Should They Stay or Should They Go? Working with Ambivalent Clients Experiencing Antagonistic/Narcissistic Relationships
Copyright :
Sitting with clients who are being negatively impacted by a narcissist is hard because it can seem like leaving is the obvious solution...but not all clients are willing or able to do that.
In this must-attend session, Ramani Durvasula, PhD, LCP, highly sought-after narcissism expert, researcher, and author of Should I Stay or Should I Go: Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist, will provide guidance on this ambivalence and the factors that make choice complex. She will then discuss techniques to consider in working with these clients, frame psychoeducational approaches, and highlight awareness of our presence in the client’s process as well as the errors clinicians may make while working with clients at these difficult decisional nodes.
