A Dash of Madness—Narcissism Redescribed

"Sanity is very rare; every man almost and every woman has a dash of madness." —Emerson
With so much confusion and misunderstanding around this well-worn concept of "Narcissism"—now more than ever—what even is it and what do we mean when we use the word? How can it be understood and identified in one's own mind and life, as well as in the lives of the people who come to talk with us? How does it present, what are its demands, and what is the impact on a person's psyche and soul and environment, both locally and globally? In these passionate lectures and conversations, Joe Sawyer, MA, LMHC and I will bring our collective psychotherapeutic experience and rumination on this iconic label to breathe fresh, new, creative, and pragmatic ways of thinking and feeling about, what we believe, is at the heartbeat of every mental illness that we as human beings suffer with. We hope you'll consider joining us in our efforts to educate and help with how to challenge this psychic epidemic.
