Treating Narcissism
Shame is the invisible, unacknowledged driver of narcissism which the culture at large avoids.
Psychologist, Author, and Educator, Patricia Gianotti, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist, author, lecturer, and educator. She is the Academic Director of The Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy at Loyola University Chicago.
She believes the art and practice of psychotherapy begins by creating a solid and safe therapeutic relationship. When you create a safe, relational container the unfolding process of therapy can occur, and it is out of that safe space that therapist and client can gradually begin to explore past relational injuries, uncover repressed memories that inhibit growth and development, grieve what was lost, and discover aspects of the self that were either unknown or forbidden to exist.
