Ever wondered what it's like inside the head of a narcissist? Prajinta Pesqueda takes you on a fascinating journey in this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, titled 'Where is My Mind? A Look Inside the Mind of a Narcissist.' Prajinta breaks down the complexities of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), offering listeners a unique glimpse into the minds of those who live with it.
From their altered brain chemistry to their unique sleep patterns and even their seemingly superhuman abilities, you'll get an all-encompassing view of what sets narcissists apart from neurotypicals. But don't worry, it's not all science and gloom. Prajinta also touches on the surprising creative talents that can arise from disordered thinking, showing that it's not all bad news.
She discusses avoidant attachment styles and how narcissists often see others as mere objects for their own gain, rather than as real people. MRI studies reveal that narcissists have less brain matter in areas associated with empathy, which explains their often cold and calculating nature. This episode isn't just about understanding narcissists, though. It's also about healing. Prajinta offers practical advice on recovering from narcissistic abuse and warns against the dangers of numbing your emotions.
