Description

Narcissism expert Dr Supriya McKenna tackles head on the issues that occur when  divorcing a narcissistic personality type. In this podcast she is often joined by veteran UK solicitor Karin Walker. In this podcast Dr Supriya offers up her years of experience working in this field, whilst  interviewing a variety of allied professionals to also bring you their advice and expertise. A former family doctor, Supriya is a best selling author in the field of narcissism. Her new 2024 book, the first of her 'Narcissists in Divorce' series, is now available from Audible as an audiobook, as well as in paperback and Kindle formats. It's called Narcissists in Divorce: From Love-Locked to Leaving, and it will teach you how to assess whether your partner is a true narcissist. With easy-to-read case histories and in-depth questionnaires, you’ll learn about narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), and how to deconstruct narcissistic behaviours. You'll discover the predictable divorce and separation behaviours to expect from a narcissist, and their impact on you and your children. You’ll also learn why these relationships are so difficult to break free from, and why you may be struggling. With guidance to help you decide whether or not to leave your relationship, you’ll also learn essential strategies to build your resilience – regardless of what choice you ultimately make. The second book in the series - Narcissists in Divorce: From Leaving to Liberty – The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth is also out now. Supriya felt compelled to write it after becoming aware of the many important legal and post-separation issues that had not been dealt with in her 2021 book, Divorcing a Narcissist: The Lure, The Loss and the Law.  Exposing the dangerous inadequacies of family justice systems across the world, From Leaving to Liberty is an in depth, holistic, no nonsense guide to navigating child-related and financial issues that occur during divorce. It details how to minimize and deal with post separation abuse, how to parent alongside a narcissist, and how to make up for the deficiencies of the narcissistic parent to protect your children. Legal strategies for both the finances and children issues are covered in detail, as are physiological hacks to help you cope with the divorce process, which, sadly, is abusive in itself. Dr Supriya even covers how to recognize and deal with narcissistic divorce lawyers; how exactly to find a lawyer who can help you; court ordered psychological evaluations; and much much more. Supriya has trained thousands of family law professionals in how to manage narcissistic divorces.
