Mastering Your Inner Self: Overcoming Narcissistic Abuse
When you are in control of yourself, when you take responsibility for your emotions, your reactions, your mind, your heart, your body, your spirit- just everything about you, when you take responsibility for it, you don't give another person the power to take control over that and ultimately you can lead your life in the direction that you see fit.
