Insightful and worth the credits.

I bought this so I could better understand the impact of my friend's vulnerable narcissistic mother and why she kept entering narcissistic relationships. I now get. I'm going to buy her a copy of this for Xmas. Check out Dr.Ramani on Lisa Bilyeu's Women of Impact podcast, that's how I first found out about the book.

Insight and support

Amazing book to support survivor’s journey in understanding the path of healing within and out of a narcissistic relationship. Explores grief and the possibilities of rewriting our narrative as people in our own right. Well worth being read twice.

The constant rhythm of the story telling and its alignment with the main argument

I have been listening to Dr Ramani's youtube videos but listening her reading from her book is another experience. The overall content of the book "It's Not You" is convincing and those at whom the book fucuses can see themselves in it. It feels like a biographical account of your inner feelings. At least it made me feel that I am not delusional or crazy.
Thank you Dr Ramani, you are doing a meaningful work for humanity. More power to you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Life changing!

I suspected I was married to an abusive narcissist and now I know for sure. So revelatory that I could even finish some of Dr Ramani’s sentences. This book has been life changing - highly recommend!
