Hi, I\u2019m Alexander Burgemeester, the founder and creator of The Narcissistic Life. I hold a Master\u2019s in Clinical Psychology<\/a> and have spent the past decade working as a psychologist in the Netherlands. I currently live with my wife (another psychologist!) and our two cats in Amsterdam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an emphasis on neuropsychology, I have extensive clinical experience treating patients recovering from strokes, traumatic medical injuries, dementia, Alzheimer\u2019s, and Korsakoff Syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Did I start this website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My love for technology began at a young age. I made my first website when the Internet was only a few years old- at the time, Google didn\u2019t even exist. But I enjoyed tinkering around with websites and educating visitors who found my content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, I\u2019ve always loved psychology. The human mind fascinates me- I wanted to understand how it works and why humans do what we do. So blending my interests in technology and psychology felt entirely natural, and it\u2019s why I began this website in 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My passion for understanding narcissism emerged from my personal encounters with narcissists. A combination of time, experience, and my professional background taught me the best ways to manage those toxic relationships. I eventually learned that limiting contact with those people significantly boosted my happiness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this website can empower readers to understand narcissism and set necessary boundaries. But despite the website name, narcissism isn\u2019t the only topic we address. We explore the complexities of all relationships and how these dynamics affect self-esteem, personality, and development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
