Narcissistic Personality Disorder therapists in Stratford, Ontario ON, Canada CA
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.
