Absolutely great video for me. Helps me understand myself a little better and the work I’ve been doing on controlling thinking errors and the emotions that come with this up hill process. This short video explains a lot of what I’ve been going through for many months as the “undiagnosed narcissist”. Such a confusing journey with very little counseling. This video gives me hope and more will to keep going. Many times wanting to give up, calling myself a lost cause. The journey is a very long one like you say. Thank you for your videos.
Just watched the end. Late diagnosed ADHD/RSD woman suffering at the hands of an ex passive aggressive and a step-dad narcissist/OCPD. No family member understands, most not witnessing the verbal abuse and financial upsets. Need a narcissistic abuse attorney in So Cal. Not doing well since my mom passed 😢. Need to connect and get counseling. Even my doctors are negating my diagnosis.
No. He is an impenetrable wall…not willing to get help. BUT…if you can hold boundaries I know it’s possible, especially if he’s wanting to/and acknowledges help. I think the spouse also needs therapy and help.
No and you need to be aware by learning how to identify the fakers in shadowing normalcy. It's heart and gut wrenching being involved with someone who is a narcissist when you're ignorant to the psychological flawed personality! I'm an empath and sensitive never understood and learn I am recently. There's a lot to learn to have a happier life! ❤
I didnt choose to, but I met him after I'd been dumped by a man I did have a real emotional connection with. I was devastated to lose that. When I met my narc x *initially* I think I subconsciously felt protected knowing I wasn't that into him. It didn't go deep and I knew that. But a few dates in, he pulled manipulative stunts I wasn't equipped to resist, and he just pulled me further in and the dynamic became all about me not disappointing him. Eventually, 7 years later, I escaped. I didn't leave. I escaped. I underestimated how much control somebody could have over me utilising the power of being the victim. If I ever asserted for myself, that hurt him. My mother is the same so I was vulnerable to it. I never chose it. He met me when I was very upset, an emotionally healthy man would have run a mile. So that is how I ended up in that situation.
Jonathan, you helped my husband learn to recognize his untrue thoughts about me!! And he is finally owning his crazy thoughts about me!

I agree with Jonathan...

How I, psychotherapist from Ukraine, can learn your approach?
I suggest calling the phone number on the website.
Would any of you choose to marry a narcissist? Why or why not?
No. He is an impenetrable wall…not willing to get help. BUT…if you can hold boundaries I know it’s possible, especially if he’s wanting to/and acknowledges help. I think the spouse also needs therapy and help.
no, you are asking for insanity
I was a stupid 19 year old!
