Narcissistic abuse runs rampant, causing intolerable psychological pain and for some, destroying lives. There have been narcissists controlling their families, companies, organization, industries, even entire countries. The normalization of the narcissistic personality by the media, films, television programs, social networking, etc. has resulted in a belief on the part of much of the population that becoming monetarily successful through ruthlessness, manipulation and exploitation is perfectly fine. If this causes suffering to other individuals; that's just part of the game that must be played.

There are generations of narcissists within individual families. Shake the family tree and it will rain down narcissists and the fruits of their destruction. I have been in contact with many individuals who have been victimized by such families--they feel trapped, stressed and abused by the psychopathology of generations of narcissistic family members who have destructively affected their lives. Many of these incredible people decide that the narcissism wars will stop with them. They have suffered too much, been robbed of their potential creativity and gifts and physical and psychological vitality, feared for their sanity and even become physically ill. They have drawn a line and now say: "No More!" "I will sever myself from the generations of narcissists who turned my life inside out and upside down."

These brave souls have come into the light of the truth about their families of origin and taken action to regain their sense of individuality, creative force, wholeness and inner peace. They have joined support groups and found friends whom they can trust to help them rebuild their true identities. Some find healing in establishing a therapeutic alliance with an excellent professional. Others use healing modalities such as yoga and meditation to begin to stabilize themselves, steady their minds, open their hearts and finally transcend their past and live fully in the present. These steps are made incrementally---one moment, one day at a time. Making the effort and giving yourself credit for this is vital and healing. Intuition is the brightest star that will lead you to the truth. Turning to a practice of quieting the mind and body will provide you with the steadiness and strength to continue your journey along pathways of wholeness and inner peace.
