DEDICATION I dedicate this book to the millions of people who have unknowingly been enmeshed in a narcissist’s web. To those who—like me—spent most of their lives in a chronic state of confusion and debilitating low self-worth. To the voiceless who were manipulated to believe there’s something “wrong” with them. Those who have been on an endless goose chase looking for solutions, all the while not realising that the cause of their misery was hidden in plain sight. I dedicate this book (and the books to come!) to the men and women who are still trying to make sense of the devastation that one relationship—or one person—inflicted on their entire life. It’s my inspiration to help you find words for your experience, because healing begins once
