Episode notes
Narcissism Explained
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) involves lacking the ability to see others as equals.
- This leads to grandiosity and an inability to accept feedback, hindering recovery from addiction.
NPD Origin
- True NPD is a lifelong condition, present from birth, unlike narcissistic traits developed from trauma.
- Trauma can create narcissistic behaviors, but these individuals retain the capacity for equality, unlike those with NPD.
Addiction vs. NPD
- Many struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors display narcissistic traits due to the nature of addiction.
- True NPD, however, is a lifelong pattern extending beyond addiction-related behaviors.
