Understanding recurring relationship patterns

Rita Louise examines a dynamic in which empathic people and self-described narcissists may become entangled through unresolved childhood wounds. The book connects early abuse or neglect with patterns that can persist in adult relationships, and considers how unconscious conditioning may keep those patterns in place. Its emphasis is on recognizing those influences and the possibility of changing one’s relationship habits. The subject is framed through childhood trauma and abusive relationship cycles, with the stated aim of helping readers understand why such situations recur and how healthier relationships might become possible.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults reflecting on the effects of childhood abuse or neglect in their relationships
  • Readers seeking a framework for understanding recurring patterns in abusive relationships
  • Those interested in the connection the book draws between early trauma and adult relationship dynamics

Book overview

When people enter into a new relationship, they do not go looking for the rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel. However, countless individuals repeatedly find themselves in these hurtful situations and do not understand why.

A recent Facebook survey of people who self-identify as being empathic revealed a startling insight. Over 80% of the 1,300 respondents disclosed they had suffered from some form of abuse or neglect during their childhood. Organizations, such as the American Psychiatric Association, have also identified early childhood trauma as the cause for the development of severe narcissist tendencies.

An interesting dynamic often develops between the loving, compassionate, and often selfless empaths and those willing to take from them, the self-serving narcissists. Both look to heal their inner wounds in the arms of the other.

The Dysfunctional Dance Of The Empath And Narcissist takes an in-depth look at the unconscious patterns that keep individuals trapped in cycles of abusive relationships. It endeavors to raise people's awareness to the ingrained programming going on deep inside and help the reader understand how they keep getting into these situations in the first place.

Regardless of what happened to a person when they were young, they have the power to redefine themselves and their life. It is possible to break free of these destructive, negative patterns and finally experience the loving, healthy relationship they have always desired.
