Survive & Thrive... TIME FOR CHANGE!
Narcissism is a self-centered personality style characterized by an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs, often at the expense of others. Named after the Greek mythological figure Narcissus , who fell in love with his own reflection, narcissism has evolved into a psychological concept studied extensively since the early 20th century and is deemed highly relevant in various societal domains.

Narcissism exists on a continuum that ranges from normal to abnormal personality expression. While many psychologists believe a moderate degree of narcissism is normal and healthy in humans, there are also more extreme forms, observable particularly in people who have a personality condition like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), where narcissistic qualities become pathological, leading to functional impairment and psychosocial disability.


► Do you want to get out of a toxic relationship? Do you think your partner, boss or friend is a narcissist? High control, low empathy, manipulative behaviors, attitude of entitlement… these traits (and more) describe the narcissist. A close relationship with a narcissist can often bring out the worst in you. So how do you maintain your sanity when the other person’s goal is to subordinate you? Dr. Les Carter advises how to contend with his/her toxicity and survive.

► Danish Bashir, M A Clinical Psychology, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach & Certified Trauma Specialist teaches you how to move on, recover, heal, thrive and transform into your greatest version possible. He explains the different facets of narcissistic abuse and resultant trauma using a humanistic approach which doesn't degrade you with labels like "codependent" and "people pleaser." From awareness to resolution, Bashir helps develop a thorough understanding of "What you have been through,” "How it has affected you as a person" and "How you can use it to transform yourself."

How a Narcissist Confuses first, then Controls You? (It is Scary!)

A narcissist is an “evil hypnotist.” The process of narcissistic abuse is similar to a hypnotic trance induced by a hypnotist to his subject.

A narcissist sows confusion, then controls by love bombing and then becomes distant, leaving you wondering what you did wrong and, finally, takes advantage of your situation.
