In this episode Dr Supriya McKenna and Karin Walker continue their conversation with world renowned psychotherapist and educator Dr Elinor Greenberg. Elinor explains how to manage a narcissist using her 'narcissistic sandwich' technique. Karin describes how she uses this technique herself in her role as a family lawyer and a mediator, and highlights why it is so important for family law practitioners to understand that they are dealing with a narcissist, so that they can facilitate negotiations effectively. They discuss the concept of 'hoovering' and give tips for preparing to leave the narcissist, and how to prepare for narcissistic rage.
Dr Supriya is an Amazon no 1 bestselling author in the subject of narcissism, and the author of the new books Narcissists in Divorce: From Love-Locked to Leaving and The Narcissist Trap :The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders.
