Start healing from narcissistic abuse, with this practical, evidence-based programme

Some say you can never fully recover from narcissistic abuse. I beg to differ.

My self-directed programme will help you start living a life that works for you. Having gone through my own journey of recovery using this evidence based approach, I have put together ten self-guided modules.

The programme offers and affordable, flexible way to help you regain your confidence and break free of the chains of narcissistic abuse.

It will start you on the path to full recovery, with a step-by-step process which you can follow at your own pace. There are 10 modules, with worksheets where appropriate, to be followed in sequence.

Different aspects will resonate at different times. Recovery is a process and rarely a straight line. Go with the pace your mind and body will follow.


This online programme has been designed by me, Dr. Daksha Hirani, an experienced clinical psychologist with extensive experience in narcissistic abuse recovery. The programme uses Trauma Informed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to show you the way to begin healing from narcissistic abuse.

To ensure true recovery from narcissistic abuse, this programme is based on your experience. I invite you to complete it without jumping modules, finishing the exercises as they come up.

After completion, I encourage you to revisit any or all sections, whenever needed, to strengthen what you have learnt and therefore your recovery.

With this programme, you can unpick and heal from the trauma that you have experienced. There is a way forward. There is light at the end of the tunnel and I look forward to helping you on this journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Programme

Given that narcissistic abuse is very personal, completing an online programme to help with it may sound quite confusing. We have compiled a list of responses for some questions that you may have, organised according to the purpose of this programme, how to complete it, and the programme content. If you still have questions about the programme, feel free to contact us by email at info@drdakshahirani.com or telephone 07467 596697.

  • Will this programme fix narcissistic abuse? Although the narcissist has inflicted tremendous pain, that you most definitely don’t deserve, this programme does not aim to change or "fix" the narcissist. Instead, this programme hopes to foster a power from within, a mindset that empowers you to stop responding to the words and actions of the narcissist, as well as equip you with tools to deal with the unhelpful emotions, thoughts, sensations or memories caused by the abuse. This way, you can spend your time and effort on what you truly value, and live a life on your terms and not the narcissists.

  • Narcissistic abuse can occur in any type of interpersonal relationships, including but not limited to romantic relationships or marriages. Narcissistic abuse can be seen in all kinds of relationships - friendships, family relationships, and colleagues in the workplace. While narcissistic abuse may be commonly associated with romantic relationships or marriages, as you complete the programme, you may well realise how narcissistic abuse has influenced you in other types of relationships too.

  • Completing this programme and having therapy sessions are two parallel routes of seeking support for what you have been through. The former is a way of self-help where you can work at your own pace, while the latter is a method to seek professional one to one support. One cannot replace the other. The effectiveness of self-help and seeking professional help varies from individual to individual, so it comes down to you when evaluating whether completing this programme or having therapy sessions is more useful, or indeed both could be helpful.

  • You are in charge of the pace in completing this programme. This programme can be completed in as little as a few weeks, or as much as few months, as long as it feels right for you. You are also encouraged to take your time in reflecting on your experience with our handouts and completing the exercises in the programme.

  • Yes, we recommended that you complete the modules in order. Whilst it may be tempting to jump between modules, this programme is set up specifically so that it builds on skills learnt in earlier modules. Even if you have prior knowledge about the topic or may wish to jump between modules, we encourage you to go through the modules in order. After you have completed the entire programme, given you will have lifetime access to the programme, you may wish to revisit parts that resonate most with you. That is encouraged. Take whatever support you need to help you along your healing journey.

  • The programme is delivered asynchronously with a mixture of videos, handouts, or exercises, and quizzes. The videos help you go through relevant concepts. You can then use the handouts or exercises to apply the concepts to your personal experience and delve deeper into the specific concepts discussed in the videos. The quizzes are there to consolidate your understanding and are not graded in any way.

  • You have lifetime access to this programme. You can complete the programme at your own pace once you have purchased it. Please note that programme materials may be updated from time to time to improve accessibility and clarity.

  • Not with the online programme. It is natural that you would like to gain further support from connecting and interacting with other participants. We offer a separate monthly support group that you are welcome to become a member of. Please email us on info@drdakshahirani.com or call us on 07467 596697 for more details.
