Abe was kind, and has a lot of empathy in individual counselling. I am sure he can be helpful when working with one person. One on one when not in the family therapy context he built trust. However, in this case, he was offering services as a family counsellor who said he was experienced building safety where there is narcissistic or sociopathic abuse compounded by a significant power imbalance. I would not recommend him for women who are experiencing narcissistic abuse in their families. He gets parts of it in theory, but in my case he was inexperienced at holding a safe container or even noticing the ways he fell back into 'connecting' by affirming that I was the problem, rather than seeming to understand the narcissistic abuse happening in front of him. I ended up facing extreme retraumatization and the family dynamics got much worse, not better.
