Every experience in life and every encounter with others changes us. We are never the same person again. Narcissistic abuse is no exception. But you can fully recover and heal from it, albeit a changed, wiser person. Crisis: a break in the order of things. Leads to disorientation, confusion. Crisis theory Maturational crisis Narcissistic abuse challenges assumptions about the world, people (theory of mind), and relationships (internal working model, IWM): 1. People are rational and self-interested, but most people are good. 2. Justice, order, and structure are fundamental to the universe. Reality and people in it are trustworthy. 3. The world is not hostile. At worst, it is indifferent. 4. One good deed deserves another (vs. no good deed goes unpunished). If you try hard enough and are sincere, things will work out. 5. You gain credit with people when you behave well. This credit is not forgotten, nor ignored. 6. Reality is a shared experience (intersubjectivity). People are very much the same. 7. Being alone is worse than being together. 8. You deserve love. 9. You can trust yourself: your judgment, reality testing, self-love. 10. There is always a way to undo wrong and evil because they are rarely intentional. Regret, remorse, guilt, shame, and conscience are common to all people.

The narcissist abuses his intimate partners, significant others, and nearest and dearest because it helps him to regulate his excruciating abandonment anxiety in 4 ways: (1) Devaluing others restores his sense of superiority and grandiosity; (2) He preempts his own abandonment by precipitating it and, thus, controlling the situation; (3) His abusive conduct helps him to learn more about his "loved" ones by observing their reactions and this added information alleviates his anxiety; (4) Abuse works: it leads to the modification of the victims' behavior and to submissiveness. There are 5 effective coping styles: (1) Submissiveness; (2) Counterdependent/conflictive stance; (3) Mirroring; (4) Collusion; (5) Displacement (redirecting the abuse at third parties) which is a form of cultish shared psychosis.

Grieving in the wake of narcissistic abuse is a fantasy. We mourn the shared fantasy via a fantasy of grief. We internalize the narcissist’s snapshot of us which started off as a mental representation of reality and then became an idealized, fantastic, constant, internal object. We do it to both please the narcissist and to answer the question: what does he want from me? (Lacan’s neurotic fantasy). Self-contained vs. incorporating fantasy: reality repressed or reframed (cathected fiction, symbols, signifying structure), involves compensatory wish fulfillment (future) or reconstruction (past): erotic, aggressive, self-aggrandising, ego-syntonic, soothing (defensive, to avoid trauma, Lacan), and experimental (testing out scenarios safely). In a shared fantasy, these roles are outsourced, allowing for passivity and a sense of safety and stability. In this sense, the intimate partner in a shared fantasy is rendered a borderline.

Longitudinal studies provide substantial evidence for a high rate of symptomatic remission in borderline personality disorder (BPD), while social and vocational functioning seems to remain consistently impaired. Less data is available on recovery and the associated objective and personal indicators. We examined 58 patients 12–18 years after their diagnosis of BPD and compared two different recovery criteria: observer-based global assessment of functioning and self-rated satisfaction with life (SWL). Symptomatic remission was observed in 81% of the participants (according to DSM-IV), but only 44% of them achieved a GAF level 60, and only 49% reported SWL within the range of one standard deviation of the normal population. In line with previous research, our data show that DSM symptom remission alone is an insufficient indicator for recovery from BPD. Replacing the GAF with patient-reported satisfaction with life considers empowerment in BPD and offers an efficient alternative criterion for recovery.

The 10-year outcome for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is diagnostic remission in 85% to 93%; however, less than half achieve good social and vocational functioning, and few attain full psychosocial recovery. To assess the gap between ...

She explains that at this age, children begin to recognize relationships beyond themselves, particularly between their parents. McWilliams recounts an anecdote where her daughters and niece discuss marriage to their father, highlighting children's early understanding of family dynamics. She emphasizes Freud's interest in children's sexual fantasies regarding their parents but also acknowledges other psychologists' focus on the broader development of mentalization, the capacity to understand others' minds. McWilliams stresses that this phase marks a crucial shift from egocentrism to recognizing others as subjective beings. Failure to develop this capacity can lead to difficulties in empathy and seeing others as more than objects. She distinguishes between pre-Oedipal and Oedipal patients, noting that the latter have internalized the ability to hold conflicting feelings towards others, essential for healthy relationships. The discussion underscores the importance of this developmental phase in shaping individuals' ability to empathize and navigate social interactions effectively. ================ #psychoanalyst #psychoanalysis #freud ----------------------------- 00:00 🧠 Understanding the Oedipal Complex 03:53 💭 Developing the Capacity to Mentalize 05:43 🔄 Pre-Oedipal vs. Oedipal Patients

Academics not immune to the temptations of instant celebrity guaranteed by churning out a study about narcissism. Difference between real study (randomized trial), population study, and meta analysis. Meta analyses “have the potential to mislead seriously, particularly if specific study designs, within-study biases, variation across studies, and reporting biases are not carefully considered.” (Cochrane Training) Problems with this and most other studies and meta analyses about narcissism: They are not randomized trial Many use proprietary tests and questionnaires that are not validated Children and adolescents included Dearth of people diagnosed with NPD and no comorbidities. Most subjects are narcissistic style and dark triad. Subjects only from the industrialized countries, white, male, often college students Arbitrary, idiosyncratic classifications Nine clinical features and trait domains of narcissism: Lack of empathy Fear of intimacy (insecure attachment style) Disturbed or diffuse identity Attention seeking behaviors Grandiosity (cognitive distortion) Anankastia Negative affectivity, including fragility (bad object) Dissociality (antisocial behaviors) Antagonism Only the last 2 traits mellow with age, not owing to learning from experience (the narcissist is incapable of that), but probably for biological reasons.

The narcissist's honesty is weaponized in 2 ways: 1. Self-disclosure intended to hurt or disillusion 2. Hurtful observations. Such sadism is antisocial. Narcissist indulges in it when he had become completely self-sufficient via self-supply (self-audiencing).

Vulnerable narcissists experience negative effects like shame, envy, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Narcissistic rage is a real thing. And when it comes in different forms it isn’t just limited to screaming and yelling… or even husbands. Narcissistic abuse can happen in many different ways. From raging husbands to jealous family members, Narcissists have a tendency to use words and language in manipulative ways to damage, alter, or otherwise control someone’s behavior. Combine this manipulation with rage, then you’ve got Narcissistic Rage. For many, this is very scary. That's why I've put this video together to help people realize what Narc Rage really is.
