Healing as the Adult Child of a Narcissist

If you are an adult child of narcissistic parents seeking therapy to support your healing and personal growth, it is important to have the right support from the right therapist. Sometimes, the key difference between a therapist who is not an expert in narc abuse and one that is, is simply first-hand experience with narcissistic abuse. Here are some key points to consider when attempting to heal from this type of lifetime narcissistic abuse;
