✨ The Narcissism Recovery Project
A new path to healing from disconnection, emotional immaturity, and relational harm
By Darren Elliott, Registered Psychotherapist and Founder of Online Therapy Ontario
No spam. Just healing.
Are you recovering from narcissistic abuse?
Or… wondering if you might have narcissistic traits yourself?
This project is for you.
Whether you’re healing from a parent, partner, or political culture that devalues emotional safety… or you’re beginning to recognize your own emotional shutdown patterns… you’re not alone.
The Narcissism Recovery Project is a compassionate, clear-eyed guide to personal and cultural healing—built on decades of clinical work, personal experience, and the belief that we grow in relationship, not isolation.
🧠 Narcissism isn’t evil—it’s emotional immaturity.
“We all start out narcissistic. Some of us just got stuck there.”
– Darren Elliott
This book isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding.
Understanding why some people can’t take in another person’s reality.
Why they react with rage or withdrawal when faced with vulnerability.
Why emotional immaturity—when left unaddressed—becomes relational harm.
And why healing this cycle requires more than diagnosis. It requires growth.
What You’ll Find in This Project:
• 🔍 A clear explanation of narcissism as an emotional process, not a fixed identity
• 💔 Support for survivors of narcissistic abuse—especially adult children and partners
• 🔁 Insight for those with narcissistic traits who are ready to grow
• 🛠 Practical tools for therapists, coaches, and healers
• 💡 A deep look at cultural narcissism—including Trumpism, toxic church culture, and the “me first” epidemic
• 🎭 Stories, metaphors, and a few surprises (like Doreen Devine—the recovering narcissist drag queen)
Why This Matters Now
We are living in a time of collective disconnection.
Polarization, manipulation, and contempt are being modeled as strength.
Empathy, curiosity, and kindness are dismissed as weakness.
We believe the opposite is true.
We believe emotional maturity is the way forward—for individuals, families, and nations.

From Darren:
“As someone who grew up in a narcissistic family system, and now works as a therapist with both survivors and narcissists, I can tell you—change is possible. But only if we do the work. This book is my offering toward that healing.”
