I have to say that this is one of the best interviews I’ve heard about narcissism. I’m on A quest to forgive my ex-wife for her narcissistic tendencies and this really helps. All the crap on social media demonizes them and this just makes it easier to forgive her. I still pray everyday for her and her kids for healing as well as for me because I had a part in break up as well. Thanks Chris for doing this.

I’m praying for your kids. Narcissistic parents can be really hurtful, especially to young children. As a child I was the temporary favorite of a toxic adult. It was confusing… they were destroying things I built with my friends wile being nice to only me. For all I know, if it had gone on, it might have eventually turned me into a narcissist. I wonder if I’d known how to recognize toxic grown-ups, if I would have been able to do something about it. If your wife is a narcissist, she probably will emotionally abuse your children. Unfortunately it’s hard to get legal protection because narcissists are pretty good at not doing questionable things where they can be seen (I know one narcissist who does all their yelling over the phone and not over text so that no evidence can be easily saved). I don’t know if giving your kids a buddy system or something would help them watch out for each other when they’re at their mom’s house; maybe if each one has a brother/sister who knows where they are, they can keep safe from some of the abuse by the threat of witness, or be witnesses for each other if she does something abusive or illegal. Maybe educating them about toxic patterns will help them avoid blaming themselves when their mom blames them for things that are not their fault. It’s really hard to protect your kids while also working, dealing with a narcissist, and healing from everything the narcissist did to hurt you. You can do this. I’ll be praying for you ❤

There is nothing like Narcissism! Everybody is Narcissist in other's eyes. Can these doctors solve the paradox and give a clear cut boundary between empathatic, normal and narcissist? Not possible because boundary is not static. Boundry depends not only on Narcissist but victim also or so called victims also. Greatest Paradox: Moment you will go to correct a Narcissist; you have to leave empathy and become a Narcissist. So till the time you are enjoying- enjoy them else take a break because most of empath are addicted to narcissist. If you will leave also it will relapse like drug abuser or you will go to other narcissist to leave present one.

weeell...sometimes they deserve that 'bad rap' they are getting! Their behavior can be destructive, soul killing. And behavior is a choice! They choose to inflict pain, hurt, shame, on others- often the most vulnerable- children. So, yeah, they have earned the bad rap. Maybe you are talking about people with narcissistic tendencies; not so far down on the spectrum. But when you are raised by an absolute malignant narc!...Yes, pray for them and understand their core, get healing for yourself, but always remember true narcs are 'people of the lie'. They CHOOSE this way of dealing with their inner shame and feelings of worthlessness. They are also very resistant to therapy and change. Let's not minimize this disorder and think there is a 'fix'.

@jeanb.5405 Жыл бұрын

I disagree - I have not known any of them to intentionally be harmful to people - careless yes - rude maybe at times, hurtful with their words and assumptions of what you meant by what you said or even didn't say, even extremely defensive as they eek out their teritory in a situation - but intentionally harmful? No. They have no idea why they are the way they are, so to say they chose it is to say it is not a disorder at all. I agree they can be soul killing by their ignorance of the feelings of others and their negativity but how we react to them is just as important to our health as how they act. When we can adjust our own behaviors we see more clearly the things that trigger them into these behaviors and if possible our changes within help them change - Maybe your Narc... had other mental issues in combination - sounds terrible for you and yours I am sorry you had to live through that.

@Marta-lh7is Жыл бұрын

Then you have never been raised/ lived with/ had a relationship with a malignant narc. On some level they have some awareness of what they are doing. It usually was done to them when they were young and this is their method of gaining control- to do it to others. But you are right in that they will not look deeply at themselves in an insightful way. They avoid this with all their defenses. You are lucky to have known only those with slight tendencies towards narcissism. We all have some narcissism. Those who are full blown do a great deal of damage.@@jeanb.5405

A word to the wise: if you were raised by a person with NPD, go gray rock, pray for them, forgive them, and ask God to bring someone into their life who will love them into a healthy way of being. It is not your job to return to abuse - and regardless of how well-grounded or healed you think you may be, you will most likely fall back into your old dysfunctional dynamic. (The reason for this is because your entire nervous system, from childhood to when you left them, was built while you were in contact with them. It takes a long time to rebuild a nervous system! God understands! Of this I am sure!) Unless you sense God telling you to return to those relationships - loving yourself *and* loving them will mean *not* giving them another opportunity to sin against you. God bless - its a tough road! Been there have the t shirt. God has brought other npders into my life who I am able to love (hopefully to health)....I'm just not the one called to do this for my own sick family.

