It is a therapist's intimate reflection on a client's story, a woman who grew up under the emotional shadow of a narcissistic father and spent years untangling the lies she was taught to believe about herself.\n\nIf you've ever questioned your memories, apologized for needing too much, or felt love had to be earned, this story may feel achingly familiar. And within that familiarity, it may offer a quiet hope: that healing is already beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Rachna Buxani-Mirpuri, M.Ed., LMHC, BC-TMH, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience supporting teens, adults, and families across the U.S., Dubai, and the Cayman Islands.

She first explores the history and evolution of society's perceptions of narcissism, extensively describing the different types of narcissists, defining terms such as gaslighting and emotional neglect, and touching on the invisible rules that guide narcissistic families, paralleling those insights with her client's arduous journey toward healing. As she helps her client work toward forgiveness and a life of \"coming home to yourself,\" Buxani offers practical steps for readers who may be confronting the same issues in their own lives.\n\nAside from Buxani's intense case study, her writing delves into the profound effects that children experience when dealing with a narcissist: they can grow into adults with anxiety, PTSD, and attachment issues, often struggling with fears of silence, abandonment, and vulnerability. Buxani gives readers detailed insight through the lens of her client's struggles, exploring her trauma in a way that feels thoughtful and respectful while describing how narcissism can create \"wounds that didn't bleed but never really healed either.\"\n\nAfter thoroughly outlining how narcissistic abuse changes the behavior and personality of survivors, Buxani offers readers hope for recovery, reminding them that it is possible to regain self-confidence, individualism, and the capacity to trust. As Buxani's client gently but purposefully moves toward self-advocacy and healing, readers, too, learn useful skills to combat narcissism, including firewalling, safe responses to triggers, and radical acceptance. Buxani closes with a gentle nudge to \"begin to trust your voice, your boundaries, and your right to live without shame.\" This encouraging guide is ideal for readers interested in learning more about narcissists, their tactics, and how to heal from those relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfooter\u003e— BookLife\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"LINDIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48232838758551,"sku":"9781971980478","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/9540\/8023\/files\/9781971980478.jpg?v=1788807866","url":"https:\/\/lindie.net\/products\/unseen-a-therapists-reflection-on-a-daughters-journey-through-a-narcissistic-fathers-shadow","provider":"Lantern Indie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
