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.

We seek counseling (aka psychotherapy) because we are in pain. When the pain gets bad enough, after we've tried lots of other ways to neutralize or reverse it - solutions, distractions, addictions, numbing - we may finally say to ourselves, "Nothing is working, I need help." This is brave. The very fact that you are looking for help on this website is brave. I know it's a hard step to take, and...
