Verdeckter Narzissmus in Beziehungen - Das Arbeitsbuch

The practical book with concrete exercises to free oneself from a toxic relationship – for all those affected.

Diploma psychologist Turid Müller has uncovered the behavioral patterns of toxic partnerships in her book "Covert Narcissism in Relationships" and outlined the path to healing from emotional abuse. However, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough to change attitudes and behavior. This practical book, with specific solutions, aims to help all those affected break free from harmful relationships: 10 typical arguments for staying are examined and transformed into arguments for leaving. Step by step, we can apply these to our own relationship, gain clarity, and take action – through empathetic thought prompts, self-observation guidelines, paper-and-pencil exercises, encouraging impulses, body journeys, and creativity techniques.

10 typical arguments for staying are transformed into arguments for leaving:

1. … what if it’s just couple problems? Recognize and break patterns.

2. … what if I’m exaggerating? Make your gut feeling your compass again.

3. … what if others are right? Slow down gaslighting, enablers, and flying monkeys.

4. … what if it is true love? From cognitive dissonance to clarity.

5. … what if it would be wrong to leave? Cognitive errors of hope. Turn adhesives into solvents.

6. … what if it’s my fault? Get out of the blame trap!

7. … what if I never find someone like this again? Spell check for belief systems.

8. … what if circumstances force me to stay? Children, money, and more – organization is everything!

9. … what if it’s not narcissism? Better an end with horror.
