So criticism is immensely painful because it kind of brings up those feelings of shame. I think I think you're right that what the pain of narcissists might feel in love relationships or in love and intimacy in general is this, maybe this underlying sense from their previous experiences that they're not lovable or have not been loved for the person, the whole person they are.
Ever found yourself drawn to someone who seems larger than life but crumbles at the slightest criticism? You might be dealing with pathological narcissism. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon tackle the tricky terrain of narcissism in romantic relationships. They break down what narcissism really means, distinguishing between healthy self-esteem and the more harmful Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
With a mix of scientific insights and personal anecdotes, Jacqueline and Kibby make this complex topic accessible and relatable. Jacqueline shares snippets from her own dating history, giving listeners a peek into the real-world impact of loving a narcissist. The episode also features Dr. Diana Diamond, an expert on pathological narcissism and Kibby's clinical supervisor at Weill Cornell/NY Presbyterian hospital. Dr. Diamond sheds light on the emotional vulnerabilities of narcissists, explaining why criticism can trigger deep feelings of shame.
The trio doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; they also discuss treatment options for those grappling with NPD. Whether you're in a relationship with a narcissist or just curious about the topic, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to navigate these challenging dynamics and foster healthier relationships.
