Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The impacts of narcissism in relationships can be profound and often detrimental. Narcissistic individuals typically exhibit a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration. In relationships, this can lead to a one-sided dynamic where the narcissist dominates conversations, seeks constant validation, and undermines the well-being of their partner. Communication breakdowns, emotional manipulation, and a sense of being devalued are common consequences. The partner of a narcissist may experience a range of negative emotions, including frustration, loneliness, and diminished self-esteem. The relationship often becomes imbalanced, with the narcissist prioritizing their own needs and desires at the expense of the other person. Addressing and navigating the challenges posed by narcissism in relationships may require professional intervention, as therapy can provide support for both individuals involved, fostering healthier communication patterns and promoting a more equitable and fulfilling connection.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Narcissism, to a certain extent, permeates our outer world and even our inner selves. This self-centeredness often stems from deep soul wounds and a desire to fill inner emptiness by dominating and diminishing others. Addressing the root causes of this hurt can potentially eliminate these tendencies at their source, freeing narcissistic individuals from prolonged suffering. Narcissistic behavior is a defense mechanism, shielding individuals from facing the insecurities and vulnerabilities caused by their deep wounding. By exploring these underlying insecurities and vulnerabilities in therapy, individuals can come to understand themselves and the offenses against them better, develop healthier coping mechanisms and hold a more balanced sense of self. This process can also lead to greater empathy, understanding, and healthier relationships with others. Being released from the hold of the anger that caused the emptiness in the first place, is Daniel’s central intent when working with those who have narcissistic attributes.
