Combining professional knowledge with lived experience, McBean and Rych deliver an empowering message: healing is possible, and survivors are not alone.
“Narcissistic abuse leaves long-lasting scars that most people can’t imagine,” says co-author Dr. Mishel Rych. “We wrote this book to validate survivors’ experiences and offer them practical tools for healing.”
Chasing Rescue covers the emotional and mental toll of toxic relationships while guiding readers through the stages of awareness, empowerment, and freedom. The book provides tools and strategies to help readers rebuild their lives, regain their confidence, and participate actively in their own healing journey.

Mishel Rych, PhD, LCSW, M.Ed. is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of experience helping individuals overcome emotional abuse and relational trauma.


Their collaboration offers a unique and deeply personal take on recovery—grounded in both academic knowledge and the raw realities of surviving narcissistic abuse.
“You can heal yourself,” the authors write, “but you must participate in your own rescue.”

With growing awareness around mental health and toxic relationships, this timely book is a must-read for those ready to reclaim their power and rebuild their lives.
