What's Narcissists in Divorce: The Narcissist Trap about?

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. 

It will be followed in summer 2024 by the second book in the series - Narcissists in Divorce: From Leaving to Liberty.

 (Dr Supriya's other recent book, 'The Narcissist Trap - The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders',  explains how anyone can be pulled into a narcissist's orbit - at work, at home, in social circles, and anywhere else, and may be useful for people who are trying to support their loved ones who are divorcing narcissists. The book is also a must read for anyone wanting to understand this damaging condition).

in 2020 Dr Supriya also conceived and wrote, with UK Family lawyer Karin Walker, Narcissists and Family Law: A Practitioner's Guide, the only book about narcissism specifically to educate family lawyers. 

Supriya and Karin have trained thousands of family law professionals in how to manage narcissistic divorces. With legal tips, advice for lawyers and more, this podcast is invaluable for anyone who suspects their spouse or partner might be narcissistic, as well for family lawyers, wishing to be able to better represent their clients.
