“I absolutely loved this training! This workshop gave me essential insight and foundational learning on how to support clients struggling with relationships with narcissists. I am glad to have taken this training and highly recommend it.”

“Highly recommended to anyone using the five-step recovery program. I learned a lot, thanks to Dr. McBride’s clear approach and ability to explain complex topics in a simple way. She makes the practical learning process extremely enriching and brings clarity and light to the sometimes difficult and confusing healing journey that sons, daughters and partners of narcissists go through.”

“This training was extremely beneficial in learning how to apply the 5-step recovery model to adult children of narcissistic parents! I learned a great deal and look forward to practicing these tools in my practice.”

“I have completed the Virtual Workshop ACNP therapists training along with the journaling prompts. It was very insightful and healing for me as a therapist and I would love to continue helping more clients with this amazing material.”
