Difficult Personalities: How to Navigate Relationships with Clients, Co-Workers and Others Who May Have Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissism, and other Challenging Personalities

Speaker Josh Dye

Popular based on survey feedback!

Do you ever feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to?

Do you serve clients, or are in any relationships with people that have intense, irrational rages that seem to come out of nowhere?

Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells to avoid confrontations or constantly upsetting someone?

If the answer is yes, then you are likely interacting with someone that may have borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissism or other challenging personality traits.

People compare working or living with someone that has borderline personality disorder, or other personality disorders to:

Living in a pressure cooker with thin walls and a faulty safety valve.

Living in a perpetual oxymoron. It’s a seemingly endless host of contradictions.

Feeling like you are going through the spin cycle on a washing machine. The world is whirling around, and you have no idea which way is up, down or sideways.

In this training, we will explore strategies to more effectively serve and interact with people that have, or demonstrate the traits of, people with borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and other challenging personalities.

You will learn: (Learning Objectives)

  • What is going on inside a person that has a personality disorder.
  • How to identify and understand behavior that is influenced by a personality disorder.
  • How to set boundaries and communicate with someone that has a personality disorder.
  • How to personally find peace and cope with the stress of interacting with people that have a personality disorder.

By the end of this training you will have a greater understanding of how to navigate complex interactions with people that have difficult personalities!

NOTE: This training is NOT about how to medically or psychologically provide treatment for someone with a personality disorder.

This is for professionals that happen to work with people that may have a personality disorder, and are looking for strategies to better serve them, and personally cope with the impacts of these challenging and stressful interactions.
