The United States of Disconnection is not just a book about narcissism—it’s a cultural wake-up call wrapped in compassion. Psychotherapist Darren Elliott gently reveals how the same emotional abuse patterns we see in toxic relationships are now playing out on a national scale—through politics, religion, social media, and even family life. But instead of blame or shame, he offers understanding, personal stories, and a pathway to healing—both individually and together. This book helps readers recognize the narcissistic behaviors they’ve normalized, and shows them how to reconnect—with empathy, with loved ones, and with themselves. It’s for anyone wondering, “What happened to us?”—and ready to be part of the answer.
