Category: Communication

A significantly expanded edition of Psychopath Free--containing new chapters, updated content, and real survivor experiences.   Have you ever been in a relationship with a psychopath? Chances are, even if you did, you would never know it. Psychopaths are cunning charmers and master manipulators, to th e point where you start to accept the most extreme behaviors as normal...Even if it hurts you. All around us, every single day, human beings devoid of empathy are wreaking havoc and destroying lives in the coldest, most heartless ways imaginable. In constant pursuit of money, sex, influence, or simple entertainment, psychopaths will do whatever it takes to gain power over others. They hide behind a veil of normalcy, arranging their friends and partners like pawns in a game of chess.   Using false praise and flattery to get what they want, they can lure any unsuspecting target into a relationship. Once hooked, their charming promises spin into mind games and psychological torture. Victims are left devastated and confused, unable to recognize--or even put into words--the nightmare that just took place.   Written from the heart, Psychopath Free is the first guide for survivors written by a survivor, offering hope for healing and thriving after psychopathic abuse. Say goodbye to the chaos, self-doubt, and victimization. You are free. ...Show more

Category: Anger & Violence

Do you know one of these men? The catch-me-if-you-can lover... Phil's romantic and passionate one minute, distant and cold the next. The deviously manipulative coworker or boss... Jack denies resenting Nora's rapid rise in the company, but when they're assigned to work together on a project, he undermin es her. The obstructionist, procrastinating husband... Bob keeps telling his wife he'll finish the painting job he began years ago, but he never seems to get around to it. These are all classic examples of the passive-aggressive man. This personality syndrome -- in which hostility wears a mask of passivity -- is currently the number one source of men's problems in relationships and on the job. In Living with the Passive-Aggressive Man, Scott Wetzler draws upon numerous case histories from his own practice to explain how and why the passive-aggressive man thinks, feels, and acts the way he does. ...Show more

Category: Communication | Series: Nonviolent Communication Guides

What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate --judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people-- could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of four things: ; Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity ; Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance ; Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all ; Means of influence: sharing "power with others" rather than using "power over others" Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things: ; Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection ; Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships ; Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit ...Show more

Stalked: the Human Target - Stories of People Pursued by Stalkers and the Devastating Effects on Their Lives by Rachel Cassidy

$35.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Difficult & Abusive Relationships

Stalked is a detailed account of the effects of stalking, which is experienced by a shockingly high proportion of the population. Celebrities like David Letterman and Madonna are the highest profile targets of stalkers, but ordinary people are also targeted, harassed and bullied. Rachel Cassidy, hersel f the target of a stalker, tells the stories of people who have been pursued by stalkers and the devastating effects that has had on their lives. To an outsider, the stalker's actions may appear to be minor indiscretions, but the unwanted constant attention, relentless harassment, and utter terror of being a human target can have chilling cumulative effects. Sometimes the stalker's behavior becomes violent. Dancing with the Stars judge Mark Wilson had two dancing schools burned to the ground and his career destroyed. The man who stalked Jodie Foster attempted to assassinate President Reagan to gain her attention. With the assistance of forensic psychologists who have worked with stalkers and their targets, and lawyers and police who have represented and protected the people pursued, the author explores the psychopathology of stalkers, surveys the laws that deal with stalking behaviors, and looks at cyberstalking. In the final section, Cassidy discusses how to survive a stalker and build a new life of achievement and hope. Stalked is a perceptive analysis of stalking from the inside--told by the targets, the stalkers, and the experts who deal with the havoc wreaked by the people who harass or persecute others with unwanted and obsessive attention. ...Show more

How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved: Describes 8 Types of Dangerous Men, Gives Defense Strategies, a Red Alert Checklist for Each & Includes Stories of Successes & Failures by Sandra Brown

$38.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: Couples

What is a dangerous man? Most of us immediately think of someone who is physically violent, but there are other behaviours that are dangerous to a woman's emotional and spiritual growth, quality of life and long-term fulfillment. Men who want mothers, not partners; men who prey on lonely women; men who are mentally ill, addicted, or emotionally unavailable; men who have hidden lives. All of these men are, in a sense, dangerous, even soul-deadening. This savvy, straightforward book offers help for women wanting to avoid bad choices and unsatisfactory relationships with men. The author, a therapist who has treated both victims and perpetrators, uses research and victims' stories to help women of all ages identify these men-before they become too involved. Sandra Brown describes eight types of dangerous men and what makes them tick. She explains that women have an inborn "red flag" system that signals impending danger and why many women learn to ignore it. Brown shows women how to develop a personalised "Do Not Date" list and find a defence strategy that will enable them to recognise, avoid or separate from dangerous men. This practical guide teaches women tools that can help them choose partners wisely, avoid pain-and danger-and have long, happy relationships with men. ...Show more
