Can Narcissists Change? Insights from Caroline Strawson

Sadly, you can't help someone that doesn't think that they have an issue in the first place.
Ever wondered if a narcissist can truly change? Caroline Strawson tackles this tough question in her latest episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast'. Drawing from her extensive experience as a trauma therapist, Caroline explores the deep-seated roots of narcissistic behavior and the challenges in addressing it. She dives into the idea that narcissism often stems from childhood trauma, creating a complex web of behaviors that are hard to untangle.
Caroline doesn't sugarcoat the reality: helping someone who doesn't see their own issues is next to impossible. However, she provides practical advice on how to improve your own situation when dealing with a narcissist. Learn about covert narcissism and gaslighting, and how these tactics can leave you questioning your own reality. Caroline emphasizes the importance of self-care and taking responsibility for your own healing, rather than waiting for the narcissist to change.
She also discusses the balance between compassion for the narcissist's wounded inner child and holding them accountable for their actions. It's a delicate dance, but understanding this balance can help you navigate these tricky relationships more effectively. If you're grappling with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to take control of your own recovery journey.
