In this episode, Dr. Ettensohn explores the profound insights of Alice Miller regarding the emotional abandonment and narcissistic use of the child, focusing on how these early dynamics shape pathological narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Drawing from Miller's groundbreaking work, Dr. Ettensohn examines how a child growing up in a narcissogenic environment learns to adapt by creating a false self—a facade designed to secure love and avoid rejection in a world where their authentic self is not welcome. The episode explores the function of grandiosity as a defense mechanism—an unconscious strategy to deny the pain of unmet emotional needs—and its counterpart, depression (narcissistic vulnerability), which turns the pain inward. Both defenses serve to protect the individual from confronting a devastating loss: the realization that the love and support they needed was not available. The episode offers a compassionate exploration of how this tragic loss gives rise to the false self, a defense that becomes both a survival strategy and a prison. Through relatable metaphors and clinical insight, Dr. Ettensohn describes the psychological toll of living behind this mask and the challenges of reconnecting with the buried authentic self. Though the loss cannot be undone, healing is possible. By grieving the past and clearing away the defenses, it is possible to rediscover the vibrant, authentic self that has always been there, waiting to emerge. References: Miller, A.

Through his TikTok content, he shares raw and insightful accounts of living with NPD, and Dr. Hensley reflects on how his perspective has deepened her understanding of the condition, especially its origins and impact on relationships.The episode begins with The Nameless Narcissist recounting his journey to self-awareness, including his path to an NPD diagnosis after two years of therapy. He candidly discusses the challenge of being diagnosed due to the nature of NPD, where manipulation and deflection can mask the true symptoms.Dr. Hensley then poses a compelling question: “What's the one thing you wish people knew about NPD?” His answer highlights the human side of narcissism—that beneath the harmful behaviors, people with NPD still seek connection, worth, and love. He explains that while experts often understand the behaviors, they sometimes miss the underlying motivations.The conversation shifts to the role of control in narcissism. Dr. Hensley brings up a fascinating point from The Nameless Narcissist's content—that control isn't about achieving specific outcomes but proving one's capability to control. This stems from a need for self-esteem regulation, a recurring theme in the discussion.Dr. Hensley shares her personal experience with a narcissistic ex-partner who was a serial cheater. She theorizes his behavior stemmed from a need for constant external validation, which The Nameless Narcissist connects back to the “grandiose highs” that regulate self-esteem.The Nameless Narcissist also delves into his healing journey, including how exploring his caregivers' pain and trauma helped him release some of his childhood wounds. This insight into intergenerational trauma is a powerful reminder of the complexities behind NPD.The episode touches on the rare self-awareness among those with NPD, with research suggesting only 1% reach this stage. However, The Nameless Narcissist argues the true number is likely higher, as many may feel too much shame to admit their struggles publicly.Finally, the discussion turns to theories of narcissism's origins. The Nameless Narcissist shares his perspective, describing grandiosity as a safety mechanism to counter deep feelings of unworthiness—a way to feel anything at all.Dr. Hensley wraps up by thanking The Nameless Narcissist for his bravery and empathy, both for those with NPD and for those who've been hurt by narcissistic behavior. She encourages listeners to explore his content for further understanding of NPD and its complexities.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand narcissism through a lens of compassion, insight, and healing.

Watch this episode on Youtube Today, I'm catching up with past guest Coach Ralphiel Toulon, MCPC, SuperMom, Certified Life Coach, and Personal Trainer. It's been two years since Coach Ralph and I first spoke, and during that time, she has experienced some significant life changes. When we first spoke, Coach Ralph was in the midst of her marriage, navigating the complexities of her husband's diagnosis with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This led to a lot of challenges, but at the time, he had shown vast improvement and a real commitment to becoming better—specifically, learning how to express empathy in a way that wasn't harmful to those around him. Because of that progress, she decided to continue the marriage and even launched a program aimed at helping other women in relationships with narcissists who were determined to make it work. In our hour-long conversation, we dive deep into co-parenting, step-parenting, what it's really like being married to a narcissist, and the emotional toll it takes when things don't go as hoped. Coach Ralph candidly shares her journey and what happens when everything falls flat despite your best efforts. Follow Ralph : instagram.com/ralphthecoach Sponsored by NajaHallBeauty and VIPStepmom