I've taken this route he's saying as I have the "gift" of understanding and the more genuine and understanding I am, the worse and more manipulative and painful my sibling's behaviors are, and my parents protected her and not me. I'm glad you put this comment here because they didn't have remorse, nor humility. Meanwhile, the lonely, abused victims like us, we are in the therapy for repair. Prayers

@@RealLifeCatholicthank you so much. I did see that but it's the whole thing that is wrong. I wish I could see the studies from the doctor because Narcissist like the one I was married to are victim covert narcissist. It's demonic and they blame everyone else for their own behavior. Therapy won't help them because they refuse to go. It's the man at the well when Jesus ask him "do you want to be healed?" I received my Annulment because personality disorders are a reason for divorce. He's remarried and I've never even dated because of trust issues he caused. This is not a light subject. He destroyed my life and 8 kids I've done my best to get back in my feet but my trust is still not there. There is no cure for this but I'm safe and sane in my own home and I can pray for him and I do forgive him by the grace of God. I love your work Chris! Especially Father Ripperger interviews.

@@RealLifeCatholicChris I realize you're not trying to hurt anyone and this talk was helpful for a Narcissist in the workplace or a family member who we don't see much. This is good information but it's not the reality for victims of Narcissistic abuse. The problem lies in when I tried to save my marriage, I only had one priest encourage me to leave, the rest told me to suffer it and that's what I did for 23 years. You cannot worship another. Trying to please a Narcissist abuser as a former Co-Dependant is a form of idol worship. We are not called to live in a Spirit of fear nor are we to live in "a yoke of slavery." God told me this in Scripture through my healing in prayer after I left and divorced. He also gave me Matthew 18:15-17. (That's how tax-collectors were treated they would not have anymore to do with them). Thanks for listening. 😊 God has done great things in my life of healing and has shown great Mercy to me. I am free and I am healed. Peace and Joy to you Chris!

They do show to the people around them that they’re good people but its only for show. They can only be saved truly with God’s Mercy. For their victims, heal yourselves. If possible, heal yourselves away from the Narcs in your life. Im in no contact with my family for months now and it is one of the best time of my life. Im healing.

Narcissists are evil Abusers of the highest order. I'm the survivor of 6ft heavy male narcissist Partner. He tried to make amends with a view to more by saying '"I'm not the devil". I was speechless. Narcissists fail to realise that abused women & children can sense the narcissist' s mood from anywhere in the home. BEST THING IS PRAY FOR THEM, forgive and more importantly let go of the INJUSTICE of the abuse. Fr Ripperger has this one nailed in 9ne of his videos. God bless all the survivors as it's a really long road to recovery. Trust your intuition and the red flags I believe it is God trying to you safe. ⚓🙏⚓

As a daughter of a narcissistic mother, the idea that the narcissist has never been seen, known, or loved by anyone doesn’t sit well with me. A child does love their parent unconditionally. A child does not have boundaries, though, so I understand how that element is crucial as the relationship grows. I found this video difficult to watch. I left feeling overwhelmingly guilty that if I just loved my mother more, was more patient with her, if I didn’t react to her abuse, then she would be "cured". A professional psychologist, like Dr. Peter, should be the only type of person who attempts that. Praying for her is something I can definitely do more of.

@Marta-lh7is Жыл бұрын

it felt a little like 'blaming the victim' to me. Chris (and this Dr.) might not have any idea how malevolent a narc can be. Some (most?) strongly narcissistic persons are not that far from sociopathy- they have NO empathy and they can actually feel amusement at your pain.

