Overview
Navigating the complexities of narcissistic clients can be as fascinating as it is demanding. These individuals often present as intelligent, charismatic and brimming with self-confidence. However, their demeanor can quickly shift to self-absorption, arrogance and a lack of empathy, challenging even the most seasoned clinicians. Their sense of entitlement and condescending attitudes make therapeutic engagement a delicate balance.
This workshop, led by Dr Wendy Behary, psychologist with 25+ years of experience, offers a transformative approach to working with such clients. Delve into advanced clinical techniques designed to establish a firm, empathetic foundation for setting necessary boundaries and holding narcissistic individuals accountable. Through a focus on schema therapy complemented by diverse strategies, you'll gain a comprehensive toolkit for treating narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
You'll also explore the integration of interpersonal neurobiology principles into your practice. This will enhance your understanding of your client's unique schemas and modes, offering deeper insights into their behavior. Additionally, the workshop emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal development. By recognizing and managing your own triggers, you can avoid intense reactions and maintain a therapeutic stance that benefits both you and your client.
