I joined this abuse recovery program with the greatest expectations. I am an idealist at heart and still believe there are altruistic people and programs in the world. NARP, unfortunately, is not one of them. Melanie----much like all cult leaders----holds out this incredible healing message which, whether intended or not, seems to prey upon people who have already been abused. I was following her and her program which has a forum component with the greatest confidence. As a Gold member, which means you pay over two hundred dollars for her online material that you can research and find for yourself for free, you get to discuss your experience in posts (to a VERY limited and guarded degree) as a way of giving and receiving support. But do NOT think for yourself, whatever you do! I was a member of this cult for less than a month. When I realized how much "monitoring" is done and the very real fact that you CANNOT speak freely, are censored if you dispute what the "gods" say in any way, my red flag went up and I left! In a post, I tried to warn other members by writing of my experience. When I returned to the site to make a copy of my post, it was gone----in less than 15 minutes! This was the second incident in which I attempted to speak out in a non-inflammatory but upfront way and had my post banned! Needless to say, I've been banned from the forum. Good riddance to the Melanie Tonia Evans "cult"!
It's possible that people have been helped by this woman who has no credentials or even formal education to speak of yet declares herself an expert just because she's a former narcissistic abuse victim who's been touched by "Divine Intervention". But tread lightly here. There have been many cult-like leaders like her who have proven themselves to be very dangerous. I know for a fact that people are "encouraged" to write favorable reviews about her program. So if you sign on with her program, keep your eyes and ears open. But if you think for yourself---lookout. You'll be banned!
I didn't know what was wrong for many years in my relationship with my husband, but I knew something was wrong. I went to my local YWCA and started counseling and learned for the first time about NPD. Once I started researching this topic everything started making sense. I realized I was not alone for the first time. I always felt like something was wrong with me... that i was crazy. I was directed to Melaniee Tonia Evans website from a forum I was on and finally found someone who understood exactly what I was going through. She explains things in a precise considerate manner. Afer listening to her youtube videos along with my continuing counseling sessions I feel the fog is starting to clear. I feel with continuing with my self-help and the no-contact with my husband I will again one day be whole and healthy.
One thing for sure I do not want to repeat this process with another relationship. I understand how important it is to heal myself first. I am committed to continuing my work on myself and am so thankful for being introduced to Melanie Tonia Evans. I will be forever greatful for the opportunity God has given me to work on my own issues away from the chaotic life with which I was living and for Melanie Tonia Evans for all her work on this subject and for sharing her stories with us. I am determined to rise above this and with her help I know I can!
I began my journey with Melanie Tonia Evans a few years ago when I began to do the NARP healing program. I was reeling after my third narcissistic break-up in 6 years and I realized that I had to clean-up my role in these relationships. I realized that the common denominator in all these situations was me. After I received the NARP program, I began using it obsessively because it allowed me to learn how to start soothing my own internal emotional wounds, immediately. It was a feeling I had never experienced before. Now, about four years later, I have come back to do the Self Empowerment course because while I have been able to keep narcissists out of my love life/personal space, I have been finding this energy is still in my professional space and I think there is some more work I need to do to turn my mindset around and to stop this energetic attachment for good. I have been on Module One for about a week, just kind of going in every few days with it, but WOW, I have already found some unhelpful beliefs that I can target to uproot and change. This program is awesome!
After living with multiple abusers and narcissists, I am convinced that Melanie's way is the only way to go.
I've had a very similar story as Melonie, been in a marriage for 31 years with what I just discovered was with a Narcissist. It was a real moment of revelation but most of all relief. I'd investied all these years with someone whom I truly loved but the hardest thing was realising with him it wasn't real love. The mind games, lies, betrayal was sending me crazy and I was the one labelled with a Mental Health diagnosis BPD. So when you come to that point of pure relief that your nit actually losing your mind it's all part of their games. The two most wonderful achievements where my two adult children whom amazingly have turned out astonishally perfect. I've now been separated three months which I know is the best decision I could of ever made but I won't deny that after 31 years with one person there is still things and memories you miss. It is a grieving process and taking this daily journey with Melonie helps with every step you take. But it's a "must" journey it has to happen before it destroys what time you have left, so all I can suggest if any of this resignates with you take that step, take back your control because it's not you and you deserve a life that your worthy of.

