Narcissistic Personality Disorder can have a significant impact on an individual’s life and relationships.
At Guiding Light Psychology, we understand the impact that narcissistic personality disorder can have on an individual’s life and relationships. Our therapists work with individuals to identify the underlying causes of their narcissism and develop strategies for managing their symptoms. Therapy may include cognitive-behavioural techniques to help individuals challenge negative thought patterns and improve their self-esteem.
It’s important to note that individuals with narcissistic personality disorder may be resistant to seeking treatment or acknowledging that they have a problem. In these cases, family or loved ones may need to intervene and encourage the individual to seek help. At Guiding Light Psychology, we work with families and loved ones to develop a plan of action for supporting individuals with narcissistic personality disorder and encouraging them to seek treatment.
We believe that with the right treatment and support, individuals with narcissistic personality disorder can learn to manage their symptoms and develop healthy relationships.
