Toxic Relationships particularly with Narcissists can leave us stuck in rumination and self doubt presenting a residue of roadblocks to the happy and

fulfilling lives we are otherwise capable of living. The term Narcissist has in recent years been bandied around in a very generalized way to describe people that seem self centered, vain or attached to individuals who are annoying. A fully fledged Narcissist or person displaying signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a whole different and dangerous dynamic altogether. The DSM5 or Diagnostics and Statistics Manual lists a Personality Disorder that many people are unaware of when casually using the term Narcissist in daily life to describe an 'unpleasant' person. There are two main presentations of NPD individuals, The Overt Grandiose Narcissist and The Covert Narcissist. 'Weaponized Love' seeks to unmask the Covert Narcissists that walk amongst us posturing often as kind, empathic and often humble human beings, that are in fact the very opposite of what they present to the world via the creation a a fake mask or false persona.
If you have ever been left perplexed by the unexpected disappearance from your life of an intimate partner, the betrayal of a close friend, are still trapped in a toxic family dynamic or are ruminating on why what happened happened, this book may provide you with some answers to otherwise inexplicable relationship dynamics. This book and its creation were born from horrendous person experiences with covert narcissists and a comprehensive search to educate myself on the Narcissistic Personality Disorder in an attempt to understand certain toxic relationship dynamics and, where and how I was drawn into and stayed in these particular narcissist's webs. Having had interpersonal relationships with these toxic personality types I developed an almost intuitive understanding of who they are and how they operate and, the spiritual energy that surrounds them. So many of us are totally unaware that these predators live amongst us and after becoming emmeshed with one can be so absolutely destroyed on a psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical level from which some people are unable to recover. This book seeks to provide an easy to understand, everyday resonating viewpoint on how covert narcissists operate. Narcissists follow a predictable behavior pattern or cycle that once identified will help formerly unaware targets of a narcissist extricate themselves from the toxic and destructive dynamic. Chapter 1 begins as narcissists begin relationships describing the 'Love Bomb' part of the cycle, following on to the 'Devaluation' phase, to 'Discard' and finally to 'Hoover' you back into the relationship to start the process all over again. We discuss also the covert narcissist's 'Smear Campaign' and finally your recovery from an interaction with such a person. For the purposes of making a very clear distinction between 'normal' human beings and individuals with NPD I have used an analogy that describes Narcissists as cloaked invaders from planet "Narcdom'. Described throughout the book are the narcissist's thought processes with cold hard facts of what's actually going on beneath the facade of the 'good person' you may have had or have the misfortune of encountering. Once we know that this personality type exists and how we can more easily identify them behind their outward disguise, we have an advantage. We can hopefully avoid the destruction and havoc they seek to wreck on the lives of others, preventing people from living in their true calling and purpose here on earth. I have used personal examples throughout the publication as promised to my subscribers on my Youtube Channel (Narccon) to share my story without identifying any particular individual. In understanding who and what narcissists really are, we can use the experience to understand ourselves better with clarification, leading to a wonderful healing and awakened self discovery.
