THE BLIGHT OF NARCISSISM

Narcissistic people are self-absorbed to the point that they fail to recognise the feelings and worth of others. Living and working with such people takes its toll if you haven't the strength and self-belief to rise above the narcissist's behaviour and maintain your own sense of self-worth.

Do you regularly find yourself experiencing the following emotions and feelings when in the company of certain people?:

* Frustrated
* Angry
* Belittled
* Worthless
* Fearful
* Doubtful
* Guilty
* Shameful
* Disrespected
* Undermined.

Narcissists always know best and those who do not accept their superior judgement are perceived to be 'wrong' and 'flawed'. Moreover, narcissists feel compelled to 'prove' to others exactly what it is that makes their position or beliefs 'wrong' in the narcissist's eyes and will resort to a variety of manipulative tactics to bully their 'opponent' into submission.

Existing alongside such people can be an extremely draining and emotionally fraught experience if your core sense of self-worth is not solid and impervious to their adamant insistence that they are right and you are wrong. Constant exposure to their demanding and inherently selfish ways can drag you down to the point that you begin to doubt your competence and ability to make even the most basic decisions without the narcissist's approval.

If you feel that your life is out of control - that you have been 'battered' into accepting someone else's blueprint for living at the expense of your own ideals, or if your home-life is a battlefield of demands versus resistance, help is available.

Hypnotherapy cannot help you to change a narcissist or make them see the error of their ways. It can, however, assist you in learning how to better manage your relationship with such people in a way that benefits your emotional health and which ultimately will bring positive change to the way you feel about yourself and your place in the world.
