Even when a narcissistic person is strong-willed and coercive toward you, it is still possible for you to respond with firmness and confidence. You need not collapse into feelings of defeat and tension. This course will provide the necessary strategies that will allow you to live with:
- Self-respect over insecurity
- Self-trust over fear
- Assertiveness over suppression
- and Equality over inferiority,
You CAN be at your best despite the narcissist’s efforts to keep you down.
No one likes being manipulated and dismissed. Instead we prefer freedom to be who we are meant to be. This course will offer clear instruction so you can find strength to make choices consistent with your free-will instead of feeling like you are duty-bound to conform to a narcissist’s agenda. You will be challenged to rethink your self-defeating responses to the narcissist, acting instead upon clearly identified alternatives of behavior, communication, and attitude.
Living with a narcissist can prompt you to question your own sanity since you know that your preferred choices will be persistently squashed. But if you want to live a life consistent with your truth, and if you want to maintain self-respect, this course will give you the tools to stand up cleanly for your dignity. You will receive clear behavioral directives to help you break free from reactions that keep you feeling chronically inhibited.
Who this course is for:
- If you have been controlled and invalidated by a significant other, leaving you feeling emotionally wrung out or powerless, this course will set you onto the path toward personal empowerment.

This has been such a balanced, pragmatic help to learn how to grow in a difficult relationship. This has given me strong tools and direction! I am grateful!!
Ann Atkinson –
For me it consolidated what I have been learning about narcissism on You Tube for the last 2 years. I feel I understand the behaviour more and have learnt how to deal with it and rise above it. With understanding I can accept there is nothing I can do to change their behaviour and move on.
Janine McQueen –
This course is excellent.
Dr. Carter explains things so well on the difficulties interacting with a person with narcissistic tendencies.
The only person that I can do anything about is myself.
I highly recommend this course.
Kelly Collins –
Very clear and helpful to keep focused on the salient points. These sessions keep me grounded and in reality in dealing with a narcissistic personality in my life. Thank you for helping make sense of all this and providing this education.

I thought this course was amazing when I was only part way through it but now that I have finished, it goes way beyond that!! The information that Dr. Carter presented will be put to good use in my daily life and the lives of those around me. I had never heard of such a thing before but as I did the course, it was as if so many people I have known throughout my life were being described. I can’t begin to explain how much having this information means to me. I now know that, since I was born, I have always had at least a few Narcissists in my life. Some came and went and some were more constant. I never understood why I was so different than those who fit into this scenario, but now I know. Just one of the many things that Dr. Carter said was as if he knew me personally, even though he doesn’t. It was something about a narcissist trying to break your spirit and in my case; I had someone openly say that they had been trying to do just that, since I was a small child. That happened when I was in my early 20’s and at the time I had asked this person, why I was treated the way I was, growing up. Now I have an explanation for why, that makes more sense than the one I always thought it was. I had always felt bad for this person because I couldn’t imagine treating someone the way I was treated and then being able to look in a mirror and have any kind of love for myself much less be proud of who I was. I never hated or disliked this person but I suppose children can be naive and I sure was. That was just one of the many cases of having a narcissist in my life throughout the years…but I am not here to write a book. : ) Anyway, with that…there is so much I have gotten from this course that I will always be grateful for! Dr. Carter, you have changed my life forever in such a positive way that a simple thank you doesn’t seem like enough but it’s all I have to offer.
Thank you Dr. Carter!!
P. S. Please give a special Thank you to your colleague Laura. She offered me some very helpful e-mails, over the holiday and is obviously a sweet person. I appreciate you both!!

Angelyn L Thompson –
Very insightful and informative and has helped me tremendously. Before taking this course, I was exploding with anger and felt hopeless due to a narcissistic person. Since taking this course I have moved out of my residential home with them and am effectively managing my emotions with the one at work and am in the process of looking for a new job. This was a life changing course for me.
Wilfred Joseph –

Barbara Lyle –

Paula M –
Yes, describes my experiences with family exactly. In fact as I was taking notes throughout the 14 mins of the lecture, I was able to cite life examples of each of the 8 traits
Cynthia Moura –
The course was very exciting but I was expecting also to learn the cause of the disorder and the treatments. Not only as I was a victim.
