A Master Class in Healing Your Narcissism
I received my license as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 1990. I was the Director, Clinical Supervisor, and a Staff Therapist with the Meier Clinics (formerly Minirth-Meier/ New Life Clinics) until the office was converted into a private practice in January, 2007. I have also adored working with Aged Out Foster Youth at Compassion Planet since 2013. I have been married since 1986. I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren.
How did I learn I was a narcissist?
It was 1987. I had been married for a year and my husband, Danny, pointed a few things out to me:
1. I was self-righteous and had never admitted a single mistake during our entire first year of marriage.
2. I had never apologized once even though he had shared all along what I was doing that was hurtful to him.
3. I turned everything around and accused him of the very things he was trying to talk to me about (massively defensive, gaslit him, projected things I was doing onto him).
The scary thing was that I was in graduate school to become a therapist! I got the help that I needed, and I am no longer a narcissist. I am so thankful that Danny didn’t read all of the hopeless misinformation when I was spending time working on my own narcissism. We have now been married for 38 years and Danny says he is one of the happiest married people that he knows, and we have many friends with very healthy, solid marriages so that is saying a lot! I have spent the last few decades as a psychotherapist helping narcissists and their spouses and partners after healing from my own covert narcissism. Narcissism has always been treatable. There is a ton of misinformation online about narcissism. Narcissists are being combined with psychopaths and sociopaths, and they are VERY DIFFERENT. The bottom line is that anyone who wants to can make significant changes which will improve their own lives and their relationships. I will share with you what it takes to heal from narcissism, and I will give you some quick tips of things you need to start doing and stop doing immediately to help your relationships improve. You will receive one video a week for 8 weeks. There will also be a Facebook group, and you can contact me if you get stuck.
