Starve the Manipulators: New Book 'Don't Feed Your Vampires'

Our No Manipulation project began in 2018. In 2020 we launched an online video course. Now, we aim to publish a book with your help. Through Hithit, we're raising funds for publication. Let's spread awareness about this societal evil and help many people.

Who is the book "Don't Feed Your Vampires" intended for? And who is it primarily not for?

"Don't Feed Your Vampires" is for those who've experienced systematic psychological manipulation in various relationships - romantic, family, work, friendships, or community. It primarily targets individuals from unstable family backgrounds, which inevitably impacts their adult lives.

These people often feel they attract manipulators and can't escape this maze. The book offers a comprehensive view of the issue, including understanding one's role in manipulative relationships and the path to transformation. It provides tools for recognizing manipulation and support for personal growth.

It's important to note what the book doesn't cover. It's not for victims of manipulation-related crimes like severe violence or rape. It doesn't focus on narcissistic personality disorder as a psychiatric diagnosis. These cases need professional help. However, even people with these experiences may find inspiration for their liberation in the book.

Do you have an education in psychology?

Yes, but not at a university level. Together, we completed a three-day course on Defense Against Relationship Manipulation. I attended 4 semesters of postgraduate study in general psychology. We gained our knowledge and counter-manipulation skills primarily through intensive study of books on the topic of manipulation in relationships and their application in real life. Also, through intensively providing practical help to students of our online video course.
