Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding The Narcissism Recovery Project, the books, and the therapeutic framework.

The Narcissism Recovery Project (TNRP) brings together education, therapy, and creative works that explore emotional disconnection and the path back to connection.
This page answers some of the most common questions about the project, including The United States of Disconnection book series, the Love Loops™ workbook, and psychotherapy services associated with the project.

Each answer reflects the purpose of TNRP: to help people make sense of relational patterns, emotional injuries, and the systems that shape human connection — always within ethical and professional standards of care.

About The Narcissism Recovery Project

  • The Narcissism Recovery Project is a collective initiative combining education, creative work, and clinical practice. It explores patterns of emotional disconnection and their impact on relationships, families, and broader systems.
    The project includes books, workbooks, blogs, and therapy services — all grounded in compassion, reflection, and regulated professional standards.

  • TNRP is intended for individuals, couples, families, groups, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of relational and systemic disconnection.
    It’s for anyone exploring how emotional distance, control, and survival patterns affect human connection — in personal relationships, workplaces, or communities.
    While its educational materials support reflection and growth, they do not replace psychotherapy. Therapy services are offered separately, under CRPO regulation, to clients in Ontario.

  • Not exactly. TNRP is a broader project that includes both regulated therapy services and educational content.
    Therapy is a professional service offered by a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) under the CRPO. Educational materials such as books and workbooks are meant for personal insight, not clinical treatment.

  • No. Reading, attending events, or following TNRP materials does not establish a therapist–client relationship.
    A therapeutic relationship only begins after informed consent, intake, and agreement to therapy terms under CRPO standards.

About Coaching and Therapy Services

  • Yes. In Ontario only. Psychotherapy services are offered by a Registered Psychotherapist under the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
    Sessions are available virtually or in person to anyone located in Ontario, Canada at the time of the appointment.

  • Therapy may help with experiences of relational disconnection, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, loss of identity, or the aftereffects of harmful or controlling relationships.
    Each session focuses on understanding patterns, developing self-awareness, and supporting reconnection — within the client’s goals and pace.

  • No. The therapy approach does not involve labeling or diagnosing others. The focus is on understanding behavior patterns and their emotional impact.
    The goal is personal growth, not assigning blame or judgment.

  • Yes. All sessions are confidential and follow the standards of CRPO and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
    There are legal exceptions to confidentiality (for example, risk of harm, child protection, or court orders), which are always reviewed during intake.

  • Yes. Sessions can involve individuals, couples, or families when appropriate.
    The therapeutic focus remains on relational understanding, communication, and repair — always within each person’s emotional readiness and safety.

  • Yes, in fact, Relationship Skills Coaching is central the The Narcissism Recovery Project and to Love Loops.

    Coaching is available online worldwide with accordance to any restrictions in your region.

About Love Loops™

  • Love Loops™ is an emotional framework and workbook that helps people explore how connection forms, breaks, and repairs.
    It can be used individually, with partners, or in group settings to increase awareness around patterns of communication, attachment, and repair.

  • No. Love Loops™ is an educational and reflective tool. It is not therapy and does not replace psychotherapy.
    It can, however, be a helpful complement to therapy, as it encourages emotional language, self-reflection, and insight.

  • Anyone interested in understanding relationships more deeply — including individuals, couples, families, educators, and mental health professionals.
    Facilitators may use Love Loops™ in groups or workshops, provided it’s done ethically and within their professional scope of practice.

  • Yes. Many couples use Love Loops™ as a shared tool for communication and reflection. It helps partners identify where connection feels safe or blocked, and what repair might look like — without assigning blame.

About Boundaries, Ethics, and Safety

  • All therapy services operate under the ethical framework of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), which includes principles of confidentiality, informed consent, respect for client autonomy, and non-discrimination.

  • That’s okay. Many people begin by exploring The United States of Disconnection or Love Loops™.
    These resources can help clarify experiences and prepare for therapy when or if the time feels right.

  • No. The project is independent of any political, ideological, or religious organization.
    Its focus is human connection, emotional integrity, and systemic understanding.

About The United States of Disconnection

  • The United States of Disconnection explores what happens when people live in systems that value image, control, and power over connection and empathy.
    It examines disconnection not only in personal relationships, but in families, institutions, and culture.
    The book combines storytelling, psychology, and social reflection — inviting readers to understand disconnection as both a personal and collective issue.

  • No. The title is both literal and symbolic — “United States” refers to the emotional and societal states of disconnection that exist everywhere.

  • No. The book is educational, not clinical. It can help readers make sense of their experiences and begin reflecting on patterns, but it does not replace individualized psychotherapy or mental health support.

  • Both. The ideas draw from psychological and systemic frameworks as well as lived experience. It’s not a clinical manual, but an exploration grounded in both professional understanding and personal reflection.

About The Broader Project

  • They’re all connected by one core idea: that emotional disconnection — within people, families, and cultures — is the root of much human suffering.
    Each part of the project offers a different way to explore reconnection:

    • The United States of Disconnection through story and reflection.

    • Love Loops™ through practice and emotional language.

    • Therapy through professional, regulated support.

    Together, they form a continuum of learning and care.

  • Yes, educators, facilitators, and clinicians are welcome to reference or integrate materials with credit, provided it’s done ethically and within professional boundaries.
    Commercial use or reproduction of materials requires written permission.

  • You can subscribe to the TNRP mailing list or follow its official social media pages for announcements about new book releases, workshops, and community events.

  • TNRP and its resources are not crisis services.
