse of forgotten memories and hurts. Take me down to the spring of my life, and tell me my nature and my name. Give me freedom to grow, so that I may become that self, the seed of which you planted in me at my making. Out of the deeps I cry to you, O God.'
From Prayer At Night by Jim Cotter
