Targeting the Defenses That Sustain Narcissism
Strategies to Help You Approach a Client’s Grandiosity, Entitlement, and Lack of Self Awareness
Treating narcissism can be complex and multi-faceted. That’s because many of the hallmark behaviors of narcissism are the very ones that create enormous barriers to change.
Creating a therapeutic alliance in the face of defensiveness, denial, and a lack of self-awareness can sometimes feel like a hopeless cause. It can also seem uniquely challenging to execute even the gentlest intervention without activating the client’s defenses.
So to help clients release the grip of this toxic cycle, we need to:
- Understand the neurobiological components that are often at the root of narcissistic or grandiose behaviors
- Implement approaches that help us work with the attachment wounds (and underlying shame) that can lead to narcissism
- Integrate strategies that can dissolve narcissistic defenses and foster the vulnerability that is often so central to healing
- Resource ourselves to manage our own reactivity – especially when we begin to feel activated in session
We consulted 22 of the top experts in the field to share practical strategies for working with clients who struggle with narcissism and grandiosity. The result is this brand new course.
