This week, Dr. Hawkins lays out for you the first 3 steps of the treatment process. They are
1) Assessment of the problematic behaviors – yes, even covert abuse.
2) Ownership of the problematic behaviors – often the most difficult stage of treatment.
3) Cultivating emotional maturity – learning to deal with your emotions instead of defaulting to fight, flight or freeze.

Our treatment approach is the culmination of years of working with people with narcissistic tendencies and discovering the most effective ways of helping people break free of narcissistic behaviors and learn a healthier way of relating to themselves and to others. In addition to the three aspects mentioned, there are many other aspects involved of course, from dealing with past trauma to addictions, infidelity, etc. and we address all those issues. We come at this with a holistic approach and our goal is healthier individuals who can then have healthy functioning in their relationships.

My husband is both overt and covert narcissist. Heā€™s also bipolar but the extreme mood swings and anger go extremely low and high in the same day. He is diagnosed bipolar and canā€™t take even a slight disagreement, has zero respect for me, doesnā€™t respect boundaries is physically and mentally and emotionally abusive to the extreme. Iā€™ve got to get a divorce, heā€™s refusing to pay rent or any bills now because he couldnā€™t control every penny of my hard earned money. šŸ˜¢

Confused. ā€˜Whoā€™sā€™ ā€˜asking ā€˜you to do this ? Thatā€™s what Iā€™m pertaining about ( Iā€™m aware thatā€™s grammatically incorrect), but ā€˜who is asking you to do this – n like ā€˜who is it or even this about. Can I come clean your house? Only because I know you didnā€™t ask me , but Iā€™m gonna clean it whether it needs it , you feel it ,care , are interested or not !? Like what are u talking about dude ?

@glai5752 says:

Whether youā€™re being properly diagnosed by professionals as having NPD or having symptoms of narcissism, youā€™re a top notch jerks. Youā€™re a danger to other peopleā€™s physical, and emotional mental health being. The problem is you donā€™t even care or aware about the impact of your actions.

It doesnā€™t matter how they get here, genetics, nature vs, nurture, this is who they are today. They are extremely resistant to change. You canā€™t change what you donā€™t acknowledge.

So there are no ā€œSimpleā€ ways to treatā€¦ thatā€™s nonsense and misleading.

Please don't feed people false hope you cannot fix a narcissist because a narcissist would have to want to be fixed, and if they wanted to be fixed, they wouldn't be a narcissist

The internet can be enlightening and soul destroying at the same time. I have watched videos asking me politely to kill myself and now I have watched this.

I grew with an overt narcissistic faather. I only just realised a lot of my relationship problems stem from my father's abuse. Recently he's ignored my attempts to contact him for a year to punish me for calling him out on a not nice lie. He is full blown. I'm not. I've tried to improve so much. I started studying narcissism, and it sounds like me. I was terrified by the reality check. Yet i am not a monster but i can be.

I want to forgive myself for not being my best in my previous relationship. I really did try. I just felt so stressed all the time. It's in my body. Ii am selfish. But the tight feeling in my chest is real. Im scared to be vulnerable and always have been until now.

I've been close to being stress free my sleep…I can't sleep more than 5 hours. I've tried so much. Everything changed after depersonalization. This is the cause everyone!

It seems like the only options are for me to live a monastic life or end my life. The shame pushes me to the latter. This is real pain. I feel dead inside that i have had so many opportunities wasted. Wanting to grow but never knowing why i should.

I really need your help šŸ˜¢

@sidrakhan-b8w says:

The narrative that narcisism is not curable and narcisist can never never heal is actually destroying more n more families and leaving children in a broken houses where they need both their parents. This narrative is really taking the whole internet by storm and people are actually obeying it including me. I have made up my mind that if can never work with my narc partnerā€¦.
ThankYou for showing people like us some hope in these videos

My belief is that we all have this part or traits too. It is deeply hidden. So helping this part for ourselves will create compassion for others. IFS helped me a lot.