@jeanb.5405 Жыл бұрын

Its the Narcissists perception not that they were not seen known or loved - but that they percieve it that way. That is how my Narc is exactly. But maybe it was nothing to do with you why your mom was a Narc... maybe it was her mom, or people in her life before yo were ever thought of.

As a daughter of a narcissistic mother I am with you and feel your pain. I’ve only realized for a few years (I’m in my 60s) that she is NPD. My mother is also approaching 90 so there are senior brain issues that add to the difficulties of interacting with her. A great book I read “The Narcissist in your Life” really helped me understand her. The author says that emotionally they are children with the cunning of an adult. I had thought for years that maybe my mother had never really grown up and the book confirmed that. From what my mother says I know she did not feel loved by her parents as a child. I did laugh (sadly) when I read “cunning of an adult” because that so describes my mother. I also believe there is probably nothing you can do to make someone with NPD happy as they will always, ALWAYS, find a way to interpret it negatively. I do pity her and have been praying for her for many years. I will be heading to Dr Malinoski’s podcast to listen to the ones on narcissim.

I am a devout Catholic and I love my faith more than anything but I have to strongly disagree with most everything said in this video. I have been married for 31 years and in all that time I have been emotionally, verbally and mentally abused by this man who doesn't care about anyone but himself. And while I agree it's because of his own self-loathing, I have also noticed he doesn't lose any sleep over any of it. He neglects me and our children. He rages at everyone all the time and he thinks we were all put on this earth to serve him. We aren't people in his eyes, we are appliances or slaves. It took me all these years to realize that it wasn't me as he had convinced me. He lacks empathy for me and my children, especially when we need him the most. I can write a 100 page comment on all the ways he has abused us but that won't do any good because if you have not lived it (as I'm assuming this doctor hasn't as he's chuckling his way thru this video while millions are suffering), then you won't understand it. I think it is very wrong to create a video saying you can treat people with NPD because you CAN'T! I've tried everything with this man...loving him, taking care of him, providing him security, etc...in the moment if he has had his supply and he's in a good mood it may seem like he's receptive to it and possibly changing but the minute something doesn't go his way or someone slights him, we all become horrible, evil people in his eyes and he starts to rage and verbally abuse. On our last anniversary, he lied to me throughout the day while I was trying to make plans and at the last minute he tells me he's going out with his friends. Does this sound like someone who can be helped or even wants to be? He treats me and our kids with utter contempt. I am so disappointed with this video because people like me who are victims of this type of abuse tend to blame ourselves for everything and because our whole reality is shattered by these abusers we are never on level footing. I am 50 years old and my health is failing, every day has become a struggle and I mourn the life I thought I had and I mourn for my kids that they will never have the father they deserve. Instead their father is a man who only wants to take from them. I'm sorry, this video is completely wrong and so unempathetic to the plight of people going through this very debilitating form of abuse. Instead of calling these evil abusers out for what they are, it's asking people to treat the abuser as the victim. WHAT?? That will have devastating consequences for all the victims out there. And the advice he gives about not being unstabilized by their actions just means you have to live your life like a robot without love or empathy from your spouse or whoever the NPD person is in your life and who can live that way? I've been living like this for 31 years and me being unaffected by his treatment has not made him a better person or caused him to turn his life around. Instead, he turns around and starts abusing our kids when he can't get to me. This video is so irresponsible. I will pray for both of you.

Conflict, anorexia, bulimia bad boyfriends, bad choices. I could go on and on. Please get someone to talk to that you trust on every level. You need help. I was an anxious mess and always angry with her. It didn’t work. ❤She ran away and married a seemingly nice person that 5 years later divorced. They never should have married. She went to nursing school and now is successful and also remarried to someone who loves her in spite of herself. She does love him. Still, we can’t be together without her stirring some pot. It’s a real pain. At 75, she still can’t intimidate us. God has helped us survive, and she lives 8 hrs away. This man - psychologist is over the top Catholic and a wonderful person to give advice. Search out an expert. Don’t give up. Don’t take the bait. If he starts to confront you, kindly excuse yourself until he can be calm. They will attack if allowed. Realizing how empty and hurt they are inside would have been good to know But it’s very clear to me now. God bless you. Pray to St Dymphna, stay close to Mother Mary. Go to Mass frequently.

