Should I Stay or Should I Go

Surviving in a Relationship with a Narcissist

How can you tell if you are in a relationship with a narcissist – and what can you do about it? Narcissism is a modern epidemic that is spreading rapidly. Narcissists often appear outwardly appealing but are empty on the inside. While they may frequently be successful, they are also controlling, manipulative, entitled, vain, and lack compassion. If your partner can be charismatic and charming one moment and leave you feeling disappointed, anxious, and doubting yourself the next, you might be with a narcissist. This dangerous relationship can slowly ruin your well-being and ultimately your mental health. Sometimes leaving is the healthiest option. But sometimes it doesn’t feel like an option, and you may have strong reasons to stay – for your children, financial security, religious beliefs, or simply because you are in love.

In "Should I Stay or Go?", Dr. Ramani Durvasula provides you with the tools to avoid making the same mistakes again. It shows you what to look out for and offers guidance on how to handle difficult situations. This honest survival guide is based on the real terrain of pathological narcissism and provides a realistic roadmap for navigating this landscape, reclaiming your true self, finding healing, and leading an authentic and self-determined life. Whether you choose to stay or go.
