Episode Overview
- Collective trauma can lead to disordered group responses.

- Recognising red flags of communal narcissism is crucial.
- Fostering healthier communities requires a focus on compassion and moral grounding.
The world has experienced one trauma after another for many years now as violence increases and craziness ensues.
In this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, host Prajinta Pesqueda dives into the intriguing topic of collective trauma and its potential to create collective narcissism. The world has faced numerous traumas over the years, and these shared experiences can lead to disordered group responses. Pesqueda draws parallels between individual narcissistic development and societal reactions to ongoing stress and abuse.
By examining how early abuse shapes narcissists, she explains how similar dynamics can unfold within entire communities or nations when they face continuous exploitation and neglect. Pesqueda doesn't shy away from discussing how governments and societal leaders can contribute to this collective dysfunction by failing to meet people's needs and encouraging unethical behaviours. She highlights the red flags of communal narcissism, such as demonising those with different beliefs, promoting blind loyalty, and playing the victim.
The episode is a call to recognise these patterns and strive for a more compassionate, morally grounded society. If you're curious about how collective experiences shape our behaviours and what we can do to foster healthier communities, this episode is a must-listen.