“In a narcissistically abusive relationship, sex can become a tool of weaponry, a tool of control,” declares Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist. In this episode, she joins Dr. Z to unpack the intricate relationship between sex and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Dr. Balestrieri, founder of Modern Intimacy and host of the “Get Naked with Dr. Kate” podcast, delves into the subtle tactics of sexual coercion and emotional manipulation commonly used by someone with NPD. She discusses how, within these relationships, sex is used as a tool to seek validation, power, and control. The conversation also touches on the function and impact of infidelity and pornography in these relationship dynamics. Listen to this episode of Next Up: Narcissism to get a deep and insightful look into the role of sex within Narcissistic Personality Disorder, offering valuable strategies for those who are affected by this type of abusive behavior. Quotes “In a narcissistically abusive relationship, sex can become a tool of weaponry, a tool of control. It becomes bait, a way to keep someone suctioned into the relationship. It provides a false sense of security and can be a bomb used to perpetuate the cycle of abuse.” (03:13 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) “When we understand narcissism, we recognize that it's really about the person, organized in this fashion, trying to prop up a sense of self that they can feel okay about. At its core, narcissism is rooted in shame and self-loathing. Narcissists cope with these feelings by projecting various manufactured images. Sex becomes another tool they use to prop up that image for themselves and the world. It becomes a way for them to gain supply, attention, validation, control, and power.” (05:34 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) “We have to remember that narcissism is a condition of objectification. With a fragmented sense of self, they objectify everyone in their life; everyone serves a purpose to bolster them up. For someone partnered with a narcissist, their partner serves a particular function. One of the key elements of objectification is instrumentality, where the person becomes an object or instrument for serving the narcissist.” (24:36 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) Links Connect with Dr. Kate Balestrieri: TikTok @drkatebalestrieri https://www.tiktok.com/@drkatebalestrieri?lang=en IG: https://www.instagram.com/drkatebalestrieri Website: www.modernintimacy.com Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Dating Decoder with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice. Episode 10: Are They a Narcissist? In this enlightening episode of "The Love Doc Podcast," Dr. Hensley dives into the complex world of narcissism. Drawing from a rich array of perspectives, including social psychology, evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, and clinical psychology, Dr. Hensley explores the intricate nature of narcissism and why it's such a widely studied yet frequently misunderstood field. Dr. Hensley begins by examining the various theories that explain how narcissism develops in individuals. She highlights how the term "narcissist" is often overused in contemporary discourse, leading to confusion between narcissistic traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This distinction is crucial, as NPD can be both over-diagnosed and under-diagnosed. True narcissists possess a remarkable ability to manipulate those around them, including their therapists, making accurate diagnosis challenging. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing how romantic relationships can exacerbate narcissistic traits. Dr. Hensley explains that the degree of perceived threat within these relationships can amplify existing narcissistic behaviors, complicating the dynamics between partners. One of the highlights of the episode is Dr. Hensley's in-depth analysis of attachment styles and their potential to be misinterpreted as NPD. She clarifies that attachment behaviors, while sometimes similar to narcissistic traits, are rooted in changeable behaviors that primarily manifest in romantic relationships. In contrast, true narcissism permeates all areas of a narcissist's life, including relationships with authority figures. Dr. Hensley also sheds light on the differences between overt and covert narcissists, offering her perspective on which type she considers more dangerous. This segment provides listeners with a nuanced understanding of how narcissistic behaviors can vary widely and the specific risks associated with each type. Throughout the episode, both Dr. Hensley and her co-host, Raina Butcher, share their personal experiences with narcissists, adding a relatable and practical dimension to the discussion. In the final segment, Dr. Hensley addresses the profound impact of narcissism on children, emphasizing how narcissists often use their children to exert control and manipulate, resulting in deep psychological scars. Dr. Hensley and Raina conclude the episode with a message of hope, providing practical advice and resources for those dealing with narcissistic abuse. They emphasize that understanding and addressing narcissism can lead to healthier relationships and personal growth. Join Dr. Hensley and Raina Butcher for this compelling and insightful exploration of narcissism, offering valuable perspectives for anyone navigating relationships with narcissistic individuals.

