“If you’re a quiet overthinker with a kind heart who struggles to set healthy boundaries, then you can be taken advantage of by a narcissist. Your caring heart and willingness to see the good in people are gifts that need protection. To protect yourself from toxic people, you need to do two things: educate yourself on narcissists, and set authentic, sustainable boundaries. And that’s exactly what Chelsey teaches you to do. Any introvert who’s experienced narcissistic abuse or toxic relationships needs to read this book.”
– Matthew Pollard, bestselling author of The Introvert’s Edge series
“Chelsey, in her extremely important work as a psychotherapist, is able to describe exactly what I went through and what others have endured in a concise way. It is so important for mental health professionals to shine a light on this insidious form of domestic violence so that our clients, readers and followers can get the validation and support that they so desperately need. She is an advocate for trauma survivors and her writing will help so many people to become empowered and heal.”

What Readers are saying!
Chelsey speaks not only from the perspective of a professional psychotherapist but also from personal experience herself, so you can feel a sense of comfort knowing she speaks with genuine understanding of what you have gone through (or are still going through).
I feel anyone who thinks they are dealing with a narcissist should have this book, I have read many books on the subject but none compare.
I thought I knew everything there was to learn about narcissism, but page by page, chapter by chapter, I found there was so much I didn’t know.
One of the book’s strengths lies in its practicality and accessibility. Cole’s writing is clear, concise, and empathetic, making complex concepts and experiences understandable and relatable. The inclusion of real-life examples and scenarios adds depth and helps readers apply the insights to their own situations.
