The Narcissist Files

First Blog Post

I thought it would be helpful to start the first blog post introducing the vision behind creating this website and what content we are hoping to cover. I also wanted to introduce myself as the creator of the Narcissist Files.

My name is Angelica and I’m a Counselling Psychologist and have my own private practice. I predominantly deliver therapy in the areas of Trauma, Autism, Low Mood and Anxiety. However, over the years I’ve come across many patients who have experienced abuse from narcissists. Often, they weren’t aware it was narcissistic abuse, and beforehand would struggle to name what was happening to them. Narcissistic abuse is something I’m very familiar with and closer to home than I initially realised. It’s also important to highlight that narcissistic abuse can come from partners, parents, siblings, friends, and family. Narcissistic abuse is harrowing, soul destroying, and something that I wanted to start learning more about and helping others with.

I will be producing most of the content on the site, where I will occasionally invite colleagues, friends and those who are interested in sharing blog posts, articles, and resources. I will be co-working with my friend and colleague, Carina, who will be designing all the visual content, as well as promoting all of the social media content (as well as keeping me in check, as I have a diagnosis of Autism, and waiting to be assessed for ADHD, so I’m a bit of a scatter brain!). She is also a big advocate for recognising, supporting, and raising awareness of narcissistic abuse as this is something she has also suffered from. Therefore, we are HUGE advocates and want to get as much information out there as possible.

I’m hoping this website will become a place that helps others learn more about narcissistic abuse and hopefully gives others the courage to leave these relationships. I also wanted to create an area for training and resources for those who are in the field of mental health/counselling to help spread awareness, understanding and information about the area of narcissistic abuse.

My writing style is quite conversational, I’m not the best at writing, so I’m trying to put those reservations behind me and focus on the information I want to put out there for anyone who is interested enough to read.

I’m hoping to address a range of topics within the area of narcissism as well as eventually launching a podcast. I welcome any feedback and comments and please feel free to drop me a message on the contact me page.

Thank you and welcome to The Narcissist Files