Narcissus was born in Ancient Greece, and was one day warned that he would live a long life as long as 'he never knows himself.' As he reached his teenage years, the handsome youth never found anyone that could pull his heartstrings, instead, he left in his wake a long trail of distressed and broken-hearted maidens. Then, one day, he chanced to see his own reflection in a pool of water and, thus, discovered the ultimate in unrequited love and fell in love with himself. Naturally, this one-way relationship went nowhere, and Narcissus, unable to draw himself away from the pool, pined away in despair until he finally died of thirst and starvation. Immortality, at least of a kind, was assured, though, when his body turned into the flowers which, thereafter, bore his name. Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. My guest today is Danu Morrigan. We've all met that person who is a little to self-absorbed.

She'll tell us what it is, what it means, what it's like to be raised by someone with it, and ultimately how to go no contact.

“Money is just the vehicle in which they do it,” explains Dr. Z, referring to “financial abuse,” a common manipulative tactic used by those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). In this episode, Dr. Z delves into the damaging impact of financial control in narcissistic abusive relationships, especially within marriages. She discusses how narcissists exploit financial dominance to manipulate their partners, emphasizing the need to identify and recognize these often subtle behaviors early in the relationship. Dr. Z explains how, particularly in the early stages of a relationship, these behaviors are frequently overlooked as being truly genuine. However, she warns that these seemingly generous acts are nothing more than love-bombing behaviors with the goal being to gain control over the other person. Dr. Z also provides examples of financially abusive behaviors including restricting their partner's access to funds, withholding money, extreme and unnecessary micromanaging of their spending, and running up debt in their partner's name without their knowledge- all of which create a significant financial dependency, leaving the person with very limited options to be able to exit the relationship. Dr. Z also offers crucial advice for those affected by financial abuse, suggesting various strategies to regain financial independence within these relationships. Quotes “In the beginning of a relationship, financial abuse starts as love bombing, in a sense... In the beginning stages of a relationship, it gives you a sense of comfort. It makes you believe that this other person is invested in you because they're making these long-term plans with you where your finances are interconnected.” (03:19 | Dr. Z) “It's not even about the money. It's the function of that behavior, withholding money or being in total control over it. That's what it's about. It's about control, manipulation, and power. Money is just the vehicle in which they do it.” (12:52 | Dr. Z) “One of the biggest reasons why people stay in these relationships is that financially, they cannot leave. They feel stuck.” (18:01 | Dr. Z) “Narcissists do not want you to be independent from them because it's less control for them, less power.” (19:37 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“It is such a buzzword right now, which is good and bad,” says Dr. Z of the word narcissism. “We hear the terms narcissism and narcissistic abuse everywhere.” In this debut episode of “Next Up: Narcissism,” Dr. Z, a licensed clinical psychologist and narcissistic abuse expert, reconnects with her listeners to establish her mission: to provide accurate information for understanding narcissism and its impact on relationships, untangling the complexities of narcissistic abuse. Delving into the ABCs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Dr. Z gives an overview of key concepts and behaviors linked to narcissism and narcissistic abuse. She discusses the narcissist's routine avoidance of accountability as well as their attempts to socially isolate their partner. She also explains concepts like gaslighting and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), a common strategy used to confuse and manipulate people into doubting their own reality. Dr. Z also discusses the absence of empathy within NPD and how this absence manifests into early relationship behaviors such as future faking and love bombing. Additional relational behaviors common to NPD such as hoovering and boundary violations disguised as "you're my soulmate" are also explained. This episode also touches on the harsh realization one faces as they come to truly understand the full extent of the abuse they have endured along with the often quiet suffering secondary to fear, shame, and isolation. Dr. Z aims to educate and empower her listeners with accurate knowledge, skills, and strategies to not only recognize the red flags of narcissistic abuse early on, but to also begin their healing process. Quotes “There are so many TikTok and Instagram therapists out there that aren't really therapists and giving inaccurate information. What I do think is essential to treatment when I'm working with somebody who is a survivor of narcissistic abuse are survivor stories. They are so unbelievably important in the journey of healing. In addition to survivor stories, you must make sure that the information you're getting, the treatment that you're getting, the suggestions that you're getting, and the strategies that you're getting are from a qualified mental health professional who is a specialist in this field.” (03:27 | Dr. Z) “We know narcissists are routinely avoiding accountability. They will not take accountability for any of their behaviors or the hurtful consequences of their behaviors. They just won't do it.” (07:04 | Dr. Z) “We care about other people. We care about their emotions. We want other people to be well. Narcissists don't—only if it benefits them. But again, it's fake empathy. Narcissists are amazing at faking empathy.” (13:41 | Dr. Z) “Hoovering is a calculated move in which the narcissist does something to suck you back into the abuse cycle.” (23:40 | Dr. Z) “Being in a relationship with somebody who has a narcissistic personality disorder, whether it's a parent, a friend, a colleague, your spouse, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, it doesn't matter. It's going to constantly feel like a yo-yo. It's a constant push and pull.” (54:50 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

