Exploring the Essential Features of “The Other Person In the Therapy Room: Attending to the Person of the Therapist When Treating Narcissistic Abuse Survivors – Amy Marlow-MaCoy”

Working with narcissists and the survivors of their abuse is hard…   

Countertransference, loss of objectivity, power struggles, and boundary violations can halt therapeutic progress and leave the therapist feeling emotionally triggered, frustrated, and even burned out.   

In this must-see session, Amy Marlow-MaCoy, LPC, author of bestseller, The Gaslighting Recovery Workbook: Healing from Emotional Abuse, will guide you through developing compassionate awareness of your own “stuff”, including unhealed inner child wounds and relational trauma, ensuring not only the best therapeutic environment for your clients but also prevention of burnout and compassion fatigue.
