Today is an important day for a film we are deeply honored to support.

Doug and Morgan Richard / Rooted Relational Therapy are Advocate Producers of Narcissist’s Playbook, a new feature-length documentary exposing the hidden patterns of narcissistic abuse, coercive control, gaslighting, and psychological manipulation.

Directed by filmmaker and NXIVM whistleblower Mark Vicente, the film combines survivor experiences, insight from experts including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, and remarkably candid interviews with four self-aware malignant narcissists who describe their own tactics and ways of operating.

This is not about labeling every difficult person a narcissist. It is about helping people recognize patterned abuse that can leave survivors confused, isolated, and unable to trust their own perceptions. It also helps answer questions survivors are too often asked: Why didn’t you see it? Why did you stay? Why didn’t you just leave?

Today, July 17, is the beginning of early donor access. The official launch weekend, featuring screenings, panels, expert conversations, and Q&As, will take place July 24 through 26. The film becomes available for general rental on July 29.

The official site still states that a donation of at least $19.99 includes early access. Because private access is delivered by email, we cannot guarantee how quickly access will arrive for a new donor, but you can learn more, support the film, and watch the trailer here:

Narcissistic abuse recovery has become an important specialty at Rooted Relational Therapy. Doug has completed both major Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician certification programs and offers transformational two-day recovery intensives for survivors seeking clarity, validation, and a path forward.

We are proud to help bring this film into the world. We hope it reaches survivors, clinicians, clergy, educators, advocates, friends, and family members who need a clearer understanding of how this kind of abuse works.

As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Therapist (PMH-C), Morgan Richard helps many women process birth trauma. People often assume that since the mother and their baby survived, the mom is now okay. This results in survivors of birth trauma feeling unseen and alone. At Rooted, we see you and your pain. We can work through this together. You are not alone. Call 570-884-4662 or visit our website Rootedrt.com to schedule an appointment with Morgan.

1 in 3 women experience birth trauma. Let that sink in.

And yet almost nobody talks about it.

Birth trauma isn't just physical.
It's emotional.

It's the feeling of losing control in the room.

It's the moments that replay in your mind long after you've come home.

It's PTSD...and it is real, valid, and deserving of real support.

It doesn't only affect the birthing person either.

Partners carry it too.

If your birth left you feeling scared, powerless, or broken, that is not weakness.

That is trauma.

And you do not have to carry it alone.

Please reach out to your healthcare provider or a perinatal mental health specialist.

You can also contact to find a support group near you.

You are seen.
You are heard.
You are not alone.

And healing is possible.

If this resonates — save it and share it with someone who needs to hear it today. 👇
