Ever wondered why couples therapy often fails when one partner is a narcissist? In this eye-opening episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg dives into the complexities of dealing with narcissistic personality disorders in a therapeutic setting. With his extensive background as a psychotherapist and best-selling author, Ross sheds light on why traditional therapy approaches just don't cut it for narcissists.
Narcissists, by nature, refuse to acknowledge any fault, making it impossible for them to engage in the mutual accountability that couples therapy demands. This episode is a must-listen for anyone caught in the web of narcissistic abuse or for therapists seeking to understand the unique challenges posed by these relationships. Ross also delves into the damaging effects of gaslighting and the emotional toll it takes on the self-love deficit (SLD) or codependent partner.
He emphasizes the importance of a robust theoretical framework for therapists treating narcissistic abuse and highlights alternative approaches that can offer real help. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on navigating relationships tainted by narcissistic behavior.
