Managing the Fallout of Narcissistic Abuse
It’s essential that clinicians understand not just the phenomenon of narcissistic abuse (or antagonistic relational abuse), but the fallout from it (the distress, discomfort, and dysfunction). In this workshop, we’ll explore the nature of narcissism and antagonism as a personality style; how it shows up in relationships; the vulnerabilities people have to getting stuck in these relationships; and techniques for working with these clients suffering narcistic abuse. You'll learn an intuitive and actionable road map that you can use with clients in high-conflict divorces and workplace-abuse cases. You’ll discover:
- How to identify the characteristics of narcissistic abuse that are often misdiagnosed
- Specific vulnerabilities to entering and getting stuck in relationships characterized by narcissistic abuse
- An actionable treatment approach—applicable to any practice—that includes psychoeducation, assessment, fostering radical acceptance, and striving for growth
- Ethical issues in working with clients experiencing narcissistic abuse
