The primary emphasis will be on Narcissistic Personality Disorder & Antisocial Personality Disorder. Covert verses overt narcissism. What are the repetitive tactics of narcissistic abusers? Targeting, grooming & brainwashing. How do we help our clients recover? Working towards breaking secrecy, separating from the abuser\'s voice & message, regaining the lost self, boundary work, finding their voice & building a supportive network of friends. Looking at our own narcissism and our entitlement issues. Periodically throughout the day there will be opportunities for questions and answers, in addition to dyadic & small group work with vignettes.