Its easy to blame the narcissit for you losing your temper but it is not their fault its your own. Pray for Temperance. I have always looked to myself to see what am I doing what could I do differently within myself before trying to see how they need to change but when it comes to a narcissist you can get lost and so overwhelmed in the gas lit moments you forget to do that. One thing I have learned to do over the years (been blessed to do) is to dissacociate from the outrageous gas lighting in regards to the outbursts of negative comments and tellilng me what I really said when I never used any words to remotely indicate the outcome they concluded... and then pray.

You can't set limits and boundaries because they violate them against your will. It's like rape. I tried all the "Lord, what should I learn from this, and help me love them, etc." I'm disappointed that this interview didn't include or even really acknowledge the demonic, narcississtic abuse that the victims of narcissists suffer. It the worst experience I've ever encountered in my 54 years and it was by an employer and using coworkers as flying monkeys. It was extremely destructive and could have destroyed my career if not for the fact that the employer actually ended up commiting a crime against me (and so did one of the coworkers) and I held the evidence, so it was difficult f I this employer to destroy my reputation for leaving. I'm not a psychologist, but a victim of narcissistic abuse and my suggestion is try to keep grounded until they hang themselves and then make your exit quickly with evidence in hand. Too much sympathy for evil in this interview and nothing for the actual victims. I had a rough childhood too, so that's no excuse. Love them from a distance simply by not retaliating.

Thank you, I'm so glad you made that point. This interview is actually potentially dangerous by essentially stating that the 'right' person, the ' Christian morally decent person' would simply 'love' the narcissist back to being a decent human being. Whilst I agree that childhood trauma can be overcome with love, in those individuals who have narcisstic tendencies whereby they may momentarily act childishly or behave like a bully, and can carefully be brought to understand the impact of their actions on those around them and be shown how to get their needs addressed in healthy ways. However, this is NOT what a person with the actual disorder of NPD. Such individuals that will plot, plan, scheme the downfall of the very people they claim to love. They are committed to stealing lying and cheating and are not even capable of showing care for their own young. (Which let's face it, even crocs are great mothers). You can love such an individual to death, your death, there is nothing in there to reflect that love back. No spark to ignite. They are dead inside and the emptiness can not be filled. I pity them. Their existence must be unimaginably lonely and painful. I release them to God and pray he show them mercy.

It is a struggle in itself to be able to find a name for psychology behaviour such a person displays. As a child of a parent like this, through childhood you think it’s normal. But as an adult the behaviour intensifies. As a child we are not given a manual to know how to respond to a parent who is so emotionally abusive. Being kind to them just makes it even worse. The weight of guilt is very heavy. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. This has been helpful for me and I appreciate the Catholic references.

A therapeutic approach may well be fruitful in a therapeutic setting with a trained therapist but I wonder if "Christian Love" really demands that we all adopt that role with the narcissists in our lives. Yes, we want to be compassionate and keep in mind that narcissists, along with everyone else, come from a place of pain but, at the same time, humility would seem to require also acknowledging that it's not our job to fix people and we probably couldn't if we were so inclined. Unless we're therapists. In which case, it is our job and should go for it, using all the tools at our disposal. 😀

A word to the wise: if you were raised by a person with NPD, go gray rock, pray for them, forgive them, and ask God to bring someone into their life who will love them into a healthy way of being. It is not your job to return to abuse - and regardless of how well-grounded or healed you think you may be, you will most likely fall back into your old dysfunctional dynamic. Unless you sense God telling you to return to those relationships - loving yourself *and* loving them will mean *not* giving them another opportunity to sin against you. God bless - its a tough road! Been there have the t shirt. God has brought other npders into my life who I am able to love (hopefully to health)....I'm just not the one called to do this for my own sick family.

