Unmasking the Paradox of Narcissism
They captivate us with their charm, their confidence casting an alluring spell. Yet behind the grandiose facade lies a troubling paradox—the narcissist's tormented relationship with their reflection. In this groundbreaking book, Narcissism - The Face in the Mirror, the author unveils the psychological labyrinth of one of humanity's most insidious conditions.
With surgical precision, this book dissects the psychological structures and motivations underlying narcissism. It exposes the very human fragilities that compel the narcissist's incessant need for validation and their profound fear of the ordinary. This profound psychological examination leaves no stone unturned, tracing the labyrinthine roots of narcissistic self-obsession while illuminating its multifarious manifestations through an incisive yet nuanced lens.
Whether you are struggling to escape the narcissist's grip, healing from past trauma, or simply seeking to understand this enigmatic condition, Narcissism - The Face in the Mirror is an indispensable guide. Bravely explore the depths of this paradoxical disorder, and emerge empowered with strategies for protection, healing, and reclaiming your authentic self.
Courageous, richly insightful, and ultimately redemptive, this book is a must-read for anyone impacted by the tendrils of narcissistic abuse. Prepare to be transformed as you stare into the haunting reflection and finally see narcissism for what it truly is.
Brian Maram
At forty-six, the author survived a life-changing, near-fatal haemorrhagic stroke to the Pons area of his Brainstem. The devastation left behind in its wake of destruction was inconceivable. At the time of his stroke, in 2011, Brian and his family felt isolated, as there were no easy reference books to turn to for help and they had no one to confide in. This was all foreign to them, as they had never been exposed to stroke before. With nobody to consult, the family was not prepared for the emotional turmoil that was to follow. After a rollercoaster encounter, and scraping shoulders with death. His life turned upside down and to the medical paternity, he was now known as a young stroke survivor. After a brief time, Brian found himself abandoned and alone, forcing him to face the mammoth task of recovering by himself.
