In We Are Alike: How a Doctor Leveraged Her Neuroscience Expertise to Survive and Heal from Narcissistic Abuse, Carol Beth Nelson, MD delivers a powerful memoir of narcissistic abuse, emotional survival, and personal transformation. Behind the outward success of a full-time neurologist and devoted mother of four in a small South Dakota town, Dr. Nelson spent more than two decades trapped in a toxic relationship with a covert narcissist. Her story begins during the grief-filled years after the death of her first love, while she was pushing through the intense pressures of medical school. In that vulnerable season she met a man who seemed ideal-until the classic signs of narcissistic abuse emerged. Dr. Nelson endured love bombing, gaslighting, manipulation, dishonesty, confusing communication, devaluing, financial abuse, and emotional withdrawal-a textbook pattern of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). As the marriage grew more isolating and abusive, she juggled the demands of a medical career and motherhood while struggling to understand the hidden dynamics of narcissistic relationships. Dr. Nelson shows with unflinching honesty why leaving a narcissist is not easy. She explains the psychological, financial, and emotional obstacles that keep victims tied to an abuser, and shares the coping strategies and self-care practices that helped her survive when things were toughest. By educating herself about narcissistic personality traits and using her background in neuroscience and mental health, she ultimately found the strength to separate, divorce, and create a new life-while staying dedicated to her children and thriving as a physician. Part gripping true story of surviving narcissistic abuse, part practical guide to spotting the red flags of a narcissist, We Are Alike is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand, avoid, or break free from a toxic relationship. Readers will find both a riveting memoir and an empowering roadmap for healing after narcissistic abuse. With the insight of a scientist and the courage of a survivor, Carol Beth Nelson, MD, offers hope, education, and inspiration to anyone determined to reclaim their life.