I have been reading Melanie's posts and watching her video blogs for many years now. But I hesitated to sign up to the program believing that I had all the tools I needed to complete my own recovery. Yet, I found myself, again and again getting hooked into my ex's patterns. There were times I could totally rise above his games, and I often felt confident I could protect my children, but any time I felt under-resourced, struggled financially, or things were going badly, I felt myself pulled back into his toxic field. This was especially degrading to me, in that I work in a field supporting women dealing with trauma.
My ex-partner is not the first narcissist in my life. My father was a narcissist and my mother had addiction issues. I fully agree with Melanie that childhood pain is leading me to replicate this pattern in my adult life. As such, I have carefully avoided romantic relationships for many years now as I seek emotional health. It was supposed to be a temporary solution to avoid attaching to another narcissist while I healed. Unfortunately, I have never felt solid enough to take that risk. This is not how I want to live my life, I want to heal.
This week, when struggling to make a decision about how to deal with a particularly damaging lie told by my ex, I decided to sign up for one of Melanie's workshops.
The research she shared, reflects my own research and understanding of trauma. Particularly the limitations of talk therapy for patterns of behaviour that began in childhood.
After a useful meditation using her Quanta Freedom Healing method, Melanie went over her 10 modules in her healing program. These modules were laid out clearly and reflected back to me the different stages I had gotten stuck on in my own healing journey. I deliberated for a day and then reached out to start her process.
I am very optimistic and ready to take this important step to leaving narcissistic abuse behind.
I was skeptical at first about the fast recovery time and promised results. But given the emotional turmoil I was going through at the time, I knew it was worth a try. My thoughts and feelings felt completely hijacked and was trying to make sense of it all. I know many of you can relate. I ordered the NARP Gold program January 2016. During this time I was constantly obsessing about how my ex discarded me, why he did it, and trying to piece together any clues that could get me closer to the truth of my relationship, since ex wouldn't provide me answers/closure. The NARP program teaches how to become intimate with our feelings and emotions, so we don't have to get closure from the very person that hurt us (and who will continue to hurt us - because they are acting from their own level of stunted growth/maturity). The program has been PHENOMENAL. Today, August 26,2016, I have reached a place of PEACE and no longer obsess over what my ex is doing (or not doing), or the injustice of what has happened. I'm a totally different person from seven months ago, and it is significantly due to NARP. Highly recommended and you can't lose -- I believe there's a 30 day money back guarantee. Melanie Tonia Evans is very dedicated to her work. She responds to those that leave comments on her blog and you can tell her work comes from a whole-hearted place. NARP has been more effective for me than traditional counseling. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
First off if you have something bad to say about Melanie your a fake person paid to stop the healing or you were never a victam of narcissistic abuse. I was and am on the verge of dying in front of my lil children due to alcohol abuse to cover the pain.If you call a person who for free took the time to show me that I was truly a victam and at same time her videos clearly helped my family that turned there backs on me understand what was happening to me and why I went from a boss to a loss do to extreme torcher. If you think a person who is saving one life is bad shame on you.Im getting sober at this moment and shaking from withdraw not scared to die because she made me believe and my family is here supporting me about to get kratom for easing symptoms. I might not make sense but know that she convinced me to go without alcohol for my children so thats three lives saved and There IS a version of me that IS not a alcoholic and there IS a version of me that IS sober and IS a good single father point period without a daubt. Quantam healing home boy. God bless you Malanie my list is coming true.
