The Legacy of Narcissistic Parenting
An essential CPD for any therapist. Helping to understand the effects of Narcissistic Parents. This 2 hr CPD that will give you a broad awareness on this subject to be able to incorporate into your daily work.
All families with a narcissistic parent are dysfunctional and the ongoing effects of having been raised by a narcissistic are pernicious and often lifelong.
You will almost certainly have come across such clients. If you haven’t had any experience of being in a narcissistic relationship or having a narcissistic parent, then it can be very difficult to recognise this or to know how to help them. So how can you recognise that, help the client to understand how this continues to affect them and ultimately help them to move on?
Wendy Gregory is widely regarded as an expert on this topic and this course will give you a thorough understanding of how a narcissistic parent views and treats their children as well as the resulting difficulties those children experience. It can be bought as a stand alone course, or purchased as a packet with two previous courses: 'Working With Narcissism' and 'Understanding And Working With Codependent Clients.'
What You Will Learn On This Course
You will briefly recap the fundamental traits of people with Narcissistic Disorder before exploring just how narcissists view their children. You will gain an understanding of how the narcissistic parent presents themselves and their family to the outside world and just how different things are behind closed doors. The following questions will be considered:
Is there a difference between the way narcissistic mothers and fathers treat their children?
Are all children treated the same?
What are the devastating effects on children of having a narcissistic parent and how does this impact on them as children?
How does this affect children as they grow up and how does it impact their adult relationships?
Finally you will be given a number of ways in which to support and treat your clients, leading to them having happier. More fulfilled lives.
