A Non Pathologizing Approach To Narcissism

<p class="MsoNormal">I was recently a guest on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast with Glennon Doyle and I wanted to dive deeper into what I discussed there and share with you the issues about the medicalization of narcissistic personality disorder and why we can’t treat narcissism after the fact without looking at the root cause first. I’ll also share my opinion on the overuse of the word narcissist and why people casually putting that label on others is dangerous.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>What you will learn in this episode:</strong></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">The root cause of narcissistic personality disorder</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">How a narcissist should be diagnosed through Internal Family Systems</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Why you’re negative habits could be caused by narcissistic abuse</li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal">In this episode, I’ll also discuss the varying levels of narcissistic abuse and what can cause a narcissist to escalate their behaviour, why you shouldn’t try to change a narcissist, and why you can only focus on your own healing.
