Workshop
Workshop Description
Recovering from relationships that have antagonistic, anti-social, narcissistic, and/or borderline personalities in the dynamic.
Learn the Rules of the Game. Learn to play the game safely. Navigating relationships with narcissistic individuals can be challenging, requiring a delicate balance of self-preservation and strategic communication.
Learning the art of dealing with a narcissist involves setting boundaries, practicing assertiveness, and recognizing manipulation tactics. However, even after the interaction, it’s crucial to stop the rumination that often follows. Reframing thoughts and focusing on self-care can help regain a sense of peace and inner strength.
In this intricate dance with narcissistic individuals, learning how to play the game means understanding when to engage and when to disengage, safeguarding your emotional well-being without getting entangled in their web of narcissistic traits. Balancing self-protection and empathy is key in mastering the dynamics of interacting with narcissistic personalities.

Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop is for individuals who understand antagonistic individuals who portray traits of
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
These individuals come into our lives to use us as a supply for their ego validation, self-esteem boosting, financial gaining, twisted mind game intents, power and control and so on. The ones who inflict aggression on an emotional and psychological level. One who is so absent-minded that it does not know who it devalues in their path to ‘victory.’ This workshop is for those individuals who have been thinking a whole lot about this for a very long time. You are either in the relationship, or you are exiting, or you are already out.
- Use others for ego validation, self-esteem, financial gain, and power.
- Show disregard for who they harm in their path to “victory.”
- Inflict emotional and psychological aggression.
Whether you’re still in the relationship, exiting, or already out — this workshop is for you.
- Provide Psychoeducation on narcissism and its common effects of this type of ‘relationship’ on our minds, bodies and spirits
- Provide Psychoeducation on different modalities that could help us cope with the effects of this type of relationship. This would include techniques based on CBT, Mindfulness, Psychoanalysis, …
- Provide an in-depth insight into the cerebral/biological changes that occur as a result of being in this type of relationship. An overview of the neuropathways created during this relationship.
- Provide a behavioural understanding of the cycle of abuse: the intermittent reinforcement cycle, which creates and reinforces the ‘attachment’, over and over again.
- Provide a social overview of the reinforced idea of being in an abusive relationship through cultural norms and religious beliefs – an in-depth analysis of our social conditioning as women or men in this society.
- Provide an overview of the psychology behind the effect of adverse childhood experiences (early attachments) on engaging with individuals who display anti-social behaviours. The lifetime learning cycle and its repetitions until awareness turns on.
- Looking at Narcissistic Abuse from a trauma-informed place and providing information on what life-long trauma could cause to the personalities of the victims/survivors. As a lifetime personality trait, it is learned and, therefore, can be worked on. Things such as codependency, cognitive dissonance, personality traits, and so on –can be modified and expanded. Post-traumatic growth.
- Providing an overview of Reproductive Coercion, Intimate Partner Violence and more.
- Provide an overview of the body’s role in letting us know there is something wrong. This is an important chapter because it helps us understand that just like the mind and the social world around us creates a reality, the body is also telling us what it is when our conscious mind does not clearly see it or want to admit it.
- Provide an overview of the quantum world. The quantum world inside of us. How our minds are made to be dictated and not heard. How we can help ourselves through our own thought work. This comes together with mindfulness and an overview of the power of visualization and spirituality to get out of these relationships and to help us in our healing journey.
- An overview of self-care tactics that will help you cope throughout the healing journey. Harm-reduction strategies: What to do and what NOT to do? Having this IS your toolbox of coping mechanisms (trauma-informed knowledge) will help you further your advancement towards self-actualization. This workshop is for the men and women who have undergone extensive hours of rumination and obsession over the individual and know them so well that their conceptualization of narcissistic abuse is clear.
This workshop is for those of us who are there but also want to be further into our healing journey. This is a workshop where understanding the mind, the body, our behavioral vulnerabilities, the world inside our brains – I mean, it is going to take a lot to heal from this. Are you ready for that? This is a safe space to start thinking about the now. The now is where the answers are. We practice self-love now; we focus on self. We practice self-awareness, and we study ourselves. We practice love, so we love ourselves. You get my gist!
The idea is to go beyond what you know. I want to show you that there are intricacies that need to be understood from a trauma-informed lens that can help you reach a deeper level of healing. Social media has its own conceptualizations of narcissism, but be wary of those who are not providing harm reduction techniques as well as providing information on narcissistic abuse (i.e., self-care, communication skills, trauma, coping skills, etc.).
Let’s go beyond what the public understands and dive a bit deeper into what psychology, psychotherapy, quantum mechanics, and biology have to tell us about it!
Why am I doing this? Who am I? Why do I even get to speak on the subject? Valid questions have now found my purpose!
My name is Raquel Soteldo. I am a registered psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada. My first workshop was launched the year I became a therapist in 2020. It is my passion to teach about this topic. Why though? I first wrote about Narcissism in my 2008 undergrad thesis. It was called Narcissism: An Intergenerational Pandemic. It has been lost and gone for years this thesis, but my work has continued ever since. I did not even realize it then, but I have come to understand now that everything I went through in my life had a purpose. I have now found my purpose, and I’m here to share it with all of you.I have had to heal at least 7 times throughout my life. I am not sure if that is something to say out loud; I should have learned or known by the second time, right? My first time experiencing narcissistic abuse was actually when I was 8 years old. I was too young to be conscious, to realize anything was going on. I had to heal from that years later. I am not open about this with anyone, and right now is probably not the time I will speak of the specifics that happened to me, but I can tell you this: there are monsters out there.
Those closest to you can do the most harm to your psyche and emotional health.
I had to heal again as a teenager, dealing with the negative repercussions of the early wound. Then, I had to heal again in my 20s, the consequences of my actions. Then, I had to heal again in my 30s, again the consequences of my unconscious decisions. I had to heal again in my 40s, but this time, it was different. I have learned too much now to allow abuse to continue.
I have come to love myself enough to say NO and stop absolutely everything that needs to be stopped when it needs to be stopped.
I have learned. So, life may throw another curveball at me in the future, but guess what? I would know how to cope, I will know how to say NO, I will not be codependent, I will recognize the idealization and cognitive dissonance, I will love myself more than anyone, I will make clear boundaries and enforce them. So, while I may fall again, the healing period will be a lot smoother and faster.
What happens after you heal so many times? You learn. You start to realize the continuum of the behavioural patterns and the decisions made that have led to where you are today. It also leads to forgiveness and letting go. It leads to a spiritual awareness that all of a sudden gives you refuge in times of stress. It makes you see your world as flexible, easy to work with, and easy to manage. Join me to find your field of endless possibilities. I know it’s out there because it was there for me every single time I had to heal.Since my undergraduate studies, I have studied behaviour through applied behavioural analysis. It is one of the best diplomas I have ever received. It helped me learn about the vulnerabilities we have as humans, such as falling into behavioural patterns that we are not conscious of and that could kill us, literally. I studied a Masters in Counselling and this really helped me narrow down the focus of what I wanted to do: Help survivors and victims of narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic abuse. Being extorted is familiar to me; being bullied is familiar to me; being brainwashed by religion is familiar to me; being scapegoated by your own family intensely is familiar to me; there are so many things I am familiar with that I cannot mention here, so rest assured, I get it!
I am now enrolled in a doctorate for counselling psychology and my dissertation is on Reproductive Coercion.
After attending any of the workshops, you will receive your own Diploma! You get a certificate/diploma of completion as a survivor of narc abuse, which can represent the best diploma you will ever get!#thenarcslayer
