Treating “The Untreatable”: How To Transform Narcissistic Relationships

Join my LIVE COURSE on Working With Grandiosity here: bit.ly/3BPytNb
When it feels good to be grandiose….. How do you motivate narcissistic clients to change?
As therapists, we’re often taught to handle grandiose clients with kid gloves-to be nice, to nurture them. But, unfortunately, nurture alone isn’t enough to motivate them to change.
In this recorded webinar, I’ll guide you through understanding the full spectrum of narcissism, the cultural context that fuels it, and practical steps for building an alliance with grandiose clients. You’ll learn how to confront these clients constructively and lead them back to loving connections with themselves and others.
If you found this webinar helpful, please subscribe for more insights on working with challenging clients and transforming relationships.

I would love to have a look at the research showing that 50% are not based on shame and just an overevaluation of self. I'm not yet fully aware of overevaluation that isn't rooted in compensatory mechanisms. And haven't met a grandiose narcissist whose ego isn't fragile. If the notion of "I'm better than you" truly secure than it is not easily threatened by opposition or contrary evidence. Our overestimations of ourselves are corrected through lived experience, which is then integrated into our self assessment. Meaning it would naturally correct overestimations. However, when rooted in shame, the lived experience proving otherwise is a threat to be denied and may lead to narcissistic injury. So this piece I'd love to learn and understand more about.

There is a compulsive component to narcissism. Also an escape into dystopian fantasy. They're reality adjacent yet not quite in reality.

Hi Terry--I love your work. It would be great if you could give some acknowledgement to the foundational work of The Jean Baker Miller Institute
(JBM Towards a New Psychology of Women) and particularly to the seminal work of Dr Judith Jordan, who brilliantly framed and defined what"relational" means, and how a relationship with authenticity (and Zest!) is essential between therapist and patient.
