Dealing with a Therapist Friend's Narcissistic Traits: Boundaries and Self-Care

1. Talk to your friend: Honestly express concern for her and her clients.
2. Encourage professional help: Suggest she see a therapist to address narcissistic tendencies.
3. Set boundaries: Limit time together, avoid triggering topics.
4. Prioritize self‑care: You can’t control her behavior; focus on your physical/emotional well‑being.
5. Be prepared to end the friendship: If she refuses to change or seek help, distancing may be necessary for self‑protection.
