Navigating narcissism in couples therapy presents unique challenges. Narcissistic partners often display control, entitlement, defensiveness, and emotional detachment, while their partners may struggle with self-doubt, self-sacrifice, and fear of conflict.

Wendy will guide you through how to use Schema Therapy—a flexible, evidence-based approach that combines both individual and conjoint work to break destructive patterns and foster healing.
