    About this ebook

    It's Okay to Have Needs of Your Own

    You fell in love with him. But over time you've come to realize he's in love with himself—and you feel trapped. His needs, his problems, and his plans always seem to take precedence over yours.

    Dr. David Hawkins, director of the Marriage Recovery Center, offers a guide to help you identify signs of narcissism, understand how your loved one's issues are affecting you, and prepare a biblical game plan for freeing yourself to live courageously in light of God's love.

    Whether the man in your life can be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), exhibits narcissistic traits and emotionally abusive behavior, or has arrogant and self-centered tendencies, the emotional pain he causes you is very real. Discover the truths, wisdom, and grace you need to spark change in your relationship, set boundaries, and experience healing.

      Amazing! So thankful this book was written! After years of denial I am able to face the truth and move forward with healing! I have even contacted The Marriage Recovery Center Dr David Hawkins is part of to start counseling for my husband and myself. This is no easy path. I hope to be a voice and hope to others once I am past the trauma myself. Thank you for writing this! I am a trailblazer!
    • 5/5
      With of all the books on narcissism, none have been as informative, when explaining the damaging patterns of being married to a narcissist! Very encouraging and validating for the victims that have lost their truth and identity while waiting for that change that never comes. Definitely worthy of 5 stars and then some.
