Cope with the narcissistic individual’s demanding, dismissing, and alienating behaviors so that you can remain calm, cool and in control of your own responses
A Membership Community with
Susan Stiffelman, MFT and Wendy Behary, LCSW to help free you from the pain and frustration of raising children with a highly self-absorbed co-parent
"My husband is a covert, passive aggressive narcissist and bounces around on the spectrum of mild to wild behaviors. I have decided to stay in the relationship for the sake of the kids. I’ve been using the great strategies shared here and I'm seeing improvement. The explosive episodes are less as I’ve learned to divert attention, stay calm and use leverage. It’s absolutely exhausting, but I feel for the first time I can create a stable, semi-regulated environment for my kids."
"Thank you for this incredible resource and building this community. It has been a lifeline for me and so inspiring to hear about other’s successes and perseverance in managing extremely painful situations. I have learned SO MUCH the coaching call recordings."

What If...?
What if I have a parenting question but I can't show up on a call to ask for help?
Questions are submitted ahead of time in a shared online document which Wendy and Susan use to prepare for each coaching session. Those who don't attend live receive the same attention as those who do.
How will this coaching program help me?
That there is very little guidance for raising children with a narcissistic co-parent. Wendy and Susan are highly trained, respected counselors with decades of experience and offer personalized support that has proven to make life better for parents and children who are bound to a life circumstance involving someone with narcissistic tendencies. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your children is access to caring, quality expertise to help you navigate the many challenges associated with co-parenting with a narcissist. If you're interested, give the program a try! You can cancel at any time--no questions asked.
What if I work full-time? It's unlikely I will ever be able to attend the live sessions at all.
Parents are busy! Most members watch replays of our coaching sessions. NOTE: New members will have access to ALL prior membership calls.
What if I'm so busy I can't even imagine having time to watch the replays?
Parents tell me that they often play the audio in the background while folding laundry or preparing a meal, or that they just tune in for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. Even tuning in for a few minutes can help!

has helped them:
"The membership is life-saving. I have been divorced for a long time but am still raising two children with my ex-husband who has made life as difficult as possible for me. What I learned from you both has made a huge difference in my ability to stay business-like and keep the focus on our children. I can’t thank you enough for these sessions and hope you will keep offering something for those of us desperate for help!"
"I have learned so much about dealing with narcissists from these sessions. Not only is life easier with my narcissistic husband, but also with my mother, who fits the category. (History repeats itself!) Please keep up the good work! There is nothing else like this out there for parents needing this kind of support. Thank you so much!"
FAQs
How does the membership work?
Susan and Wendy will host a live, interactive coaching call once each month. Ask questions, and if you choose, join live on screen for personal coaching. If you can’t attend, you will be able to submit questions in advance. Each call is recorded, so you can watch it whenever you like.
How long is each coaching call session?
Each call is 60 minutes long.
Are the coaching calls confidential?
We are very aware of the need for privacy and confidentiality in our membership. You are never asked to participate, give your name, speak, or appear on camera. Typically, parents submit anonymous questions in advance, or chat in questions during the live webinar. Our coaching call recordings are in a private, password protected customer portal that only members may access.
Will I benefit no matter the ages of my children?
We have strategically designed the program to benefit parents of children of all ages–toddlers through teens.
What if I can't make it to the coaching calls?
Call times vary so that no matter what part of the world you live in, you’ll be able to attend some of the sessions in person. However, there will be a replay of each call available in your member portal so you can watch any time at your convenience. You can also post your questions in advance, anonymously if you choose, for Susan and Wendy, so you can tune in to the replay for personalized guidance.
