Description
When people enter into a new relationship, they do not go looking for the rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel. However, countless individuals repeatedly find themselves in these hurtful situations and do not understand why.
A recent Facebook survey of people who self-identify as being empathic revealed a startling insight. Over 80% of the 1,300 respondents disclosed they had suffered from some form of abuse or neglect during their childhood. Organizations, such as the American Psychiatric Association, have also identified early childhood trauma as the cause for the development of severe narcissist tendencies.
An interesting dynamic often develops between the loving, compassionate, and often selfless empaths and those willing to take from them, the self-serving narcissists. Both look to heal their inner wounds in the arms of the other.
The Dysfunctional Dance Of The Empath And Narcissist takes an in-depth look at the unconscious patterns that keep individuals trapped in cycles of abusive relationships. It endeavors to raise people’s awareness to the ingrained programming going on deep inside and help the reader understand how they keep getting into these situations in the first place.
Regardless of what happened to a person when they were young, they have the power to redefine themselves and their life. It is possible to break free of these destructive, negative patterns and finally experience the loving, healthy relationship they have always desired.
A survivor or childhood abuse, herself, Dr. Rita Louise has emerged as a gifted empath and talented clairvoyant medical intuitive. She is a Naturopathic physician and the founder of the Institute Of Applied Energetics that trains students in the art of medical intuition, intuitive counseling, and energy medicine. She has authored six books and produced several feature-length and short films. Dr. Louise has appeared on radio, television and in movies and has lectured on health and healing, ghosts, intuition, ancient mysteries and the paranormal. Her books and articles have worldwide circulation.
I stopped reading several times and just shuddered. I felt like I was reliving scenes from my childhood with an abusive narcissistic Mother. Unfortunately, as I learned, I sought out the same mother son relationship with the woman I married. Wish I had Dr. Rita’s book many years ago. I highly recommend this book.

My life and experiences seem to make so much sense after getting the book. I’m
Still reading it because it’s not an overnight novel there is a lot to swallow especially if you had traumas in your life caused by narcissists. I am a product of a narcissistic parents (both in their own different way). Unknowingly ended up marrying one and “producing” one. I believe that I myself have narcissistic traits and this is quite understandable knowing what I know now from the book. This has been a long journey to this point but I really hope that I can make some like changes going forward. Thank you for writing the book!
This book changed everything. Without labeling myself an empath and diagnosing my ex as a narcissist, I was able to see the true purpose and origination of my pain. Thank you!
Dr. Rita Louise brilliantly and intelligently shares a journey from a dysfunction childhood family life uncovering not only her spiritual talents and ability to live passionately with joy and happiness, but shows readers how to uncover the unconscious patterns that led them to being trapped in abusive toxic relationships. READ THIS BOOK to truly understand parenting styles leading to healthy or unhealthy adults, primary attachment styles, and how to discern abusive behavior so we might alter outcomes before they cause irreparable damage.

A WELL DONE AND TRUTHFUL LOOK AT PROBLEMS SO MANY ARE FACING IN TODAYS CHALLENGING WORLD.
I bought this book for my daughter, who escaped an unhealthy relationship. She loved it.
