Are Narcissists Born This Way?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today's episode, we will talk about something I get asked a lot - are narcissists born that way? We will discuss the impact of intergenerational trauma on a narcissist's development, the role of their protective parts, and the root causes of their behaviour.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What You Will Learn In This Episode:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Why we say that narcissists are formed and not born</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- The connection between a narcissist's intergenerational trauma and how their protective parts show up</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- How worthiness wounds are formed </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Why as a society, we must start looking more at the root causes than symptoms of narcissistic behaviour</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we talk about compassion, and understanding narcissistic behaviour, we are not talking about justifying their abuse. We talk about using empathy to understand the origin of their conduct, to know what triggers it, and to understand what it triggers in us, so we can build boundaries around it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Join my Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme™</span> <a href= "https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Join my Facebook group at</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Connect with me on Instagram:</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com
