Pathological mind games. Covert and overt put-downs. Triangulation. Gaslighting. Projection. These are the manipulative tactics survivors of malignant narcissists are unfortunately all too familiar with. As victims of silent crimes where the perpetrators are rarely held accountable, survivors of narcissistic abuse have lived in a war zone of epic proportions, enduring an abuse cycle of love-bombing and devaluation—psychological violence on steroids. From how to heal our addiction to the narcissist to how to recognize a covert narcissist, Shahida Arabi's articles on narcissistic abuse have gained renown as some of the most accurate and in-depth depictions of this terrifying trauma, resonating with millions of survivors all over the world and receiving endorsements from numerous mental health professionals. In this essay compilation, readers can enjoy some of her most popular articles as well as new thought pieces on narcissistic abuse: what therapists have to say about malignant narcissists and how children of narcissistic parents can become trapped in the trauma repetition cycle. Survivors are offered new insights on what it means to be both a survivor and a thriver of covert manipulation and trauma. POWER teaches us that it is important to not only understand the tactics of toxic personalities but also to recognize and combat the effects of narcissistic abuse; it guides the survivor to learning, growing, healing and most importantly of all—owning their agency to rebuild their lives and transform their powerlessness into victory.

The book you won’t regret buying

Reviewed in Australia on 5 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Shahida is probably the best author on this topic of narcissists.

I had the misfortune to be with a covert narcissistic psychopath who made my life a nightmare of indescribable pain. Her books helped me to begin to understand what I was dealing with.

If you only buy this book you’ll be in front.

A wake up call for modern times!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I am so glad i came across this book it was a real kick in the teeth for me to wake up to something which has troubled me for as long as i could remember...
You know the feeling when you know something is wrong but you cannot quite put your finger on it and start blaming yourself for lack of an alternative?
This will put it all in perspective and call out a hidden epidemic of abuse..
Modern life is saturated with this kind of malaise and yet on the outside it seems as if nothing is wrong...Well this book brings well needed clarity and yes rage to the situation. Pure passionate rage much needed and long overdue against an injustice so widespread and malignant that anger is the only thing which will bring it out into full view out from its dark hiding places and into the air where we can breath again and heal old chronic wounds and gather courage to voice our oppression and give solace to others who are trapped in suffering. The author is the bravest most inspiring person i have come across and she is very much needed..read it and wake up and reclaim your lost power..

Excellent book written by someone who knows and understands!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I came across this author on YouTube whilst looking into narcissism. She made so much sense I bought a couple of her books. POWER is the one I read first and it is the first time that I felt she was writing about my own experiences. I am relatively new to the world of narcissism having come across it during counselling. I am still coming to terms with the fact I have a narcissistic parent but my experience fits so well with the book I can no longer deny it. I am still coming to terms with it and reading as much as I can. Shahida Arabi is the most relevant person in the know that I have come across - so much so I passed my POWER book on to my counsellor to read. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to understand this issue and to start regaining control of your life, as I am.

I understand this book is enrolled in the Kindle Matchbook Program but I cannot find how to download my free e-book copy on this books Amazon page. I have kept the overall rating as 5 stars as I see this as being an Amazon issue rather than an author issue. Please can Amazon provide information on how I can obtain my free e-book copy?

The only thing that has helped me understand what my cheating, lying, narcissistic ex is all about. And the games he has played and continued to play with me. A wonderful book. It has helped me to begin to heal from over a decade of torment and abuse.
