Relationships Matter
Studies show that at the end of life, the quality of your intimate relationships determines much of how you feel about your life.
Work towards overcoming your defences that push others away and prevent deep trust, impairing intimacy.
I work with diagnosed and self-diagnosed clients who experience narcissism. It doesn’t matter what we call it, the work is in personal development, being able to deal with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them, developing awareness of your own processes and your impact on others, working on relationship skills, nurturing our kind and loving parts and letting our wise adult take over from our inner angry child who sabotages relationships. Relationships matter. Invest in yours. You don’t have to do this alone, doing this alone is part of what happened., we all need someone in our inner circle.
Watch the video below for a hopeful take on narcissism.
Narcissism is widely misunderstood.
I work with narcissism.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Acceptance brings change.
This is a relational disorder, and often invisibly impacts the entire family system and sphere of influence..
Whatever you grew up with may feel “normal” to you, even if it was toxic.
Many “perfect” families aren’t perfect at all. Emotional connection and feeling securely loved, seen and understood are human needs that can get cut off by defences.
If you can’t or won’t deal with your own negative emotions, then you also cannot feel with others in their negative emotions. This is a. lack of emotional intimacy. Another human may experience this as a lack of connection you don’t even know about, triggering other painful human responses in them. Narcissism can trigger borderline defences, for example.
“Talk with me about your experience and find out what it would be like to work together.”
“We need a balance of self-focus and other-focus. Self-focus increases with trauma, just like when you stub your toe.”

Learning to Co-create
You like to think that you can handle your thoughts and challenges all alone but here’s the truth. You too are a pack animal who needs to lean on others and let them lean on you. Your need to be strong alone or to deal with your inner emotions alone may have impaired your deep connection with others. Learn the strength of vulnerability and take your power back when it comes to needing attention or approval or influence over others by connecting in deeper, more authentic ways. Develop your belonging and acceptance of yourself and others.
Humans need Love, Belonging, and Freedom to be who we are to thrive.
All of us.
Even you.
If these needs are not met, we will develop mechanisms to deal with these shortcomings that may impair our relationships outside of our awareness.
In Coaching for Narcissism, we nurture positive emotions and develop skills to deal with rather than avoid or suppress negative ones. We learn to process emotions with others safely through support as we develop stronger relational skills with ourselves and others.
Narcissism is highly misunderstood and judged. This condition lives in secrecy, often coming from needing to be strong or perfect all alone. This is not ideal for us pack animals, but was often our only choice. Healing does not happen alone, this is a reflection of relational trauma, often intergenerational, causing separation in relationships. Healing is relational.
