What really makes someone a narcissist? In this episode of 'The Real Common Treatable Podcast', Clint Mally sits down with Darren Elliott, a seasoned coach, educator, speaker, and psychotherapist, to unpack the complexities of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Darren sheds light on how early childhood traumas and emotional disconnections can lead to the development of narcissism, which often manifests as a lack of empathy and poor emotional regulation.
He also distinguishes between healthy narcissism and the more harmful forms that can disrupt relationships and personal well-being. Darren dives into the root causes of narcissism, explaining how unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation can cause individuals to have intense emotional reactions that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. He emphasises that understanding these underlying issues is crucial for effective treatment and healing.
The conversation also touches on the role of co-regulation in early childhood and how a lack of it can contribute to narcissistic behaviours later in life. One of the most striking points Darren makes is about the cycle of emotional pain and how it gets passed down through generations. He draws parallels between narcissism and other coping mechanisms like substance abuse, highlighting that both are ways people try to manage unprocessed emotions.
The episode is filled with real-life anecdotes and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by narcissism, either personally or through a loved one. So, if you've ever wondered what makes a person a narcissist or how to heal from the emotional disconnection it causes, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps. Don't miss out on this eye-opening discussion that could help you or someone you know break free from the chains of narcissism.
