Hi! My name is Stacey Sanderson and I live and work in Peterborough, Ontario. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Social Worker, and more recently trained in life coaching. I am soon to have my first book published! I have spent over two decades researching narcissism and the impact of relational trauma on people’s self esteem and physical health. The best information and wisdom about this has come from being in conversation with hundreds of people. This has helped clients, of course, but has also been my own healing journey. My passion and mission is helping people to understand patterns of narcissism, in relationships, organizations and communities, how to find healthy boundaries, take care of their energy and find empowerment and meaning.
My husband and I have two adult children and three fur babies. We love small town country life. You can find me on the water in my boat or kayak, running, hiking, gardening, curling, cooking and I am a rugby enthusiast.

As a practising psychotherapist, Stacey Sanderson takes a holistic and trauma-based approach to healing in her work with clients who are—or have been—involved in narcissistic relationships. In Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, she delves into the roots and consequences of such relationships through a comprehensive examination of a number of factors, including attachment theory, family dynamics, and early childhood trauma. At times, Stacey draws upon her own personal experience of recovery to bring her point poignantly home. The book includes a series of self-directed exercises, or “Journal Prompts,” to help readers develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of toxic relationships in their own lives. With Stacey’s guidance, this self-delving leads readers toward self-compassion and healing through what she refers to as “Compassionate Detachment.” BUY HERE
