— Darren Elliott, RP
Welcome 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 back to each other.
Why This Book Matters
The United States of Disconnection is the first release through The Love Loops Press and The Narcissism Recovery Project™. Written by Registered Psychotherapist Darren Elliott, it offers a culturally urgent lens on how narcissistic abuse is playing out across politics, religion, social media, and family life — and what it will take to heal.
In therapy we know that for meaningful change, we must first accept what is. This book is about that, through a compassionate lense of someone who works with narcissists, understand what is happening in the US in a new way.
America can only turn around if Americans can come back together, conquer the fear they’ve been taught, and learn to love each other - and that includes diversity. Written during this age of disinformation, Elliott provides links and back-up documents, free workbooks, reasearch documents, and Love Loops Wake Up Guides that can be downloaded for free or purchase your published versions. (This growing collection is coming Fall and Winter 2025/2026.
Be ready for The United States of Reconnection, the sequal, and the next step to turning this ship around.