No therapist would claim they have a cure for narcissistic people. This is most definitely near impossible task even for them. All the best ones in this area can only give advice how to cope with them, and survive their rage and, how to rebuild yourself after you inevitably leaving them. Do not have hope. I repeat, do not have hope. The hope they will get better is the real hindrance of you to find peace.

Narcissism is a biologically-based illness, as are all personality disorders. The literature is exact on this fact. Narcisstic Personality Disorder, among others, are notoriously difficult to treat and overwhelmingly end in failure. Personality disorders are not simply cognitive or learned mechanisms, they are the the absence or defect of crucial modules of thinking, feeling and perceiving... they are as malleable as autism or any other inherited personality/developmental deficit -- which is near 0 (outside of rudimentary masking or other techniques for day-to-day coping).

God is not "someone", is what he is fatally failing to understand. He could never crack that private inner relationship or even fathom it. The worst thing about narcissists is this weird need to strip you of every social financial and spiritual support, and all privacy. They are "asset strippers" and we are "a stash." I go for instance go for a "daily walk" that just happens to include church etc. l see all my friends outside. I gave all my savings away to this family member l currently live with and was caretaking their/our house, whilst they worked away, and l gave my own house to another family member. I now have to move out because of my "lack of "extreme left wing politics" - abut also my deep and nuanced understanding of them is "inconvenient" tho l strove to avoid the topic. (my understanding was ironically deeper than the person holding these new to them and simplistic views) (I was unconsciously trying to financially compensate my children for their terrifying malignant narc father's impact, l realise now) I would not have survived all this without my faith, but my motto now is "compassion - from behind a barrier" No one who hasn't faced the implacable narc. no matter how qualified or experienced they are, no one can understand the narcs primitive rage, and then their emptiness and absence post rage, and how both are equally terrifying to be a captive of. A psychologist or any helpful bystander do not understand the captive/tyrant dynamic, with all due respect to this channel. They have never been captive. However l shall now watch this simply because l have learnt to glean strategies from anywhere and everywhere. But God is everything to me now. Narcs may never "age out" and the vulnerable will be "punished" by other victims, not the unassailable and insane narc. they are still feared. However, God may change their hearts and l must learn to protect myself 1st. I just prayed for you.

Years later I’m still trying to come to terms with what happened. Still, I can’t bring myself to hate him because ultimately he is the one with the horrible life, not me. I dislike all the videos on KZbin demonizing these people, because as the doctor says, they didn’t ask for this condition and they pay a huge price for this. That said, I would never get involved with another narcissist, the price is just too great and it’s certainly not worth it.

Narcissistic people are only in marriages/relationships with empathetic, codependent people. In my opinion, you didn't address the crippling codependency that "keeps" the relationship going. The empathetic person will listen to this interview, not understand being grounded, self protection, boundaries, and out of Desperation (bc the narcissist is so, so harmful and destructive) have hope that if they only understand their family member and treat them perfectly enough the other person will heal and Stop. I hope the next segments spend more time protecting the people narcissists traumatize and abuse and sitting with an recognizing what they've been through. They are just as unaware as the narcissist. If you're going to spend time explaining how to love the narcissist in my opinion you need to spend more ample time explaining how to love yourself. This is all very difficult and alienating and my opinion is you need to give the victims more air time.

Yes thru try to buy love. This is called "Love Bombing". "Hoovering" can be similar, but hoovering is used to bring you back in where love bombing is used to initially hook you. The hoarding may come from their own childhood trauma. Narcissists are made, not born, and it's usually from repeated trauma as a child. You need to go to therapy for Narcissistic Abuse. Read books. Watch videos. Learn as much as you can about the subject, so you can develop boundaries, begin healing, and recognize the bad behavioral patterns in the future that a Narc will display, so you can navigate them without loosing your mind. Good luck, you've got this.