2 of the Gaslight-Proof ladies talk about Denial. Denial and narcissism are psychological concepts that are often intertwined, especially when discussing individuals with narcissistic personality traits or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Let's explore each concept separately and then discuss how they can be interconnected. Denial: Denial is a defense mechanism that involves refusing to accept reality or the truth of a situation. It is a way for individuals to protect themselves from uncomfortable or distressing thoughts, feelings, or information. People in denial may ignore evidence, downplay the significance of events, or distort reality to maintain a more positive self-image. Denial can be an obstacle to personal growth and can hinder the ability to address and overcome challenges. Narcissism: Narcissism refers to a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. While everyone may exhibit some narcissistic traits from time to time, individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) display these characteristics to an extreme and pervasive degree. They often have a grandiose view of their own abilities and achievements, an overwhelming desire for excessive attention and admiration, and a lack of insight into the impact of their behavior on others. Now, let's explore the connection between denial and narcissism: Denial in Narcissism: Self-Image Protection: Individuals with narcissistic traits may engage in denial to protect their inflated self-image. They might refuse to acknowledge flaws, mistakes, or shortcomings, as doing so would threaten their grandiose self-perception. Lack of Self-Reflection: Narcissists often struggle with self-reflection and introspection. They may avoid confronting aspects of themselves that do not align with their idealized self-image, leading to a form of denial regarding their own imperfections. Impact on Relationships: Empathy Deficit: Narcissists often struggle with empathizing with others. Their denial of others' feelings or needs may stem from their intense focus on their own desires and aspirations. Blame Shifting: When faced with criticism or accountability, narcissists may engage in denial by deflecting blame onto others. They may refuse to accept responsibility for their actions and instead shift the focus onto external factors. Treatment Challenges: Resistance to Therapy: Individuals with narcissistic traits may resist therapy or counseling due to their denial of personal issues. Acknowledging the need for help contradicts their belief in their own perfection. Limited Insight: Even if in therapy, a narcissist may struggle to gain insight into their behavior and its impact on others. Denial can be a significant barrier to therapeutic progress. Understanding the dynamics of denial and narcissism is crucial for those dealing with individuals who exhibit such traits, whether in personal relationships or professional settings. It's important to approach these situations with empathy and, when possible, encourage the individual to seek professional help for personal growth and development.

The 9 Traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) from the perspective of a diagnosed Narcissist Welcome my channel!

