Narcissistic Personality Disorder is an inflated sense of self-importance and issues feeling empathy for others and a need for constant praise and attention. These features make interpersonal relationships extremely difficult for people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which can have a detrimental effect in all areas of life.
Often, people with NPD are sensitive to criticism and underneath their grandiose exterior is a great deal of self-consciousness.
Available Treatment Options
Therapist interventions for people with NPD include attempting to get the person to be aware of the consequences of their behaviors, processing emotions related to the hurt they may have caused, and developing strategies to engage in healthy behavior patterns in relationships.

Stressful events experienced in early life often lead to negative self-image and sabotaging mechanisms in adult life.

Often when we are struggling with a concern or difficulty in living, we can't help but feel as if we are stuck in a pattern that feels too daunting to make our way out of, even if we have a sense of what it takes to live differently.

Mick Jagger’s well known refrain tells a story, "I can’t get no satisfaction.” When this refrain becomes a personal credo, our patterned responses to life’s disappointments may provide clues for a way forward. For all of us, the world can disappoint. If what happens next leaves us feeling stymied and lethargic, backed into a corner with no where to go but down, it is possible thinking and talk...

The journey is as important as the destination and the detours provide for some amazing insights. Consistency is...

Listen, here’s the thing. If you’ve come this far, you’ve most likely read a lot of therapist profiles, and may read a lot more. Any therapist is probably going to tell you that they are equipped with what it takes to help you, and for the most part, that’s probably true. But just like any relationship, the therapist/client relationship has to be two things: A good fit, And not an easy fix. The...
