This additional online training session gives us time to look in more depth at
narcissism and what a relationship with a narcissist might look like
In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy
Online Masterclass
[https://www.humangivens.com/college/couples-therapy-a-practical-masterclass-live-online-training/] is
all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. But
sometimes additional knowledge is needed, as in the case of relationships where
narcissism is a suspected factor, to help a therapist assess more quickly and
meaningfully the relationship dynamic and specific challenges involved, thus
allowing them to help the couple more effectively to find a constructive and
compassionate way forward and out of their current difficulties.
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
The term ‘narcissist’ is often bandied about and narcissism is frequently
covered in the media – but is this language over-used or misused? It’s great
that awareness is being raised generally about narcissism and the impacts it can
have on a relationship, but it’s important to be well informed. As a result of
this increased awareness, more people are seeking information and answers to
their own experiences, as well as about the causes of their own relationship
difficulties and what they can do about them. As part of that process they may
well seek some counselling or therapy so it’s important that, as therapists, our
knowledge, skillset and stories are as up-to-date and relevant as possible to
best serve our clients.
If you already work with couples, in your private practice or employed role, and
you want some more detailed insight into narcissism and how to spot it, as well
as some of the additional relationship challenges it brings, this live online
training is for you..

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
* What is a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) – and what are the criteria
for clinical diagnosis
* What specific unkind or manipulative behaviours in relationships can be
classed as narcissism – and when should we really not use that term
* Why the reports of narcissistic emotional abuse in relationships are
significantly on the increase – and how (or whether) this parallels family,
relationship and societal changes
* If it’s not narcissism, what else could be causing the dysfunctional
relationship pattern?
* The truths and myths of the nature vs nurture debate in relation to NPD
* How to spot narcissism when both partners are in your therapy room
* How to spot NPD when only one partner is in your therapy room
* Why it’s usually the co-dependant partner, rather than the one with
narcissistic personality traits, that instigates therapy
* How to support an abused partner to exit a narcissistic relationship – OR to
remain in it if he/she won’t or can’t leave
* How to identify which needs are not being met for one or both partners of a
couple – and strategies to quickly change that
* Tools and checklists to keep your clients emotionally and physically safe as
you support a rise in their self-esteem, self-compassion and emotional needs
being met more healthily
* The common language (media and social media) for NPD-related behaviours
* How to raise children (separately or together) when one parent has NPD – the
critical Do’s and Don’ts
* Additional resources to steer your clients towards – plus recommended reading
for you as a therapist
* And more…
You will also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and benefit from
those asked by other people.
