Addressing Narcissism in the Era of #MeToo

Healing the Wounds of Betrayal Trauma and Hypersexuality

 

Saturday, March 23

Part 1: 11:00am - 1:00pm

Part 2: 3:00pm - 5:00pm

Omni Shoreham Hotel

Washington, DC

 

I will be facilitating this seminar at the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium this year on behalf of Wendy Behary, as she will be, regretfully, unable to present this season.

 

The #MeToo movement has given countless survivors of sexual abuse and misconduct the validation they needed to seek treatment. But it’s also brought attention to the challenges of treating narcissistic perpetrators, often not of their own accord, who exhibit belligerence, self-righteous entitlement, denial, and arrogance. In addition to acts of abuse and harassment, narcissists often engage in serial affairs and hypersexual behaviors. In this workshop, you’ll learn proven methods for staying sturdy and empathic when addressing their bullying behavior and defiant denial, and healing the shame and trauma that often underlies their behavior and affects their relationships.

 

You’ll discover how to:

 

Help narcissistic clients resolve their early unmet needs, including unconditional love and acceptance, empathy, and tolerance for frustration

 

Work with narcissists involved in excessive sexual activity that includes pornography, cyber-sexual relationships, prostitutes, and affairs

 

Use leverage to rebuild fractured relationships between narcissists and those they’ve hurt

 

Validate the hurt partners of narcissists when doing couples therapy

By Paul DelGrosso • May 12, 2021
We all have a unique mix of schemas that are both healthy and problematic. If the problematic schemas are severe they can lead to chronic life problems across many life domains (including relationships, work/school functioning, self-confidence, and sense of self).
