All the research is there that reinforces theories about narcissistic personality disorders and makes the connection between that and our little furry rodent friends who have been instrumental in helping us understand the development of these pathologies, this altered brain science, this impaired development and maturation.
What can rats teach us about narcissists? In this intriguing episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, host Prajinta Pesqueda draws fascinating parallels between the behavior of our furry rodent friends and individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). With a mix of research and personal stories, she uncovers how rats' responses to pleasure and pain can shed light on the complex world of NPD.
Pesqueda dives into the different types of empathy, explaining why those with NPD might show cognitive empathy but lack emotional empathy. She also emphasizes the critical role of community in the healing journey, highlighting how NPD individuals often isolate their victims. The episode further explores the biological and behavioral impacts of complex trauma and how these relate to NPD. Pesqueda touches on the distinctions between neurodivergence and NPD, and even considers the potential for technological interventions in managing NPD traits.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on narcissistic behavior and recovery, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.
