UNDERSTANDING NARCISSISM
.png)
Are you trying to make sense of the behaviours of the 'difficult' person in your life? Have you blamed yourself, and tried harder to be 'better' for them? Have you made excuses for them, and given them endless chances, resolving to always take the higher ground? Just when you are about to give up on them, do they offer you a glimmer of hope that things can get better? Hope that you seized upon, relieved - until the the disappointment returned?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a real, diagnosable personality disorder, and it's surprisingly common. Narcissism is not about vanity, selfishness or outward arrogance - and thinking about it like this just undermines the seriousness of what it really is. Through her online courses, available here, or through direct coaching, Dr Supriya McKenna will teach you everything you need to know, whether the suspected narcissist you know is your parent, child, sibling, partner, work colleague or friend. You are not alone.

"I'll admit that I was a skeptic, and that I thought that Narcissism was just a 'buzzword'. But when my sister gave me the Demystifying The Narcissist course, so that I could understand what she was going through with her partner, I reluctantly started it. Not only did I find myself fascinated, but it perfectly described every facet of him - it was actually uncanny. I definitely feel more equipped to support her now I understand the motivations behind his behaviours, and that he won't change. Weirdly, understanding the origins of Narcissistic Personality DIsorder makes me feel that I am less 'judgy' when it comes to him too - and at least I am calling him the RIGHT name now!"

"As a psychologist myself, I will be recommending this course to my clients. So many people present to me for therapy, thinking that the problem is with them, when actually, they have been experiencing narcissistic abuse at home or at work. This is the kind of abuse that is hard to spot if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. It's subtle and it can happen to anyone, no matter how intelligent or accomplished you are."
"The Demystifying The Narcissist Course is brilliant. It's informative, interesting and well delivered, and I LOVE the artwork! I still return to the workbook to note down more examples of behaviour which I now realise I had been trying to ignore. 5 stars."
