Through case-based learning\, micro-interventions\, and therapist-position work\, participants will learn how to build a strong alliance without collapsing boundaries\, reduce power struggles\, and access the vulnerability and toxic shame that often sit underneath grandiosity\, control\, and lack of reciprocity. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Agenda \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1º Session: Schema Therapy: tools and strategies from Schema Therapy \n2º Session: Schema Therapy for Narcissism- Part 1 \n3º Session: Schema Therapy for Narcissism- Part 2 \n4º Session: Schema Therapy for Couples – Part 1 \n5º Session: Schema Therapy for Couples – Part 2 \n6º Session: Integration\, Q & A\, Closure. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learning goals: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learning objectives (by block) \nEmpathic Confrontation (Class 1): \n\nIdentify and conceptualize challenging and uncompromising modes.\nBuild a navigational treatment map.\nApply Empathic Confrontation strategies to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and modify resistance\, avoidance\, and overcompensation.\nIntegrate experiential strategies targeting core unmet needs (toxic shame\, mistrust\, injustice\, unconditional acceptance).\n\nNarcissism (Classes 2 and 3): \n\nConceptualize narcissism and NPD to guide treatment strategy.\nUse Empathic Confrontation to maintain leverage\, avoid power struggles\, address entitlement\, and set limits.\nReplace self-defeating patterns and coping modes with healthy modes through moment-to-moment therapeutic encounters.\nDevelop a sturdy self by identifying and stabilizing the therapist’s own schemas as obstacles to effectiveness.\nCreate customized dialogues that increase access to vulnerability and emotion.\n\nCouples (Classes 4 and 5): \n\nAssess each partner’s schemas and coping modes.\nTrack attachment ruptures and activating conditions in cycles of conflict.\nAddress dysfunctional mode cycles using emotion-focused and CBT strategies\, and the therapy relationship\, to heal schemas and meet frustrated core needs.\nRestore trust and intimacy and strengthen healthy coping using Empathic Confrontation.\nSustain a sturdy self in high-conflict moments.\n\nWho should attend \n\nPsychologists\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists and mental health clinicians in clinical practice.\nClinicians working with NPD\, narcissistic traits\, complex trauma\, high-conflict couples\, or controlling/emotionally abusive dynamics.\nTherapists seeking a clear method to hold boundaries while protecting the therapeutic alliance.\n\nResources \nRecommended reading: Behary\, W.
