Many people wonder why they are ill even though they are taking the best possible care of their health. Many have already tried all known therapies and still feel stuck in their problems. But perhaps the conflict is not just internal, but also external - in your own relationship system.

Toxic relationships can make your life hell, even if you are doing everything right. Those who fall into narcissistic cycles of dependency not only become physically ill, because over time the toxic stress becomes so high that mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety disorders and even suicidal tendencies can manifest themselves.

Modern narcissism research shows that it is often necessary to change not only oneself, but also one's own relationships. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family system, you are particularly susceptible to narcissistic injuries in later relationships.

In Part 1, this work describes the development of complex trauma consequences due to narcissistic parents and how, despite a difficult past, one cannot be dissuaded from expressing one's own potential. Using 100 examples of narcissistic parenting patterns, it is possible to shed light on one's own family background and determine the extent of dysfunctionality, expose narcissistic mind games and identify strategies for healthy relationships.

In terms of an integrative approach, trauma is seen as something that is part of life and not something that only affects a few. Shadow child and sun child are described by means of episodic stories of a female and a male trauma victim (and also sheds light on traumas caused by stereotypical

gender identifications). Their upbringing in a non-trauma-sensitive society and the effects on their later lives are highlighted. The concept of shadow work is also transferred from Buddhist psychology to trauma therapy, thus creating a scientific framework for millennia-old knowledge (which must, of course, always be subjected to scrutiny, as not all original spiritual approaches are healing per se).

As part of shadow work, those split-off parts that led to the formation of the trauma ego, which was necessary for childhood survival, are integrated and sometimes also released. The more one uncovers the shadow in adulthood, the more light can emerge from it for one's own life path.

Part 2 of the book describes how the master school of mindfulness is used to bring out the greatest light from the greatest shadow. Essential techniques from modern trauma therapy, which address the connections between body and psyche, are presented and a path is shown on how to take the first steps towards stabilization and find the right treatment paths for oneself. In addition, the further course of the potential work is described, which then increasingly brings the inner sun child to shine and thus also sustainably improves health, professional success, happiness, self-confidence and much more.
