Do you think of yourself more highly than you ought? Do you tell people about your accomplishments...which never happened? Do you consistently criticize others to make yourself feel better? If you said, 'Yes, that's me!' to any any of those questions, you may have grandiose delusions.
Imagine believing you're destined for royal treatment or convinced you've achieved things that never happened. That's the world of grandiose delusions. In this episode of 'Urban Tools for Change', Dr. Lisa LaCon takes us on a journey through the minds of those experiencing these intense, often misunderstood delusions. Ever wondered why some people constantly boast about non-existent achievements or put others down to feel superior? Dr.
LaCon sheds light on these behaviors, exploring how factors like drug use or as a way to escape reality can lead to grandiose delusions. She also touches on the impact these delusions have on relationships and self-worth. With relatable examples, such as social media influencers who create false personas, Dr. LaCon makes the topic accessible and engaging.
One key takeaway is her advice on how to support someone with grandiose delusions: listen without judgment, avoid confronting their beliefs directly, and gently redirect conversations when necessary. This episode isn't just informative; it's a compassionate guide for anyone looking to understand and help those dealing with this challenging mental health issue.
