Narcissistic abuse, a particularly insidious form of psychological manipulation, can leave deep emotional scars. At Narc & Co, we understand the profound impact this can have on your life. Our unique online mentoring service, designed to support you from the comfort of your own home, offers a compassionate, structured approach to recovery. With the guidance of our experienced mentors and the oversight of our founder, Nick Kerry, MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy and Addiction, our three-phase mentoring approach provides a flexible, individualised path to healing.
Understanding Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic abuse involves emotional manipulation by someone with narcissistic traits, often characterised by a lack of empathy and a need for control. This abuse can erode self-esteem, distort reality, and leave victims feeling isolated and powerless. Recognising the signs of narcissistic abuse is the first step toward recovery, and seeking support is crucial for reclaiming your life.
Narc & Co’s Three-Phase Approach to Narcissistic Abuse Therapy:
Our mentoring approach is designed to meet you where you are in your recovery journey, offering tailored support through three distinct phases. These phases provide a beginning, middle, and end to your healing process, ensuring a comprehensive and adaptable experience.
Phase 1: Phase of Exploration
The initial phase focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment. Our mentors will work with you to:
Establish Safety: Identify and implement strategies to ensure your physical and emotional safety.
Build Trust: Develop a trusting relationship with your mentor, who will provide consistent support and understanding.
Assess Needs: Conduct a thorough assessment of your current situation, emotional state, and specific needs to tailor the mentoring process.
Phase 2: In-Depth Psychoeducation
Once stability is achieved, the second phase involves delving deeper into the impact of narcissistic abuse and beginning the healing process:
Education: Learn about narcissistic abuse, its effects, and common patterns to gain a clearer understanding of your experiences.
Emotional Processing: Work through your emotions in a safe space, guided by your mentor. This may involve exploring feelings of anger, grief, and confusion.
Cognitive Restructuring: Challenge and reframe negative thought patterns instilled by the abuser, fostering a more positive self-image and healthier beliefs.
Phase 3: Aiding Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
The final phase of Narcissistic Abuse Therapy focuses on rebuilding your life, fostering personal growth, and empowering you to move forward with confidence:
Self-Discovery: Rediscover your strengths, values, and passions that may have been suppressed during the abusive relationship.
Skill Building: Develop practical skills for assertiveness, boundary-setting, and self-care to maintain healthy relationships in the future.
Future Planning: Set goals for your future, creating a roadmap for continued personal development and fulfillment beyond the mentoring process.
Flexibility and Individualised Support
At Narc & Co, we recognise that each individual's journey is unique. Our three-phase approach serves as a flexible guide, allowing for adjustments based on your specific needs and circumstances. There are no binding contracts or rigid timeframes; you have the freedom to discontinue at any point if you feel ready or wish to take a break.
Mentoring Agreement
Following your first session, you will receive a mentoring agreement outlining the responsibilities and expectations of both mentor and mentee. This agreement ensures clarity, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the recovery process.
