Narcissism and Echoism - Training Video

What is the difference between healthy self-worth and narcissism - and when can putting ourselves first become damaging or abusive to others?

This over 2-hour instant-access online training takes a fresh and thought-provoking look at narcissism, exploring the spectrum from healthy self-worth and self-care through to behaviours that can cause significant harm within relationships.

Pauline Andrew explores the experience of living with a narcissistic parent, the impact of narcissistic behaviours and the process of recovering from abusive relationships.

The training also introduces Echoism - a way of relating in which our own needs and sense of self can become diminished as we focus on supporting or protecting the ego of another. This offers another valuable perspective for understanding relationship dynamics and the impact they can have on a client's sense of self.
