This is an informed guide founded in emotional intelligence, that will help you understand, handle, and deal with extreme narcissists. Most of us show some degree of self-enhancing tendencies, but emotional abuse, emotional blackmail, and manipulation do not form part of most people's narcissistic reactions.

This guide will empower and enable you to stop emotional abuse, providing you with enough objectivity to step away from any emotional roller coaster you may be experiencing, by taking a proactive role.
