Looking for articles about narcissism, addictions, and abuse that you'll find informative? I suspect you are or you wouldn't be at this website. And you undoubtedly need some self-help articles likes these because if you are indded living with someone who exhibits pathological levels of narcissism--or work with one, perhaps--you are dealing with a challenging situation. But then,the individual suffers from a mental disorder. His or her behavior falls outside the range of normal--of what you would expect to find in most people. Of course, the most challenging will be the individual with what can be diagnosed as actual Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. Perhaps your partner or boss does not fit into that category, but merely could be described as exhibiting a patholgical as opposed to a healthy level of narcissism--since most people do exhibit some narcissism. Nonetheless, he or she might be narcissistic enough that this still is challenging--the person's behaviors impact you considerably in negative ways.

If you are in such a situation, what you learn here at Narcissism, Addictions, and Abuse may prove helpful for dealing with that relationship. Again, when you are in some form of a realtionhip with someone who suffers from unhealthy levels of narcissism--full-fledged Narcissistic Personality Disorder or not--you can't help but be affected. Sometimes, the repurcussions on you can be quite extreme while the narcissist remains totally oblivious to your plight. Surprised by this? You shouldn't be. The narcissistic lack empathy.

Perhaps you are here checking out articles on narcissism, addictons, and abuse because the emotional pain level in your relationship or marriage has grown almost unbearable. If so, let me commend you for taking this step. It is always healthy to face up to what you are dealing with--even if doing so is tough. Remember, knowledge is empowering. And, quite frankly, you likely need a good boost of self-empowerment right now because narcissists have a way of draining it from you--perhaps without you realizing what has been happening until you feel you have no personal power whatsoever.

That said, let's get you started on reading articles on narcissism, addicrions, and abuse. You will find links to the left for actual articles--though their titles are abreviated. I am in the process of rebuilding this website from the one that has been out there for over two years now. For months, it was not been accesssible because is had been hacked and I didn't have the time to worry about it--I was too busy writing a self-help book. Anyway, since it needed repair, it seemed a good time to change it up.

Right now, I have my self-help book, "The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Relationship," to promote. In fact, you might want to check it out at the link below--it might prove beneficial to a family member or a friend if not for yourself. Now, back to the articles. Currently, you're going to find articles that deal with narcissism and the abusive ways of the mariccissist. However, I intend to keep adding article on addictions and other topics auch as codependency. So pleasse, keep checking back to find additional articles on narcissism, adddictions, abuse, and related topics. Consider this site a work in progress, in other words.

Now, here's wishing you happy and productive reading!
