Help for Men With Narcissistic Traits

      You can’t force someone to change, but you can offer the right solution. 

The Core is the only program of its kind that specifically targets the root of narcissistic behaviors to heal  relationships from the inside out.

Is Change Really Possible?

Understanding Narcissistic Traits

Narcissistic behaviors often stem from deep insecurities and past wounds. With specialized therapeutic approaches, men can develop self-awareness and empathy – the foundation for lasting change.

Breaking Destructive Cycles

Our program targets the underlying causes of narcissistic behavior, not just the symptoms. We address the root of the harmful patterns, and help men develop skills for healthy relationships.

Creating Sustainable Change

Change takes time, but with a structured approach and strict accountability, men with narcissistic traits can develop genuine emotional intelligence and lifelong skills that will help them in every area of their life.

The Journey to
Transformation

Self-Awareness

Men learn to recognize how their actions have harmed others and impacted their relationships.

Personal Growth

Clinically effective approaches such as DBT exposes thinking errors and teaches emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.

Why Our Unique Approach Works

Laying the Foundation

We believe that a healthy relationship requires two healthy individuals. We start with individual sessions for each partner, focusing on personal growth and creating emotional safety before attempting joint sessions.

Clinically Proven Methods

Our program uses evidence-based approaches such as DBT and IFS which has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for behavioral change.

Gradual Relationship Repair

Only after emotional safety and basic communication and listening skills have been established are couples considered ready to begin the work to repair and rebuild their relationship.

What Men Are Saying About The Core

“I never knew what narcissism was or how it had truly controlled my life and behavior. The Men’s Core program unpacked some truths that I had been totally blind too. This program has shown me a new way. I’m beyond grateful.”

-Dustin

“I showed up very angry, wanting to be right and for my wife to stop what she was doing. I was completely broken once the reality of what I had been doing to her became real to me. I left with a desire to rebuild what I have destroyed.”

-Dave

“Hearing I had narcissistic tendencies was a hard truth to face. The Marriage Recovery Center was open and truthful about what I was doing to my wife with my actions. They provided me a safe, non judgmental place to get help and give me tools to use to help heal my marriage.”

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve probably heard that there is no chance of change when dealing with narcissistic personality, but this is simply not true in our experience.  Nearly 800 men have gone through our program, and while complete personality transformation isn’t realistic, the majority experienced a significant shift in awareness of both their own emotions and that of their partner. This has made a huge difference in their relationship.

The Comprehensive Core has three progressive phases, each lasting 14 weeks and builds on the progress from the previous phase. In most cases, we start to see positive changes within the first 3-6 months of consistent work, but it depends on how committed they are to learning and doing the work.

In 95 percent of cases, men who initially resist counseling will respond to an intervention of some kind.  Call our office and ask about what an intervention entails. Our clinicians can walk you through every step of the process, and we have seen firsthand what a powerful catalyst it can be to motivate men into change.
