Editorial Reviews
From the Author
About the companion book:
Swimming with Sharks: Surviving Narcissist-Infested Waters is the culmination of ten years of work as a psychotherapist and three years of writing. This book is filled with the best of what I do as a therapist for survivor-victims of narcissistic abuse. I intentionally wrote it to be easy to read and specifically wanted it to be colorful and filled with images so that an overwhelming topic wouldn't be quite so overwhelming to read. One other important aspect was the ability to read the book without the narcissist in your life knowing that you're reading about narcissists. For that reason, if you purchase the hardcover and remove the dust jacket, the title only reads, "Swimming with Sharks," and does not have the word "narcissist" anywhere on the cover. The narcissist in your life will likely assume you're reading a novel about people who are willing to risk swimming with actual sharks.

About the Author
As the founder and CEO of a multistate group practice, she has built a team of psychotherapists who are dedicated to improving the lives of hundreds of people every month. Alena also provides consultation to other group practice owners in order to help them improve the systems and processes operating their businesses.
Alena's career was inspired by her own counseling journey. Therapy helped her learn that even though she and her parents shared a loving relationship, she didn't have the power to stop their alcohol abuse. In addition, it helped her let go of a lifetime of learned fear and anxiety in order to raise her own children in a healthier environment based on love, joy, and patience. Alena enjoys sharing the difference that unschooling made in her children's education and their journeys to discovering their individual selves. She passionately advocates for allowing children to hold onto their innate love of learning by embracing their individual learning styles and believes that we succeed as parents if our children know how to learn, grow up feeling loved and accepted, and know how to love, accept, and show compassion toward theirselves and others.
