“Spiritual awakenings can happen anywhere, at anytime, to anyone and usually when one least expects it. Quite often it is as a result of living through life’s all too real hardships that people find their inspirational truths and clarity. The questions aren’t: does God exist and where is He or She? The question is: are you open to experiencing and having a loving relationship with God and Spirit? Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro brilliantly takes the reader on a journey of truth and clarity through relatable scenarios of everyday life that we, the reader, can totally, easily and personally connect with. Thought provoking and challenging insights are the readers’ reward in this literary find entitled: God Came To My Garage Sale.”

“The magnificent and awesome truth that our consciousness survives death and the importance of focusing our earthly efforts on love and positive interactions throughout our lifetime has been voiced by the millions of people who have experienced death and have subsequently survived over the centuries, but increasingly so as resuscitation efforts improved.  Near-Death-Experiencers and individuals who have had Spiritually Transformative Encounters the world over, like Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro, are bravely speaking out to share their riveting, uplifting and life-altering accounts, so that the veil will become more transparent and humanity will learn to transform their lives toward love and goodwill to all, and to present the world with an offering of peace. This beautiful and inspirational fictional book is a gift to the reader, filled with the character’s firsthand accounts of Spiritual miracles, Divine encounters and metamorphic awareness leading to growth and self actualization.

 “When it comes to God and Universe, I am a firm believer in meaning for everything, which is the opposite of reason for everything. Every human life experience may not have a reason, but looking deeper into the hidden messages that God and the Universe bring to us, you will see that there will always be meaning in every message and every encounter. In her first novel, God Came To My Garage Sale, Marni eloquently portrays the synchronicity with God and the Universe. You will find yourself having similar connections with miracles. This book is truly enlightening and inspiring. The Spiritual scenarios are derived from the character’s personal encounters and are translated into literary form as an outstanding work of inspirational fiction, with relatable stories that are transformational, fun and exciting to read.”

Endorsements for

True Deceit False Love:

15,555 Terms & Phrases

on Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse & Parental Alienation

“Many people who have suffered abuse, whether it is Parental Alienation or other forms of Family Violence, are subjected to considerable verbal and psychological abuse. Language can cause considerable damage, but it can also help with recovery. Seeing commonly used words and phrases that others have expressed to describe and survive their abuse may be transformative to those who need understanding and another perspective on their experiences. Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro’s book, True Deceit False Love, may be very useful for individuals who struggle to find the words to explain what they have been through, and may aid in their healing process.”

~Jennifer J. Harman, Ph.D.,

Relationship Expert, Researcher, Professor, Author, Public Speaker

“Language shapes consciousness and self-awareness is a precondition to healing. This book, True Deceit False Love, an astounding feat and labor of true love, is the equivalent of a panacea: it gives voice to the speechless and empowers victims and survivors by allowing them to share in the linguistic commonalities of the harrowing experiences of abuse. The author, Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro, has done the impossible: she collected in a single tome, thousands of words and sentences in common and current usage, mainly online. Wisely, she offers no definitions of her own – just keywords intended to lead to independent study. A vade mecum the likes of which had never been proffered hitherto. Kudos.”

~Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.,

Professor of psychology, Author of Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited

“When you suffer from Domestic Violence and Narcissistic Abuse you are conditioned to doubt your reality, as well as your suffering. In time, you learn to believe that what is happening is your fault. Disowning one’s right to honor what one feels and experiences is controlled through the manipulation of words and phrases used by the abuser. For this reason, a book such as True Deceit False Love is a lighthouse for so many who are having to crawl their way out of the psychic traumas caused by abusive others. Understanding terms and phrases as abusive helps a victim develop the ability to identify manipulation before a victim assumes blame for any impending abusive episode. Thank you Marni for being a lighthouse to so many.”

~Lisa A. Romano,

Breakthrough Life Coach, Bestselling Author and Spiritual Healer

True Deceit False Love is THE must-have reference guide for the many terms and phrases associated with Domestic Violence.

