Unmasking Narcissism
Copyright :
Many clinicians struggle to treat narcissism because it’s so often misunderstood—and in the case of covert narcissism, frequently overlooked. More troubling still, this lack of understanding often leaves therapists unprepared for the deeper work: helping narcissists of all stripes take responsibility for the damage they do in both love and life. But if you know what to look for, there are inflection points: moments that can make or break the treatment. Once you learn to spot them, working with even the most defensive or combative clients becomes far easier—and far less daunting. Drawing on recent research and new insights into covert narcissism, this workshop offers practical strategies for growth and transformation in narcissistic clients. You’ll discover:
- A four-stage model for reducing defensiveness and reaching narcissistic clients, whether they're aggressively bombastic or quietly withdrawn.
- Powerful tools to help narcissistic clients express emotion and form secure attachments.
- How to avoid common therapeutic pitfalls and foster genuine connection—even with the most challenging presentations
