What Drives Narcissistic Behaviors ? | Dr. David Hawkins

In this video, Dr. Hawkins talks about the key to understanding why narcissists to act the way they do. And that is…cognitive distortions, otherwise known as thinking errors. Thinking errors are a protective mechanism that everyone uses, not just narcissists, to avoid feeling healthy shame, the kind that allows us to admit when we’ve done something wrong or hurt another person. Thinking errors must be identified, confronted and corrected in order to open the path that allows individuals to build connection with others.

I have been stalked by several narcissists for decades even though I do not engage them and continue living my life. Their inability to let go when I realized who they were has resulted in my losing all empathy for them. These people are incredibly sick and desperately want to convince others it is you. I know how to identify these people and will never have anything to do with anyone like this again. We all experience pain, shame and abuse in life and do not end up spending our lives trying to control and destroy others. Looking back at my life, there was no human being, psychiatrist or psychologist who could have helped my biological father. There was no good in this evil being. It was not a person. When the areas of the brain that are responsible for compassion, empathy, love, the ability to feel remorse and look at ourselves do not develop, a person cannot grow. You can sit around and talk to these people until you are blue in the face and it will only waste your time. You cannot help anyone to grow a healthy brain.

Thank you

what if my narcissistic spouse says that she does not know the feelings of shame or culpability? who can heal her? In french? she does not even recognize she has a problem (she will admit that I have many).

[@katzygolf]

you are responsible to yourself, not her. she can't be helped outside of herself.
