Darren Elliott — Therapist, Storyteller, and Creator of The Narcissism Recovery Project Darren Elliott is a Canadian psychotherapist, educator, and author of The Narcissism Recovery Project (coming Fall 2025)—a groundbreaking book and movement that explores how emotional immaturity, relational trauma, and cultural disconnection create what we call narcissism today. He brings warmth, clarity, and radical compassion to one of the most misunderstood mental health topics of our time. Darren’s work is rooted in lived experience. A survivor of narcissistic abuse in both his family and spiritual community, Darren now helps others make sense of the chaos they’ve survived—whether in their relationships, their churches, or their countries. His unique perspective blends trauma therapy, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt work, and political psychology, bridging the gap between personal healing and cultural reckoning. He’s also the heart behind The Friends of Doreen Show, a social healing series where his drag persona, Doreen Devine—a recovering narcissist, singing drag queen comedian—tells the truth in rhinestones. Doreen’s goal? To make healing accessible, queer-inclusive, and emotionally honest—especially for those recovering from the narcissistic gaslighting of political and spiritual movements. Darren is the founder of OnlineTherapyOntario.com, CoachingForNarcissism.com, LGBTQtherapy.ca, and FriendsOfDoreen.com and others - coming soon TheNarcissismRecoveryProject.com His message is especially relevant in this moment of collective upheaval. He draws a clear line between emotional abuse in families and emotional abuse in politics—between personal trauma and the rise of narcissistic leaders who manipulate with fear, distort truth, and divide communities. 💬 “Americans are Americans first. The real enemy is emotional disconnection, not each other.” socials-------- in:https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-elliott-74165b199/?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app fb:httphttps://www.facebook.com/DarrenEToronto? mibextid=PtKPJ9s://www.youtube.com/@DarrenElliottToronto donate to the wrestle for the cure 2026 battle of the belt https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?px=8869237&fr_id=162867&pg=personal JOIN MY TEAM ANXIETY FACEBOOK GROUP!!!!!!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1582057112573164/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
