In this box set, you get the best-selling book Out of the Fog, and you get Start Here included as a bonus.
The book Out of the Fog will help you get out of the of confusion and into the clarity that you are looking for. FOG is an acronym that stands for "Fear, Obligation, and Guilt." These three emotions are often at the core of manipulation and are often how narcissists, sociopaths, and other types of emotional manipulators go about controlling others. However, manipulation isn't just limited to narcissists and sociopaths. There is no shortage of people with well-intended bad advice out there who unintentionally fall into the FOG as well, and push targets of abuse into keeping the relationship going. What makes this well-intended bad advice so damaging is that, on the surface, it seems like good advice--especially if it's coming from people who seem to have our best interests in mind, such as friends, family, or even a therapist. Some examples of this well-intended bad advice that comes from other people is: "Who are you to judge?" "No one is perfect." "You need to forgive them." "Commitment is forever."
On one hand, they are told that they need to work towards a solution, and on the other, they are told that need to leave a partner who lies, cheats, steals, hits, yells, or belittles them. This book compares and contrasts these concepts so that you can make a more empowered decision.
Some of the concepts covered are:
Commitment vs.Codependency
Going Through So Much Together vs.Being Put Through So Much By Them
Sincerity vs.Intensity
Healthy Bonding vs.Trauma Bonding
...and many more.
Plus, as a bonus, you’ll also get Start Here: A Crash Course Guide to Understanding, Navigating, and Healing From Narcissistic Abuse to help you understand the concepts and FAQs surrounding narcissistic abuse.