I found the NARP community while searching online for healing resources after a very painful relationship and breakup with a narcissist, and uncovering the truth about my past and childhood. I participated in Melanie's free teleseminar, and then went on and applied to get a scholarship, which I received. I don't know where I would be right now if I hadn't had this scholarship for the NARP program, beacuse my financial life was a disaster after the breakup and all the PTSD that follows. It has helped me so so much. I had many PTSD symptoms, had troubles sleeping, concentrating, I felt very hurt and frightened that I would be and feel like this forever. The healing tools really work, even if you don't believe in metaphysical concepts, it's so worth trying and sticking to doing the healings, as they really work miracles on clearing and liberating yourself of the pain and all that accompanies it on a deep down level, not just intellectually. The community is very supportive and helpful too. I highly recommend this program to anyone who has suffered narcissistic abuse.As you progress in your healing journey through this program, you will understand what it means when they say that everything happens for a reason, that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and that this very painful event in your life can be an opportunity for you to become even better than you were before, and to finally become your most authentic self. Incredible but very true.
All is as expected, very helpful! Been using this program for a couple years. This upgrade is great! Thank you, Mel
Melanie Tonia Evans' Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program has come at such a crucial time in my life. I am a mother of two young children, one of which has severe disabilities. Having a child with such high needs means being a "good enough" parent just isn't an option. Yet so often, despite my best efforts, my narcissistic mother's hooks keep unravelling me and effecting my own parenting. It didn't seem to matter how much I educated myself about narcissists I haven't been able to avoid all those maternal hooks, and after 47 years there are many!. When I first started watching Melanie's videos I must admit I had eagerly waited to hear how I could defeat my mother's guilt games and gain to some clever tactical manoeuvres to show my mother up - hopefully in front of a whole family audience. However, now I have started Melanie's Recovery Program I have come realise unless I focus on me, not my mother's issues, to give myself what I didn't get as a child I will never truly be free of this toxic relationship. Melanie's Thriver Model is helping me to build myself up so that I can be whole & full on my own without the need to seek approval or comfort from some else. This means I can still love my mother and wish her wellness and happiness (if that is possible for her) but her mind games will become redundant as there is no place for any maternal hooks to lodge themselves. Already in this early stage of my recovery with Melanie's program things are shifting internally and I can see situations with a lot more clarity. I am a calmer and more self-aware mother. The partnering I do for myself means that I am starting to have so much more maternal capacity to support my children's emotional needs than before. I am so excited to continue on this journey with Melanie's very experienced and expert guidance. She is warm and embracing and she gets it, boy does she get it! It is so hard not to nod "Yes!" time after time as she speaks and grin with an acknowledging chuckle at her shared experiences. And I am so glad that she is making this a journey all about me - after 47 my years on this planet I think it is finally about time, too.
I have not started the NARP program, but I have read the NARP book, which presents a powerful healing paradigm. I am an avid Abraham Hicks student, and am finding relief for my trauma (narc. Parent, narc. Lovers) using the Abraham concepts for raising vibration. But I needed more specified help, for preverbal childhood trauma, subconscious programming, and especially very troubling psychic phenomena. Abraham is very general, and Melanie provides specifics for my particular situation. I also want to say that it was a blog by Melanie titled, "Breaking the Psychic Binds of the Narcissist" and a youtube video by Melanie titled "How to Break the Psychic Connection with a Narcissist" that brought me to her work. (I even had my psychotherapist listen to that youtube video during a session with her, as it is so clarifying.) I was looking for someone with the "energetic" understanding, because I am an empath, psychic, and medium, and I am having major issues in the energetic realm, related to my narc. Abuse, that I need help with. I'm so glad Melanie includes this level in her work. I'm looking forward to joining the online community and NARP program (I signed up today).
The NARP gold programme is fantastic and Melanie certainly knows what she's talking about. However, i think she has made a huge mistake in giving her moderators a false sense of superiority over other people on the healing journey. There is a forum that comes with the NARP gold package and the people running this forum blend into a dangerous collective mindset. They all use the same patronising theraputic language and have taken their small ammount of power too far. Whoever brings up an issue with the programme is accused of being in a state of victimhood and is then disregarded and blocked from giving feedback or communicating within the forum. This is a kind of cult mentality and the moderators have been very quick to take this collective mindset on as their sole identity. They repeat Melanies words like parrots and have developed a pretty limited way of seeing the world. You do not feel you are speaking to a human when communicating with Melanies team, you feel you are speaking to an inauthentic clone. This is unfortuantely very common within groups and it is dissappointing to see it happen here without any correction from Melanie. The moderators have put themselves in a very lofty position of perfection and superiority. Anyone who is not 100% happy and in agreement is disregarded as 'unhealed' and 'stuck'. The rating i have given is based solely on the forum and Melanies team. The actual programme is great but be prepared if you want to get involved with the NARP community.
