Specialized Therapy for Those Affected by Narcissist or Emotionally Unbalanced Relationship Patterns

I have a specialized interest with working with people impacted by relationships involving someone with a Narcissistic personality style. This interest has me actively pursuing becoming a certified Narcissistic Abuse Clinician (NATC).

These personality styles are often referred to as emotionally immature, toxic, self-focused, and Narcissistic (including both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism). These relationships can come in many configurations; with a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, friend and boss/coworker.

Take a look at the following descriptions and see if any resonate with your current or past relationships.

Characteristics of this personality style often include: criticalness, entitlement, invalidation, reactivity  and hypersensitivity to perceived slights or insults

Common experiences of being in a relationship with this personality style are; manipulation, control, invalidation, wants/needs disregarded, degradation, lack of empathy, and gaslighting

These relationships often leave people feeling confused, anxious, depressed, defeated, lonely, and with self-doubt.

If any of these descriptors have resonated with you, and you believe that you may be in or have been in a relationship with this personality style, there is hope.

Recovery and empowerment include understanding key characteristics and dynamics of these relationships, investigating and understanding how one gets drawn into these relationships and how they get stuck. If the relationship was with a parent, recovery occurs with understanding the questions of how the parent impacted our attachment style, behavior patterns, thinking and coping strategies. Together we can find a path forward that leads to healing and transformation.
