People who have grown up with a narcissistic parent or who have lived with an extremely narcissist person often face similar challenges including:
- Believing that their experience was maladaptive, difficult or unusual
- Knowing good ways of having conflict with those close to them
- Giving proper weight to their own wishes and desires
I’ve had a long standing interest in working with individuals with either Narcissistic Parent or other significant person with Narcissism.
Please contact me if you’d like to explore issues around dealing with narcissism.