This is Episode 13: Avengers: Infinity War.Topics of DiscussionIn a 2018 article written by Mary Ingram, Thanos is described as a “Sociopath with a heart.”The article imagines a therapy session and intervention with Thanos.“By the time this client told me this about his past, I had already diagnosed him with both Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD). The first is characterized by grandiosity, preoccupations with limitless power, beliefs in his own special purpose that no one else understands, entitlement, exploitation of others, lack of empathy, and arrogance. “Megalomaniac” fits well here. The second is characterized by repeated law-breaking, aggressiveness, and lack of remorse.”Initial diagnosis would be schizophrenia for his appeared delusional conceptions.Intervention: Talking about the killing his daughter –“So I wonder if your internal unrest stems first from the confusion and unfamiliarity of truly loving someone, and second from how that love (and its loss, at your own hand no less) deters from the triumph of realizing your dream. Does that fit?”Reply: “Love…” he said, voice dripping with indignation. “You're saying that's what's bothering me, what tears my soul and keeps me from sleeping? Love has always been irrelevant,” he paused. “Though, it was apparently useful for gaining the Soul Stone.” His huge shoulders sagged. “My heart broke when I lost her, my little one, my fighter. But, in that moment, I thought it would be worth it, a worthy exchange, one she would have willingly died for if she truly understood me, if she could truly see the paradise I saw, the paradise I was creating.”His narcissism was kicking up again here. I decided to go with it, connect with as much love as was there, but also wrap in his self-admiration.“Long ago you had seen, in this struggling little girl on a dying planet, the fighter, the determination, the defiance in the face of the enemy. You had seen yourself in her. And you raised her to be your little one, even a little you. She became a part of you.” His eyes widened with these statements, some truth clicking into place for him.“You thought, after killing her, after destroying a living, breathing, beautiful piece of yourself, that it would be worth it.” I paused, then asked softly, “Was it worth it?”Outcome:I still don't know if what Thanos felt was love, which requires something fundamentally antithetical to someone with APD: empathy. Did he mourn out of guilt for ending the life of a person he loved and cared for, a person whose happiness and wellbeing he valued? Or did he only feel regret because he projected onto her an image of himself, and his narcissistic pride could not fathom why he might intentionally harm anything that was his? Is empathy, the ability to deeply understand and feel another's emotions, really any different from seeing ourselves in another person?Premise of DiscussionWhat might be psychologically wrong with Thanos? As a confusing and perplexingly complex character, how does it feel to try and imagine diagnosing him. Does it hold up? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David & Sherie start to explore what narcissism is and how to spot it. This is the first in a series where we explore not only what it is but how to deal with someone who is a narcissist.
Many individuals assert that therapy is ineffective for individuals diagnosed or meeting the criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). However, it is important to recognize that therapy can indeed be beneficial. The primary challenge lies in the fact that narcissists rarely seek professional assistance due to their distorted worldview, which leads them to believe that the issue lies with others rather than within themselves. As psychologist Mike King straightforwardly states, “...a narcissist isn't going to believe there is anything wrong with him and would laugh in your face.” Therefore, the fundamental question becomes: How can one persuade someone who does not perceive the need for help to consider seeking it? Let's dive in deeper.
Answering the question of whether narcissists possess free will proves to be a complex endeavor, as it does not lend itself to a simple yes or no response. Our perception often leads us to consider individuals with specific mental disabilities or conditions as not being fully responsible for their actions, but this evaluation becomes more intricate when examining those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Understanding one's own behavior can be challenging for anyone, but the complexity intensifies in individuals with a personality disorder. In today's podcast episode, we will explore the intricacies of the narcissistic mind, shedding light on why the concept of free will is far from straightforward.
If you are currently involved with an individual displaying narcissistic traits, you may have experienced moments where you expressed the need for personal space to clear your mind. However, it is rare to hear a narcissist themselves make such a request. Given the distinctive characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), it raises legitimate questions about the true meaning when a narcissist claims they need space. In this podcast episode, we will go into the underlying motives behind their behaviors and verbal expressions.

The channel started as a way to make use of extra interview footage from the documentary film BORDERLINE (watch at borderlinethefilm.com). It has grown into a continued effort to offer information to people that might help them get a proper diagnosis and good treatment, as well as a place where clinicians and those working in the mental health field can learn to be better treaters. The goal is to democratize access to quality information, create positive change in the mental health field, and to do it artfully and with feeling. https://www.youtube.com/@BorderlinerNotes/featured If you have comments about this episode or topics you'd like me to explore in future episodes, please submit them here: https://www.rachellelamb.com/contact-rachelle
It's no secret that children can be a bit self-absorbed at times, but as they grow up, they typically learn to appreciate others and show gratitude. However, for some teenagers with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), this natural progression doesn't happen. In fact, their narcissistic tendencies only intensify as they become more involved in the world around them. So, how can you tell if your teen is struggling with NPD?

