About this course
Someone is creating havoc in your life, and you’re beginning to think that he or she has a personality disorder. How do you know for sure? And then what? How do you navigate narcissists and other manipulative people?
In this webinar, licensed professional counselor Mandy Friedman explains narcissistic behavior patterns and traits, including how they choose their targets (it’s for your strengths, not your weaknesses). Then, she delivers tips and strategies for dealing with narcissists, antisocials, psychopaths and other exploiters.
The best strategy is No Contact — cutting the person out of your life. But sometimes that isn’t possible. In those situations, you need other tools, such as putting everything in writing, setting time limits, and more. Learn how to defuse the insanity of disordered behavior and protect your vulnerable self.
Highlights
- Narcissistic personalities and patterns
- What manipulators look for — strength and resilience
- Tools for dealing with narcissists — like No Contact and grey rock
- Getting honest about the people in your life
- Knowing your limitations and resources

I can’t thank Donna Anderson & the experts she curates, to help educate us survivors enough. The information Donna & her “rescue possie” provides has been immensely powerful & useful to me. The discovery & validation of what I’ve suspected in my gut all along, has been very healing. Although shocking to realize my worst fears about my husband are in fact true… there is solace in the the knowledge it doesn’t have to be for the rest of my life. It’s amazing what I can clearly see, now that I have his “playbook” on manipulation. As everyone is at a different place on their journey, -I occasionally see a disgruntled review. Those moments make me feel sad for the wonderfully giving people Donna has rounded up to help us. Every facilitator I’ve listened to has been fantastic. If there’s ever a criticism in the reviews, I can clearly see it’s because the listener is not at the right place yet to understand the lessons. There’s a saying “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” That is the case at LoveFraud. The information & lessons to unlock the mysteries of silent abuse are all here. And going from abuse victim to survivor is quite the journey. Like Donna, I never never wish narcissistic abuse on anyone. Thank you Donna and friends, for the important work you do. I am on the road to healing. You’ve validated me & sped up my journey. I’m immensely grateful to you !!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciated how clear organized and descriptive regarding a couple things one what what attracts narcissistic people to the people they choose to be with and secondly of course what attracts someone that is not narcissistic but is attracted to a narcissist those were probably the most beneficial and I will be listening to this webinar at least three or four more times so thank you great webinar great information short concise and organized
Great course. Very helpful and insightful. All the courses I’ve taken so far have benefited me in many ways. Thank you for what you do.
I felt the seminar was very informative. It covered material that I have never heard. It is well worth the time and money. Carolyn Toenniges, LCSW
“Tools for Navigating Narcissists & Other Manipulative People” is an excellent webinar!!!!! We all know that NO CONTACT is the best method; however, that is not always an option when you have to deal with TOXIC people on a daily basis. There are nine different methods that Mandy Friedman, LPCC-S, CCDVD discusses in this webinar:
•“Grey Rock”;
•“Inform Your Inner Circle & Key Figures of Flying Monkeys“;
•“Keep Records”;
•“Identify Induced Communication Tactics”;
•“Know Your Limitations”;
•“Put Your Business Pants On”;
•“Use Emotional Shielding to Protect Your Vulnerable Self”;
•“Content vs Intent”; &
•“Gain Space, be Strategic”.
If you have a TOXIC person in your life and you don’t have the option of NO CONTACT or if TOXIC people just keep showing up in your life, this is definitely the webinar for you!!!!!
