Narcissism
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Narcissism is a necessary component of a healthy ego. Everyone needs self-esteem in order to function successfully in society. On the other hand, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a legitimate disorder that is not only an outcome of the selfishness encouraged by modern culture but a legitimate condition with unconscious roots in early experiences of basic needs being unmet. Narcissism manifests as problems with regulating self-esteem, grasping one’s relative place in a world of others, and participating in relationships in which one demonstrates regard to others as independent objects with minds and feelings of their own. People with unhealthy degrees of narcissism have difficulty in understanding others’ perspectives, in letting themselves be vulnerable without feeling threatened, and in respecting or having awareness of boundaries. To get at the core of the defensive symptoms of grandiosity, entitlement, vulnerability, erraticism, and emotional explosiveness that attend NPD, and to begin to engage in considerate and empathic relationships, learning to be curious about and to imagine what things are like for others is key. By exploring the motivations underlying narcissistic behavioral traits, psychodynamic psychotherapy leads to greater self-awareness; authentic, fulfilling interpersonal interactions; and genuine confidence in oneself.

Living with or loving someone with narcissistic traits can be confusing and painful. In therapy, I help clients make sense of these patterns, set boundaries, and protect their own sense of self.

Narcissism
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I often support Highly Sensitive People/Empaths who are Adult Children of Narcissists (ACONs), people who have/had emotionally immature selfish parents or parents-in-law, are involved in Narcissistic family systems, or are navigating a narcissistic personality at work or somewhere else in their community. The experience of dealing with the gaslighting, raging, antagonism, selfishness, putdowns, control, volatility, loneliness, walking on eggshells and emotional pain is a lot to navigate alone. Getting support from someone experienced with narcissistic personalities can help you feel more empowered and less alone while you move through the fog of being close to someone who is narcissistic.

Narcissism
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The reality is everyone has a bit of Narcissism because we are all selfish in the way we look at and see the world as individuals. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is frequently thrown around these days, often by partners in relationships to describe their experiences of the other person. Its frequently overused because in the pain of our broken communication, destructive conflicts, and relational isolation, its hard to see the spouse or partner any other way than the box I've put them in. And yet, given relationally intelligent tools many of these couples are then able to experience a radical transformation in their relationship and build true lasting intimacy with one another. That said, there is a true Narcissistic Personality Disorder, less frequent than commonly popularized, but real none the less. I've worked with these cases and its very difficult if not impossible for this type of person to take responsibility for anything they did. If you think you are dealing with someone with this disorder, don't hestitate. Call Growth and Change Counseling today at 408-461-9658.
