The Difficulty In

Finding Competent

Professional

Help and Support

If you have tried to seek help or support in the past from a professional, or multiple professionals, to try and make sense of what you’ve been through, and the professional you sought out was not aware of the distinct form of trauma that results from pathological relationship abuse, it’s very likely that the professional did not help, and you found yourself once again floundering, searching for some explanation as to why you feel the way you feel and desperately seeking support that would actually feel supportive. Support that would actually help you heal and recover. .

Why Your Previous

Attempts to Seek Help

Were Ineffective

Many professionals who specialize in treating trauma can inadvertently cause harm to their clients because they are unfamiliar the reality of pathological relationship abuse. Sadly, it is all too common to end up with a well-meaning professional who cannot adequately educate you on the true nature of pathological relationship abuse, of the kind of relationship you are actually in, or the kind of person you are truly dealing with, and therefore, cannot intervene in ways that produce much relief or any lasting recovery. Because of this, professionals at large have not sufficiently validated survivors or helped them recover from their abuse and resulting trauma.

One reason is that mental health professionals don’t appear to understand personality disorders or the impact of personality pathology on relationships. This is because most professionals who deal with mental health-related issues believe that ALL forms of abuse and relationship dysfunction are cut from the same cloth.  The biases that professionals hold about disordered personalities in fact favor and benefit social and relational predators and have caused immeasurable harm to those who are victimized by them. If a professional believes that all human beings are basically the same on the inside, and they assume that pathological personalities can be reasoned with, and for the most part are genuinely willing to collaborate and problem-solve, there is a high likelihood that a victim or survivor can be invalidated, told to work it out with their abuser, or worse, be told by the professional they sought help from that their own “attachment issues” or unresolved childhood wounds are the root cause of the dysfunction in the relationship. Sadly, I’ve heard this from clients more times than I can count.

This is where my personal experience and professional effectiveness will prove very helpful for you. My views on personality pathology, which are based on hard scientific data, differ significantly from the vast majority of professionals in the field of mental health. One of the greatest failures in all of mental health science has been the widespread miseducation on the root cause of personality disorders like narcissism and psychopathy. An in-depth explanation on the etiology or cause of personality disorders is extensively researched and explained in my book, The Nature and Nurture of Narcissism for those who are interested in conclusive scientific findings and empirical data. 

For now, let me assure you that the missing piece you have been searching for to make sense of your disorienting, debilitating situation and to recover once and for all so that you can get on with your life and reunite with your true sense of self…that missing piece is recovery from traumatic cognitive dissonance.
