Living with Nightmares, Flashbacks, and Triggers

Nightmares that never fade. Flashbacks that steal your breath. Triggers that drag you back into a past you fought your entire life to escape. In Living with Nightmares, Flashbacks, and Triggers from Narcissistic Abuse, Robert Mohr exposes the silent war survivors fight long after the bruises fade. This deeply personal memoir reveals what it is really like to live inside a mind shaped by years of manipulation, gaslighting, abandonment, and emotional cruelty. Told with raw honesty and unforgettable detail, this book explores: How narcissistic abuse rewires the brain and creates lifelong hypervigilance Why simple everyday moments—like a kitchen, a tone of voice, or a smell—can unleash emotional flashbacks The torment of sleep: nightmares, night terrors, guilt, shame, and memories you never asked to relive Triggers that appear without warning, and the strategies survivors create just to stay grounded The search for identity after being scapegoated, invalidated, and silenced for decades Robert writes from scars, not theory. Every chapter gives voice to what survivors feel but rarely say out loud—the confusion, the rage, the grief, the loneliness, and the strength it takes just to exist in a world that doesn't understand the invisible injuries left by narcissistic parents. This book is part of the Narcissism Series, a collection dedicated to exposing the truth behind narcissistic abuse and guiding survivors toward healing, clarity, and self-reclamation. If you have ever felt haunted by your past, misunderstood by others, or trapped inside a cycle of triggers and emotional flashbacks, this book will make you feel seen, validated, and far less alone.
