Glenn: We will all have some form of trauma, these emotional wounds that normally have come from our childhood where we've interpreted certain situations in a way. The problem being with a narcissist is their protector parts then become their false sense of self. You can never get beyond that to work on that inner child wound. If I could work with a narcissists and help them heal those inner child wounds, I do it in a heartbeat.
