My Counselling Focus
I’m Christine, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, who can offer individuals an experienced and practical perspective on a range of narcissistic relationships and antagonistic personality styles that you are navigating in your life right now.
Your challenging relationship can be with a spouse, family member, or adult child where their influence over you, your time and resources is really beginning to feel all-consuming for you.
My approach is different than other Narcissistic Abuse Counsellors. I recognize narcissism is not the only type of antagonistic personality style and yet the ongoing exposure to volatile and unpredictable behaviour from others can have similar negative effects on us.
Antagonistic personality styles in adults can also include substance use disorder, behavioural addictions, mental health challenges, ADHD, autism and this list could literally go on.
My focus begins with the effects of the narcissistic abuse and antagonistic relational stress you are currently experiencing with the understanding close relationships are not expendable when you are invested.
Before there is any consideration of ending any relationship, if that is even possible, there is my Inner Strength Boundary System: A²LDS - link to blog here.
This process supports you to begin the inner work of reclaiming the parts of you that have been lost with no agenda to leave or cut-off your relationship, unless you determine otherwise as there is an aspect of your safety at risk.
Or perhaps you are seeking to look at your own relationship patterns that are harming your healthy relationships and would like to explore how to respond better – link to blog here.
Working with me, you will learn how my Inner Strength Boundary System: A²LDS can provide you the framework to develop an internal sense of safety to feel more confident and secure in relationship with yourself and others.
Why Blue Onion?
The blue part is simple – it’s my favourite colour! Blue represents trust and serenity which are included in the top 5 values that I live by everyday.
The onion represents, you, my client – someone who has created tight layers of protection around yourself due to trauma or who is currently entangled in a difficult relationship with someone with narcissistic traits or an antagonistic personality style.
You are seeking a safe and effective therapeutic process to reveal your inner strength and free yourself from the relational stress you are currently experiencing with a spouse, family member or adult child.
You value having the autonomy of deciding your level of participation in your challenging relationship in a judgement-free space.
Or you may have recently experienced a split from your difficult relationship and are seeking a space to heal and reconcile the harm caused by such a devastating relationship.
You may be seeking a knowledgeable space to safety plan to protect yourself from getting pulled back in.
You may be contemplating divorce and need a supportive space for planning a successful exit from your marriage with someone who has gone through it themselves.
