Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Living with or being affected by narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) can be incredibly challenging and complex. If you or someone you care about is navigating this condition, please know that you are not alone, and your experiences are valid. NPD is a mental health condition characterized by a pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. It can impact relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
Navigating relationships with someone who has NPD can be emotionally taxing and may leave you feeling invalidated or manipulated. It's important to prioritize your own mental health and set boundaries to protect yourself. Seeking support from therapists who specialize in personality disorders can offer guidance and coping strategies tailored to your specific situation.
If you have NPD, acknowledging and seeking help for your condition is a brave and essential step toward healing and personal growth. With therapy and dedication, it is possible to develop healthier coping mechanisms, cultivate empathy, and build more fulfilling relationships. Remember, you are deserving of understanding, compassion, and support on your journey towards well-being.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
If you have experience with a narcissist, it's important to seek out tools to defend and protect yourself against the harmful effects of narcissistic abuse on your mental health. NPD is a complex spectrum disorder which significantly impacts the victims and survivors of it. I teach my client about NPD and the effect it may have had on them, as well as how to cope with and overcome narcissistic abuse. I provide a safe, nurturing, and compassionate space for my clients to explore their history with narcissistic partners, family members, friends, and/or colleagues. Using a variety of carefully selected approaches, my goal is to empower others to protect themselves and heal from the trauma they have sustained or are currently living with. You are not alone, you are not "crazy", and help is available to you.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Narcissism, to a certain extent, permeates our outer world and even our inner selves. This self-centeredness often stems from deep soul wounds and a desire to fill inner emptiness by dominating and diminishing others. Addressing the root causes of this hurt can potentially eliminate these tendencies at their source, freeing narcissistic individuals from prolonged suffering. Narcissistic behavior is a defense mechanism, shielding individuals from facing the insecurities and vulnerabilities caused by their deep wounding. By exploring these underlying insecurities and vulnerabilities in therapy, individuals can come to understand themselves and the offenses against them better, develop healthier coping mechanisms and hold a more balanced sense of self. This process can also lead to greater empathy, understanding, and healthier relationships with others. Being released from the hold of the anger that caused the emptiness in the first place, is Daniel’s central intent when working with those who have narcissistic attributes.
