He goes into explicit detail about exactly what is lost through narcissistic abuse and why it hurts so much spiritually.Both the step-by-step “break-up checklist” and the “abuser’s trap” show the exact chain of events that allow toxic people to use situations to their advantage to isolate their partners and to blame them for the breakup. The list of “word salad” techniques for how toxic people engage in circular conversation is found in memes and re-copied all over the Internet.His original list of 30 Red Flags for Spotting Toxic People from the book (and website) is cited or referenced in many other lists of red flags or warning signs.Psychopath Freeis a classic in the literature on narcissistic abuse. The revelation (or series of revelations, in my case) that showed me that something was terribly wrong in my past relationship. His website was one of the first that I found and spent time on in the aftermath of the initial “unmasking.” You know what I’m talking about.
