The follow-up to the top-seller ‘How To Kill A Narcissist.’
Take a hero’s journey into your True Self and emerge reborn.
You have successfully exposed the narcissist and are on the path to recovery. Yet you find that the imprints of narcissistic abuse still hold you back in your life. ‘Narcissism To Rebirth’ is a guide for those wanting to move on for good and maximise their potential.
Throughout this book, the mythology of the hero's journey will serve you as a guide. Like the hero in the story, you will leave the familiar behind, venture into the darkness within, and conquer the inner “demons” of your past.
The road to transformation is separated into four parts:
I. THE ORIGINS OF SELFHOOD: Learn about the building blocks of the True Self; security, vitality, tenacity, divinity and wisdom. Understand how your True Self was stunted by your upbringing, and how you actualise by unifying its elements.
II. THE AGE OF NARCISSISM: See the bigger picture of how narcissism descends at all levels; from its psychological roots to its impact on society at large. Explore in detail the roles and dynamics of the narcissistic family and how this blueprint corrupts all manner of social groups, including business, friendship and community. Consciousness of this hidden pathology frees your mind and prepares you for the journey ahead.
III. THE HERO’S JOURNEY: Embark on a modern-day spiritual journey to rescue your wounded inner child and discover the source of your personal power — the True Self. Here you will reclaim and unite the five fundamental forces of the Self: security, vitality, tenacity, divinity and wisdom. Meanwhile, you will heal your trauma one layer at a time, purging the damage of narcissistic abuse from the inside out.
The hero’s journey includes eight stages for Self development:
1. Awakening: Explore how duality leaves you vulnerable to brainwashing and put an end to it.
2. Orphanhood: Face and release your abandonment wound. Channel the strength of the Orphan archetype to carry you through the wilderness.
3. Metamorphosis: Use the art of centering to carve through the confusion and pave the way to your True Self, setting you up for transformation.
4. Reclaiming Security: Ground yourself and learn to thrive in the face of uncertainty and fear.
5. Reclaiming Vitality: Unleash spontaneity and evolution by merging with the flow of life and learning to truly see and connect with your Self and others.
6. Reclaiming Tenacity: Welcome tension as an agent for growth, and use it to increase your assertiveness and capacity to set boundaries.
7. Reclaiming Divinity: Learn to validate yourself from within while unleashing the fullness of your energy onto the world.
8. Reclaiming Wisdom: Tap into the vast intelligence inside by embracing shame as an ally, using it for maturity, understanding and insight.
IV. THE RETURN: Having sufficiently developed the True Self, you awaken into wholeness. The tyranny of narcissism collapses, and you look ahead with hope to an empowered, actualised way of life. You discover meaning and purpose inside, and begin to contribute your newly found gifts to the world around you.
Through helping you grow the inherent forces of the Self, ‘Narcissism To Rebirth’ opens you to an unimaginable state of power. This profound shift transforms the narcissist’s influence from a deadly storm into a harmless breeze, allowing you to finally come home and become who you were born to be.
This is the art of rebirth after narcissism.
