What to do with the narcissist in my life.

A narcissist can make you feel like you're losing your grip on reality. One minute they’re charming, the next, cold or hateful. They gaslight, twist words, demean, and deny truth, leaving you feeling like you’re worth nothing to them, overreacting, or going crazy.

But you’re not crazy. Narcissists thrive on control, and to maintain power, they’ll shift blame, deflect responsibility, and create emotional chaos.

In How to Respond to a Narcissist, Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor Laurel Slade-Waggoner provides an in-depth understanding of narcissism from a biblical framework. How do you stay sane and strong when you’re faced with narcissistic abuse and manipulation? This book provides a God-honoring path to freedom as it explores:

• What the Bible says about clinical narcissism
• The difference between narcissism and selfishness
• What victims experience when in a relationship with a narcissist, including spiritual abuse, coercive control, emotional blackmail, gaslighting, stonewalling, triangulation, chronic indifference, defensive over-reactivity, blame-shifting, and malignant narcissism
• How to invite a narcissist into a plan of change and utilize the redemptive tool of separation
• The difference between authentic repentance and mere regret
• Saying “no” to narcissistic hoovering
• Healing from narcissistic abuse

Life with a narcissist brings heartbreak, frustration, and even hopelessness. How to Respond to a Narcissist shares step-by-step instructions on how to respond to a narcissist’s tactics in an effective way. You don’t have to keep living on edge.