“When we’re able to apply the proper language to what we’re mentally and emotionally experiencing, we’re able to create personal clarity, it helps others to understand what we’re currently experiencing and allows us to open the door to finding solutions and to eventually work to heal from the abuse that we have endured. Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro’s ingenious work focusing on Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse and Parental Alienation allows the reader to understand, discover and fully realize what they have been experiencing. Often the victims blame themselves for what is taking place and are unable to see the full picture. Dr. Marni, through her TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE series, offers terms and phrases, poetry and a workbook to help victims to be able to stop blaming themselves, to see the participants clearly and begin to safeguard their inner person. When we understand the truth of what we’re experiencing, we’re able to find solution, work to end the abuse and stop the cycle. We then begin the healing phase of our personal journey and stop engaging with what no longer serves our highest good.”

The INTRODUCTION for

TDFL series Book 1:

TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE

15,555 Terms & Phrases on

Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse & Parental Alienation

was written by

DR. SAM VAKNIN

from North Macedonia, an Israeli writer & professor of psychology

who is the author of

“Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited”

“Language shapes consciousness and self-awareness is a precondition to healing. This book, True Deceit False Love, an astounding feat and labor of true love, is the equivalent of a panacea: it gives voice to the speechless and empowers victims and survivors by allowing them to share in the linguistic commonalities of the harrowing experiences of abuse.

When I started my work on narcissism, there was no language to describe any of this. This forced muteness made it impossible for victims to fend off abusers, predators, and their ilk. In April 1997, I uploaded to the Web a free Internet edition of my book “Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited”, written in 1995. It is still available here: http://www.narcissistic- abuse.com. It generated an outpouring of anguish and relief from both narcissists and victims of abuse, who now could put a label to their misery and suffering. Thus, my publisher and wife, Lidija Rangelovska, followed up with the first print edition of the book in 1999.

At the time, with the exception of a handful of scholars, no one had even heard of pathological narcissism. I had to come up with a whole new vocabulary to describe the pernicious disorder and its insidious effects. I coined phrases such as Somatic and Cerebral Narcissist, Narcissistic Abuse, No Contact, Devalue and Discard, Cold Empathy, Flying Monkeys, Hoovering, Inverted Narcissist, and dozens of others. Sometimes, I had to imbue moribund phrases from the 1930s and 1970s with new meaning: Narcissistic Supply and False Self are two examples of many. 26 years later, Narcissism is a cultural meme, a buzzword, and a leading topic of study in academe. With this popularity came a proliferation of terms, phrases, idioms, and neologisms.

The author of True Deceit False Love: 15,555 Terms & Phrases on Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse & Parental Alienation, Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro, has done the impossible: she collected in a single tome thousands of words and sentences in common and current usage, mainly online. Wisely, she offers no definitions of her own – just keywords intended to lead to independent study. A vade mecum the likes of which had never been proffered hitherto. Kudos.”

The FOREWORD to

TDFL series Book 6

TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE

Setting Healthy Boundaries After Surviving

Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation,

Intergenerational Family Trauma

& Best Friend Betrayal

was written by my very close friend and fellow surTHRIVER

TRACY A. MALONE

“Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro and I have connected through our shared experiences and the bond of becoming “surTHRIVERS” after experiencing Narcissistic Abuse. When a Targeted Victim has been in an Abusive relationship, several factors can make them more vulnerable and Trauma-Bonded. These may include qualities such as being a compassionate Empath, having codependent tendencies, over-giving and/or being a people-pleaser. However, what Abusers specifically target is someone with weak boundary-setting skills. 

After years of attempting to establish Healthy Boundaries with others that were consistently disregarded, I reached a point where I almost considered giving up trying to stand up for myself by speaking up and staying true to my values. The notion crossed my mind that I might not be skilled at setting Healthy Boundaries. It was only through my honest, insightful conversations and inspiring friendship with Marni that I began to recognize numerous people in my life, including immediate family members, with whom my boundaries had never proven effective. This realization prompted me to research and do a deep-dive to understand the importance of strengthening my boundaries with everyone, and to conclude that those who didn’t respect my boundaries didn’t have a place in my life. As painful and uncomfortable as it was, it became necessary for me to let go of these toxic, unhealthy and unbalanced relationships. 

As a global Narcissistic Abuse Coach, my mission is to empower Survivors to thrive and become “surTHRIVERS” who assert their boundaries and prevent being taken advantage of in their future relationships. In addition to my in-person and online coaching, I am also a best-selling author, experienced teacher, regular podcaster and sought-after international speaker who provides workshops, classes, healing journals and numerous resources, all of which can be found on my website www.NarcissistAbuseSupport.com.

