Description
Grief and loss hit clients recovering from narcissistic abuse on multiple levels. From grieving a childhood of abuse and neglect to mourning the loss of the rosy-colored glasses that allowed victims to stay in a cycle of abuse -- grief echoes through all corners of the adult child of a narcissist’s life. In this session, you’ll view narcissistic abuse expert and best-selling author Amy Marlow-MacCoy, LPC as she gives you the skills and tools you need to recognize grief in a client’s anger, help them identify the losses of the past, present, and future, and come to terms with the ambiguity of grieving a person or relationship that may never be peacefully resolved.
