Peeking into the complexities of a narcissist can arouse our curiosity. Dealing with them can arouse our sense of inadequacy, frustration, and hopelessness. Their sense of entitlement and arrogance, along with patterns that might include controlling, bullying, dismissiveness, criticalness, detachment, and betrayal, can find us forfeiting our own voices; our experiences, opinions, preferences, and needs.
Effecting change in your personal relationship with a narcissist is no easy feat with narcissists, as they're more likely to defend, deny, demean, devalue, attack, distract, and charm us rather than listen, cooperate, and comply with recommendations for professional help. But it is not impossible!
Maintaining a firm and flexible posture, understanding our own personal triggers - along with the narcissist's makeup - helps us to bypass obstacles when engaged with them, promoting an opportunity to hold the narcissist accountable, to set limits, to be 'heard'. In so doing, we change the dysfunctional dance; we cultivate the necessary leverage for influencing and promoting potential change. We reclaim a healthy sense of self.
Why you should Attend
Are you struggling with a narcissist in your life? Whether you are living under the same roof or living apart; trying to influence change in your relationship, set limits, design an exit strategy, address co-parenting challenges, divorcing a narcissist, dealing with narcissistic family members, and more. This webinar will offer a quick overview and take-away strategies to begin an action plan.
