Are You Struggling With a Narcissistic Personality?

Home » Areas of Specialty » Narcissistic Personality » Page 186

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.

I am glad you are here. It is not easy for many people to reach out for support. It takes a lot of courage and strength to be vulnerable with someone you barely know. My goal in the first couple of sessions is to build rapport and trust with each other and currently, we are experiencing something unlike anything before so therefore it is "natural" to feel uncertain, anxious and even depressed. ...
