    Friday, March 7, 2025

    Course Description:

    Learn to identify the types of narcissism, parenting styles of narcissists, behaviors of the victims, gaslighting and trauma bonds, survival skills to teach clients and how to help them regain their sense of worth and self. This course is designed to help therapists understand narcissism vs NPD and how to help clients survive the emotional abuse. As therapists, it is our job to remain neutral, but also keep our clients safe. Clients may have left the situation they were in, they might not be ready to leave, they might be related to the individual, or work with the individual. Regardless of their situation, this course will provide you with the tools, techniques, interventions, and information to help the client(s) survive their situation.

    The Central Coast Chapter of CAMFT is approved by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists to sponsor continuing education for MFTs, Associates and students, MSWs, LEPs and LPCCs.

    Grievance

    While the Central Coast Chapter of CAMFT makes every effort to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there may be occasional issues with regard to presentations/workshops which will require intervention and/or action on the part of the board. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.

    When a participant files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken:

    1. The participant(s) will be asked to put concerns in writing (this can be in electronic form, such as an email).
    2. If the grievance concerns a presenter, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put their comments in written format. The Board will then pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual.
    3. If the grievance concerns a presentation/workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the Board will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the Board will:
    • provide a credit for a subsequent presentation/workshop or
    • provide a partial or full refund of the presentation/workshop fee
