Book Description

In her debut book, Disguised Lies, Olivia Dalton chronicles a harrowing journey through a coercively abusive, alcohol-fuelled childhood and, later as an adult, other relationships marked by narcissistic disorder. She offers insights into achieving the realizations necessary for healing, providing clear, intentional pathways for resilience against gaslighting, betrayal, the lovebomb-devalue-discard cycle, and the re-empowerment of the human spirit. Dalton presents tools to transform the mind, body, and spirit, enabling victims to break free from the toxic, cyclical bindings of abuse. By merging light humour with the cringe-worthy subject of narcissism, Olivia’s story balances intensity and inspiration. In her profound, poignantly disturbing, yet uplifting narrative, she explores the spectral characteristics and behavioural stages of narcissistic abuse, the causations, and how she strategically protected and disentangled herself from a lengthy coercively controlled marriage. She also recounts surviving an arduous court battle over property. Peace, purpose, and freedom are the objectives woven into her moving story, culminating in an ending that will leave you speechless. Olivia is many things: an entrepreneur, humanitarian, motivational speaker, and advocate for the liberties and fundamental human rights of women, children, and the vulnerable to exploitation. She is also a thought leader, natural intuitive, inspirator, and mentor. Above all, she’s a survivor!
