Sam this is perhaps my all time favorite work of yours yet. Oddly enough I’m currently deep into researching dissociation, and hearing your view on the entire mechanism from start to finish is a wellspring of knowledge and wisdom in 30 min. Thank you Professor!
As a borderline with mixed addictions: I'm barely able to comprehend and accept what you just lectured. But it's like medically, scientifically describing what's happening to me in active addiction to some extent and what's going on in my mind on psychedelics: I'm going through all stages and than is that moment when l can stay in delusions or even fantasy(while taking other drugs and alcohol too) after the trip, until reality hits so hard I'm just don't know who the F is me, my mind and my life(happened) or hopefully break into pieces, into nothingness in me, like katharsis that recently happened in relapse, only because I gained some knowledge from therapy and similar videos. I have so much work to do, to help myself. Thank you, prof. Vaknin.
Well, today i was thinking how the hell did i KNOWINGLY, BEING SUPER AWARE of the shitty ,psychopathic behavior just magically choose to overlook! I am shocked with myself. I used to think that i have a word on my choices and that i know a thing or two about human psychology..Ha! Sir Vaknin your videos are so helpful...Awakening! I can almost say I feel thankful for the narcs entry to my live, I've learnt so much about myself during this healing journey. As unbearable the pain was , it was a thrilling journey- Awakening and getting in touch with my multidimensional self and hidden truths. Are narcissists evil or the door to suffering thus; self improvement as nietzche says...Thanks Narc
Acceptance and awareness is the way to healing. So then denial can be a form of temporary protection to say a child that has been subjected to traumatizing events when repression fails?
My mind after watching this video: What are you hiding? Wait I am talking to myself. No way I could have been hiding anything from myself. Right? oh god... I'm not in denial, I'm not in denial, I'm not in denial. Puuh dodged that one.
Dr. Vaknin, can certain mental illnesses cause a similar sensation of Denial though? I feel like that's the case with OCD it makes a lot of thoughts feel real, so you go about trying to deny these thoughts as a compulsion for pure o.
Hello professor,in an interview you said individual could choose outside(go narcissist , get accepted ,...) or inside ( developing the self which has a methodolgy, based on Heidegger i think) .what's the methodology ? Is there a way to develope the self but also take part outside without becoming a Narc? Thanks
I have a rental property, my tenant just moved leaving thousands of dollars of damage, I find it hillarious that I have manifested the opposite of what I intended to...😅😅ps. I rarely suffer from denial ..😉

the denial in israel is huge, we think our leaders are not psychos and we think our cousins like us.

Is there any medicine for fixing the really issues?
There are many drugs for mental illnesses.
No.
Not yet
Is there a way to stop/reduce fantasies?
Fantasies are healthy unless and until they take over and become indistinguishable from reality which is when a therapeutic intervention is required.
Dr. Vaknin, can certain mental illnesses cause a similar sensation of Denial though? I feel like that's the case with OCD it makes a lot of thoughts feel real, so you go about trying to deny these thoughts as a compulsion for pure o.
Denial and other defense mechanisms are clinical features of many mental illnesses and disorders.
@@samvaknin wondering, what are your thoughts on anosognosia?
Hi!! Do you have videos on Maladaptive Daydreaming?

A valuable lecture. Is propaganda a sub-"genre" of fantasy?
It is used in order to create a collective shared fantasy.

Professor, haw do you get this rational intelligence? I personally struggle to understand the human mind
If you have money problems buy a rental property
