What to expect

Defeating the Giant: A Guide to Recognizing and Healing from Narcissistic Abuse addresses the reality that anyone, at any time, can be impacted by someone with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Whether among family, friends, coworkers, supervisors, or other community circles—someone with NPD can appear and wreak havoc seemingly without warning. Those impacted can internalize the experience, resulting in feelings of fear, doubt, shame, and depression as well as a loss of identity. Readers get a glimpse into the author’s personal experience, then explore the formal diagnosis and characteristics of an NPD abuser. To defeat and begin healing from the narcissistic giant, the reader is guided through specific skills that infuse practice to not only help assess and understand their experiences but also reclaim their identity and future decisions. This book addresses attachment; the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; and identification of one’s strengths to effectively communicate, maintain boundaries, make choices, and have healthier relationships. Readers will learn how to understand the NPD giant, get specific tools to reclaim their power, and ultimately defeat the giant’s hold.

Critics Review

Defeating the Giant affirms the emotional distress experienced by families, friends, and colleagues affected by narcissistic abuse. Rosanne Nunnery assists readers in comprehending Narcissistic Personality Disorder behaviors, providing significant tools for overcoming a narcissist and the extensive harm inflicted by this disorder.
Shari Botwin, author of Stolen Childhoods: Thriving After Abuse and Thriving After Trauma: Stories of Living and Healing
In Defeating the Giant, Nunnery’s narrative pulls you in from the beginning by sharing her own lived experiences. What truly sets this book apart is Nunnery’s ability to blend clinical theory with practical intervention strategies, all while maintaining a deep sensitivity to the emotional complexities of narcissistic abuse. As someone who has experienced healing from a narcissistic relationship, I found myself reflecting on the powerful insights in this book, particularly the journal prompts. As a counselor educator and licensed professional clinical counselor, I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a resource that combines real-life experience, profound insight, and actionable guidance for healing. If you are looking for a path to understanding and overcoming narcissistic abuse, Defeating the Giant is the book to read.
