What You Will Learn
Hoovering examines the phenomenon of narcissists returning after a discard, often with renewed intensity, apparent remorse, or dramatic promises of change. Named after the vacuum cleaner brand, hoovering is a predictable phase of the narcissistic cycle designed to pull you back into the relationship and restore the narcissist's supply.
This book explains why narcissists come back, what they are actually seeking when they do, why the timing always seems to be exactly when you were finally starting to move on, and how to resist the pull even when part of you wants to believe that this time is different.
