Description: Dive into the complexities of narcissistic relationships through case studies and therapeutic techniques. Learn how to help couples navigate emotional barriers, develop empathy, and build deeper intimacy by understanding the developmental roots of narcissistic behavior and practicing effective differentiation strategies.
Syllabus Description: Some narcissists want to be adored without giving much in return. Others make outrageous demands. Couples therapists are continually challenged to remain centered and not get derailed by their defensive styles. In this workshop, we will discuss how to promote recovery and repair, how to confront and how to increase differentiation to sustain long-term change.