In fact, there have been numerous famous narcissists throughout history who have shaped global events and left a mark on our cultural heritage, for better or for worse. While narcissism can cause an array of dysfunctional traits in those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), it can also fuel an unparalleled perseverance and drive to achieve one's goals, if only to reinforce their perceived superiority. In this article, we'll explore the complex relationship between narcissism and success, and uncover how the traits associated with NPD can lead to remarkable accomplishments. Get ready to be inspired and surprised by the achievements of these famous narcissists.
Welcome to this episode, where we explore the challenges of treating narcissism and the types of psychotherapy that work best for individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). We discuss how difficult it can be to help narcissists due to their lack of awareness of their problem and the internalized self-loathing that causes them to view any guidance as criticism. Additionally, their fragile self-esteem requires a delicate approach by therapists to guide them through a treatment plan. We examine the particular pitfalls that therapists must avoid when treating a narcissist, and why it's crucial to understand these when trying to help a narcissist in your life.
Narcissist. The word is so overused as to apply to everyone and no one. What's going on? Well, narcissism is an important issue to me personally, as I have a great deal of personal experience dealing with these folks. I'll get into that a bit on this episode. And narcissism is truly a big deal when you consider that potentially 1 out of every 10 people has full blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and far more than that have strong narcissistic tendencies. These folks cause DAMAGE! And one of the things that angers me most about these individuals is that our society runs on trust. Without trust, our society will break down. While most people are honest and trustworthy, narcissists use our trust and exploit it for their own personal gain. In so doing, they threaten the very fabric of our society. And narcissists aren't interested in being anchored in truth, they are more interested in what they can tell you in order to manipulate you, facts be damned.In this episode…What is narcissism?What are the symptoms?How does one become narcissistic?How do you deal with a narcissist?Can a narcissist heal?What to do if you are a child of a narcissistic parent?And how to spot a narcissist!If you like what you've heard at The Evolved Caveman podcast, support us by subscribing, leaving reviews on Apple podcasts.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: It seems in recent years, people have become more familiar with the terms narcissist or narcissism, especially as a component of abusive situations. While there is a lot of information out there, not all of it is accurate, so I wanted to share my perspective as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist. We're changing things up just a bit this week. My friend, Aliene Thompson, founder of Treasured Ministries, and I were recently talking about narcissism, and I asked her if she would join me on the program to help guide the conversation while I share insight from a clinical perspective. So, in today's episode we'll be discussing How to Spot the Narcissist in Your Life! Quotables from the episode: Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a clinical disorder. Such individuals have inflated self-importance, arrogance, pride, vanity, lack of empathy & lack of self-awareness. A narcissist is someone who loves themselves most of all. They believe they are the center of the universe and no one else matters. They worship themselves. One in three women are the target of domestic abuse. That accounts for 1.6 million American women between the ages of 16-74. In a narcissistic relationship, the abused begins to question themselves, experiences guilt, shame, loss of self-esteem. If you're in a relationship with a narcissist, you may find yourself feeling devalued, invisible, and even worthless. People with narcissism often have a sense of entitlement and require constant validation and approval. While it's true that most diagnosed narcissists are men, it's important to remember that narcissism is a personality disorder that can affect anyone, regardless of gender. Gaslighting is a real phenomenon, and it's a form of emotional abuse. This is when they try to make you question your own reality and memory. Narcissistic personality disorder is a serious mental illness that can be extremely destructive to both the narcissist and those around them. Scripture References: James 1:19-20 “. . . let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” 1 Cor. 13:4-8a "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Navigating a toxic relationship with a narcissist is incredibly difficult and it's easy to start drinking as a coping mechanism to escape. You may have a partner who is a narcissist, have grown up with a narcissistic mother or father, or navigating co-parenting your children with a narcissistic ex. And if you're in a relationship with a narcissist and you're drinking a lot, they will use your drinking as a tool to further confuse and gaslight you, or blame you for situations where they need to take responsibility and make changes. Quitting drinking is a powerful way to get clarity and take more control in a relationship with a narcissist, whether it's a parent, sibling, partner or ex. I asked Heather Kent, a registered psychotherapist and trauma recovery specialist with an expertise in PTSD, Narcissism, Narcissistic abuse, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Trauma Recovery to share how she helps women through the process of ending abusive and toxic relationships, and re-building their lives after they have left.

Why are narcissists so mean? Narcissists put you down often - way more often than most people even realize. (This is the psychology of why they do it and how to deal) People who suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) need to put others down. It is really in their very nature to do so, and they are drawn to people that are successful because they want to feel like they are better than them or superior to them. People with NPD can be incredibly toxic people, and if you have encountered one in your lifetime you know exactly how hard it can be to deal with them. If you've been unfortunate enough to experience being a narcissistic supply, then you'll know how important it is to be aware of the psychology of why narcissists do what they do. Even a covert narcissist can leave your head spinning. Here, Angie Atkinson will explain how and why the narcissist feels the need to put you down, and how trauma bonding makes it all so much more difficult for you - whether dealing with a narcissistic husband or wife, or even a narcissistic mother or father.
