Narcissists are, by definition, self-centered, nasty users with no empathy — although they can often hide their miserable personalities, at least for a while. Unfortunately, millions of them live among us. How can you protect yourself from narcissists?
That’s exactly what counselor Mandy Friedman explains in her webinar on June 25, 2020, called, Tools for navigating narcissists and other manipulative people. Mandy knows about dealing with narcissists both from personal experience, and through working with survivors in her private practice. She will teach you to:
- Identify narcissists and manipulators
- Understand how manipulators choose their targets
- Build a toolbox for dealing with disordered personalities
- Spot and neutralize flying monkeys
- Protect yourself from narcissists through emotional shielding
First Mandy explains the observable personality traits and behavior patterns of disordered individuals. Then she explains how they select their targets — narcissists don’t look for weakness, they look for strength. For the bulk of the webinar, Mandy offers tips and strategies for interacting with exploiters, such as spotting induced communication tactics, implementing time limitations, and more.
The best way to deal with narcissists and other exploiters is to get them out of your life, but that is not always possible. If you have no choice but to interact with someone who has a personality disorder, you need this webinar. Learn more:
