Dr. Emily Clark is a highly respected clinical psychologist with over twenty years of experience specializing in personality disorders and emotional abuse recovery. With a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Stanford University, she has dedicated her professional life to helping individuals regain their sense of self after enduring narcissistic abuse.
After witnessing the widespread need for accessible and practical tools for abuse victims, she wrote "The Phoenix Path: Rising from the Ashes of Narcissistic Abuse" to empower readers with the knowledge and strategies to escape toxic relationships and rebuild their lives.
Drawing from her rich experience in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse, Dr. Clark has a deep understanding of the pain and confusion that victims often experience. Her compassionate approach is felt in her writing as she guides readers through their healing journey, offering evidence-based advice combined with encouraging affirmations and self-reflection prompts.
In addition to her book, Dr. Clark also runs a successful therapy practice and provides workshops and seminars to promote understanding of narcissistic abuse and emotional healing. Her passion for helping others is a common thread in her work, and she is a firm believer in the power of resilience and self-love in overcoming adversity.
Her mission is to shine a light on narcissistic abuse, help victims understand that they are not alone, and give them the tools to rise into a life of strength, freedom, and self-love.

Target audience
Age: Primarily adults between the ages of 25 to 60.
Gender: While narcissistic abuse can impact individuals of all genders, statistically, women are more likely to be victims of this type of abuse.

Design needs
Design: The book's cover should stand out among the other books in the same niche (narcissist abuse recovery). I've attached a screenshot of the books appearing in the search results for this keyword on Amazon: "narcissist abuse recovery". These books sell, which means their covers are attractive. Use this as a reference (feel free to go yourself on amazon to have a better look), but make our cover stand out. The title itself is a source of inspiration, with its reference to the phoenix rising from the ashes. Use it. The theme of narcissism and the desire to free oneself from it should be present. I've also uploaded specific covers amongst the competition just as a source of inspiration. I like Inspiration/Competition 5 & 6 the most. We need to be better! Be aware that some books sell a lot because they have a community (social networks) behind them and not because of their cover. This is not our case. Our cover will be one of our greatest tool to sell the book. Help us :)
Format: 5x8 ratio. Original source vector file with well structured layers.
What to avoid
Don't send a flattened image file. I need the original vector source with well structured layers so that I can make some adjustments later if needed.
