Episode notes
NPD as PTSD and Society's Symptom
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a complex PTSD response, mostly fight then fawn, very rigid and unlikely to change.
- Current societal consumerism and individualism amplify narcissistic traits, creating a widespread symptom rather than new cases of NPD.
Compassionate Grieving for Growth
- Grieve compassionately for yourself and others to process emotional flashbacks and mature.
- Grieving forces maturity by confronting life and death truths, helping transcend emotional infancy.
Healing Rituals in Martial Arts
- Richard experienced pain relief and improved training after healing rituals in Russian martial arts.
- Healing through intent and ritual seemed effective, though scientific proof remains limited.
