Welcome to The Narcissism Recovery Project
In this short welcome, Darren Elliott (Registered Psychotherapist) shares the heart behind The Narcissism Recovery Project — and why healing disconnection matters.
Introduction to the United States of Disconnection
In this short welcome, Darren shares why he wrote The United States of Disconnection — and how it can guide us
Coming September 2025: The United States of Disconnection
The United States of Disconnection is part memoir, part cultural mirror, and part roadmap toward emotional recovery in a divided world.
Therapist and author Darren Elliott blends lived experience, client insights, and political trauma theory to trace how narcissism became a cultural epidemic—from families to churches to the Oval Office.
If you’re exhausted by fear-based leadership, religious trauma, toxic masculinity, or emotional isolation—this book will help you understand how we got here, and how we heal.
About the Author
Darren Elliott, RP – Founder of The Narcissism Recovery Project™
About the Author: United States of Disconnection
Darren Elliott is a Canadian psychotherapist, educator, and writer whose work brings together two lifelong callings: teaching and healing. As a teacher, he learned how to break down complex ideas into lessons people could use. As a therapist, he saw how clients needed more than conversations—they needed guides, worksheets, and practices they could return to between sessions. The merging of those skills led to the creation of Love Loops™, a series of workbooks and tools designed to help people practice empathy, accountability, and connection in everyday life.
His personal and professional journey has taken him across more than 30 countries, giving him a global perspective on how cultures shape resilience, compassion, and disconnection. His writing began with journals and travel stories, but came into focus as he witnessed a larger cultural pattern: the very traits he worked with in therapy—gaslighting, blame-shifting, and emotional immaturity—were playing out on a national stage. This book, The United States of Disconnection, grew out of that realization.
Through The Narcissism Recovery Project and his writing, Darren offers a message that is both challenging and hopeful: narcissism is not a permanent identity, but a survival strategy that can be unlearned. Change happens through connection, and every small act of truth-telling, accountability, and kindness moves us closer to reconnection.
In addition to therapy and writing, Darren also hosts creative projects like The Friends of Doreen Show, where humor and cultural commentary meet emotional education. No matter the format, his work circles back to the same invitation: we are all recovering humans, and together we can grow into something better.

🌍 A Movement for Emotional Repair in a Disconnected World
We are not just recovering from narcissism.
We are recovering from disconnection.
Welcome to The Narcissism Recovery Project™ — a global movement founded by psychotherapist and author Darren Elliott, devoted to restoring our capacity to love, connect, and feel again in a world that taught us to disconnect, perform, and fear.
This is not a site for labeling people.
It’s a site for freeing people—from shame, silence, and emotional survival strategies that no longer serve us.
“Narcissism is not a personality disorder. It’s a relational injury. And that means it can heal—in relationship.”

Registered Psychotherapist and Founder of Online Therapy Ontario

You long for real connection, but find yourself performing, defending, or disappearing
You’ve felt gaslit, blamed, or dismissed in your relationships
You wonder if you have narcissistic traits and want to change
You were raised in a family that looked good on the outside—but left you emotionally alone
You want to raise emotionally strong kids who know how to love and be loved
You believe we can create a better world—one emotionally mature relationship at a time
Why this matters now
-
Why this matters now -
Something is deeply wrong in America—and it’s not just political.
It’s emotional.It’s relational.
And it’s spreading like wildfire.
But just like an alcoholic becomes a recovering alcoholic through daily awareness and support,
a narcissist can become a recovering narcissist through accountability, truth, and relationships that foster healing.
