Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed

Wendy T. Behary
3.9/5 ( ratings)
What can you do with the narcissistic people in your life? They're frustrating to deal with. But sometimes you genuinely care for one of them. And you might need to interact with others in social or professional settings. Sometimes it doesn't won't work to simply ignore them. You need to find a way of communicating effectively with narcissists, getting your point across and meeting your needs while side-stepping unproductive power struggles and senseless arguments. Disarming the Narcissist offers several strategies for dealing effectively with someone who is at the center of his or her own universe. You'll learn how to move past the narcissist's defenses with compassionate, empathetic communication. You'll learn to understand the worldview and coping styles of narcissists and why, oftentimes, it's sad and lonely to be a narcissist. By anticipating and avoiding certain hot-button issues, you'll discover ways to relate to narcissists without triggering aggression. By validating some common narcissistic concerns, you'll find out how to be heard in conversation with a narcissist. Also covered are strategies for limit-setting and for knowing when to draw the line on unacceptable behavior.