I was so fortunate to find Melanie's blog page while researching Gaslighting and Narcissistic Abuse. I have been in a Narcissistic marriage for the past 26 years and was left in a completely shattered and broken state after I was left in October of 2017 with no warning. I had a suicide attempt the following month and was told not to expect a lot of improvement with the state of my mental health after experiencing what I had been through. That was until I found Melanie's Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program and her wonderful web page, https://www.melanietoniaevans.com/. She has been there, through the pain and suffering and ultimate healing. She offers a free 16 day recovery course and daily e-mails to support you during the start of your true healing from the deep scars and disbelief after being devalued and discarded from what you thought was the love of your life. Honestly, I felt I was broken beyond repair from my ordeal and was completely heartbroken from the aftermath. Melanie also has a series of videos on YouTube, Thriver TV at this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/MelanieToniaEvans. After spending weeks in hospitals from crippling depression and hopelessness, Melanie's work has changed my life so much for the better. I try to tell everyone I meet in a similar situation about her, including my therapy team to let others know that there is a way out of feeling like you are walking on broken glass. I lost everything in my situation, as Melanie has also experienced, but with her clear, concise methods and total understanding, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My condition has improved so much since finding her, there are not enough words to describe what a difference she has made in my life. I truly don't think I would be alive today without her loving support. I normally never write reviews for anything, but I feel like I have an obligation to others to let them know that they too don't need to endlessly suffer through this degree of pain. I am from New Mexico and have done a lot of energy work there, but nothing I have ever experienced compares to the life changing miracle that Melanie has given me.
Melanie has opened my eyes to so much I didn't know or understand and was beating myself up about, and thinking i was crazy.
Integrative, provocative, challenging, creative, thoughtful, intense, worthy and valuable.
Put your brain off... Melanie's method works! 100 billion thanks, Melanie! A thriver, not a survivor!
On line help available at any time. I found the site at 3 am while having a meltdown, thanks to a narc.
Excellent information and service with practical and useful information
Answer: Hi Ed, all painful relationships with self, others and life can be traced back to the origins of trauma trapped in our bodies that can be tracked through to and released with the NARP Program. The only criteria necessary is that the person in question fully realises that they have inner trauma that can be attended to and is willing to do the work within NARP to achieve that. I hope that answers your question. Mel x
Answer: Hello Mary, the modules are a recorded healing session with Melanie that you listen to. They are designed to help you connect with your body, experience your emotions productively so that you can release them and through this, help to connect with your wound and vulnerabilities so that you can heal them and will not be so susceptible to manipulative personalities. It's very easy and it doesn't require that you believe in past lives. You don't have to have a particular set of beleifs to use NARP. It's very flexible.
Answer: Hi Cecilia, it is 3 hours. Also, know that you can download the recording and watch it in chunks if necessary. I hope this helps. Mel x
Answer: Hi Natalie, I am not quite sure what your question is? Can you please email support@melanietoniaevans.com and one of my lovely staff can answer your questions for you. Cheers Melanie x
Answer: You may be able to identify core beliefs and where you feel these in your body.
Answer: I don't know if this answer will help you. But here goes. The Soul is a person. The Spirit is the communication to God through his son Jesus christ, so when we send our thoughts, feelings in Prayer it goes to the highest power God. We are born in his image, ( in other words a part of him) so we have the power in us to change by a thought (Quantum physics) and believeing it will be so, taking opportunity's that present themselves to you, thenyou will soon come to see how good thoughts can change one's life. What Mel is doing is tapping into that power. (Quantum Physics)
