I've been indundated with requests from people who want help determining whether their partner is a narcissist or not, and I'm so pleased to be able to bring you my online course which will help you to do just that. With 41 engaging videos, this course has a question and explanation format which helps you to take a deep dive into your feelings, your partner's behaviours, your health, and you partner's relationship with the children (if there are any). There are over 200 questions to consider with an accompanying workbook for your answers.
If you are considering divorce (or leaving) it's essential to know whether your partner is someone who would qualify for a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, because they will ramp up their abuse upon being left - causing chaos and misery, potentially for years. Being able to pre-empt the issues and stay one one step ahead will make an enormous difference to how your divorce progresses. However, incorrectly labelling your spouse as a narcissist will cause unnecessary issues, acrimony and cost.
Even if you are not thinking about leaving, knowing for sure whether your partner is a narcissist or not will to help you work out what to do moving forwards - because, as you probably know, you cannot 'cure' a narcissist, and things will not permanently improve.
You can find the course on https://www.doctorsupriya.com/onlinecourses or here.
Are you trying to make sense of the behaviours of the 'difficult' person in your life? Have you blamed yourself, and tried harder to be 'better' for them? Have you made excuses for them, and given them endless chances, resolving to always take the higher ground? Just when you are about to give up on them, do they offer you a glimmer of hope that things can get better? Hope that you seized upon, relieved - until the the disappointment returned?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a real, diagnosable personality disorder, and it's surprisingly common. Narcissism is not about vanity, selfishness or outward arrogance - and thinking about it like this just undermines the seriousness of what it really is. With the 'Narcissist' word becoming a buzzword these days, it's hard to find information that is actually correct - and trawling around angry, judgmental or contradictory articles online can be frustrating and confusing.
It's important to understand if you are dealing with a narcissist, regardless of what your relationship is with them. Only then can you stop blaming yourself for their behaviour, grasp their limitations and become empowered to live your own life fully and authentically.
You cannot heal from narcissistic abuse unless you fully understand what it is that you have experienced.
Perhaps you are wondering if the difficult person in your life
is a narcissist. Or perhaps you
know that you are dealing with a narcissist but are struggling to explain to those around you what narcissism actually means.

"As a psychologist myself, I will be recommending this course to my clients. So many people present to me for therapy, thinking that the problem is with them, when actually, they have been experiencing narcissistic abuse at home or at work. This is the kind of abuse that is hard to spot if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. It's subtle and it can happen to anyone, no matter how intelligent or accomplished you are."
"The Demystifying The Narcissist Course is brilliant. It's informative, interesting and well delivered, and I LOVE the artwork! I still return to the workbook to note down more examples of behaviour which I now realise I had been trying to ignore. 5 stars."
"I knew my ex-husband was an extremely 'difficult' man, but taking this course has made finally helped me understand why he behaves the way he does. I had one lightbulb moment after another as I recognised every single one of his behaviours deconstructed and described in such detail - honestly, it was like the whole course was about just him!"
"I literally cried my way through this course as 40 years of confusion started to fall away. All my life I have blamed myself for never being good enough for my mother, but now I 'get' her, and I know that whatever I do, her disappointment in me actually has nothing to with me. This course is easy to understand, and Supriya's in depth knowledge is delivered with empathy and warmth. I just wish it had been available sooner."
"The information contained in this course should be mandatory learning for everybody. I knew nothing about NPD until I was in my late thirties. It actually now feels like I must have been sleepwalking through life. Trying to cope with a toxic work colleague is what originally brought me here, but what I learned has really opened my eyes to the other toxic people in my life, who have caused such drama."
"I'll admit that I was a skeptic, and that I thought that Narcissism was just a 'buzzword'. But when my sister bought the
Demystifying The Narcissist course for me, so that I could understand what she was going through with her partner, I reluctantly started it. Not only did I find myself fascinated, but it perfectly described every facet of him - it was actually uncanny. I definitely feel more equipped to support her now I understand the motivations behind his behaviours, and that he won't change. Weirdly, understanding the origins of Narcissistic Personality DIsorder makes me feel that I am less 'judgy' when it comes to him too - and at least I am calling him the RIGHT name now!"