In this book, Marni provides real-life examples and stories that illustrate situations where individuals may find it necessary to establish, set and enforce Healthy Boundaries. Whether you’re dealing with a romantic partner, family members, friends or coworkers, Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro offers practical advice to assist you in your awareness as you learn to finally value yourself and your worth, and determine what you will and will no longer tolerate in relationships. 

I believe that Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro’s work in this book on Setting Healthy Boundaries, as in all of her books in her prominently-endorsed and award-winning book series “TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE,” is essential for shedding light on situations that may require improved boundary-setting skills.”

Simple Explanations for Complex Terms

on Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation

& Intergenerational Family Trauma

which was honored as a Finalist in the

sponsored by the

American Book Fest

was written by my very dear friend and fellow influencer

ANOUSHKA MARCIN

“Understanding the terminology used by the narcissistic abuse community is crucial for several reasons. Primarily, it empowers survivors of narcissistic abuse to articulate their experiences and feelings accurately. This language provides them with the tools to validate their own struggles and connect with others who have faced similar challenges, reducing feelings of isolation and self-doubt. Next, knowledge of this terminology aids mental health professionals in recognising and addressing narcissistic abuse. This can lead to more effective therapy and support for survivors, helping them on their path to recovery. Further, awareness of the narcissistic abuse lexicon can contribute to broader societal understanding of this pervasive issue. The more people are educated about the dynamics and tactics employed by narcissists, the better equipped they are to identify abusive behaviour in their own lives, potentially preventing further harm. In essence, the knowledge of terminology within the narcissistic abuse community serves as a valuable tool for survivors, therapists, and society as a whole. It fosters empathy, support, and a collective effort to combat narcissistic abuse, ultimately promoting healing, resilience, and healthier relationships.

I am a motivational speaker and online presence talking about narcissism and emotional trauma. I am a trainee psychologist and my work is about enabling the survivor to realise that recovery is possible by reconnecting back to themselves and starting to build a strong alliance with their core spirit. This is a very important and necessary part of the process of healing. My work has reached audiences of millions around the globe through my thought provoking and enlightening videos, wellbeing blogs and social media posts. 

I met Marni a few years ago when she began writing her prominently endorsed and very well received TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE book series which provides terminology, tools and a creative approach to understanding and healing from Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation and Intergenerational Family Trauma. We clicked the moment we met; you see, Marni values honesty and has a warm, compassionate and authentic disposition, which I would say is not typical nowadays. Some people are like a rare diamond and when you meet them, you want to keep connected to their kindness. Marni is a rare diamond and I feel blessed that our paths crossed. Through this dark subject that we both are well versed in, I hope that our friendship, along with our respective outreach efforts, can provide inspiration to others so they will know that there are genuine, empathetic and authentic people in the world. You just need to set and enforce healthy boundaries in relationships when your gut intuition tells you to pay attention to red flags, while you educate yourself, learn the many “simple explanations for complex terms,” acknowledge and take ownership of your foundational patterns, prioritize your wellbeing and make true connections with people of integrity. 

I cannot praise Marni enough for her writing and what she brings to survivors to be able to put to words their experiences. These covert and dark experiences are intentionally kept in the shadows by the malevolent perpetrators and their accomplices. Many survivors do not have the linguistic vocabulary to describe what has happened to them. Through Marni’s work, she sheds light onto such a hidden and emotive subject, enabling survivors to be able to articulate what they’ve been through, which allows empowerment out of victimhood. There is no-one else like Marni who, with her work and collections, has provided such unique, supportive and compassionate tools to help the reader understand Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse, Parental Alienation, Intergenerational Family Trauma and Best Friend Betrayal and empower them with the vernacular to move forward in renewed hope. And hope is what every survivor needs to be able to step into a new chapter of their lives. I give my highest praise to Dr. Marni Hill Foderaro for bringing such impactful resources to a much needed topic with her TRUE DECEIT FALSE LOVE book series.”

“Marni Hill Foderaro’s work represents a creative form of expression for the abuse she suffered as a child who had been alienated from a parent by another parental figure. The experience of this form of child abuse is often severe and difficult to process. Books such as this provide insight to this process and have the potential to touch many other adults who were alienated as children and may not be aware they had been abused.”
