Where Do Narcissists Come From?
Spend any time on social media, you have likely heard people talk about narcissism or label someone a narcissist. Some of it is helpful content but like most things on social media it can become overused and misused. This series will help give you language to begin to understand what is narcissistic personality disorder, the impact on families and in relationship. But even more than that I want to invite you to begin asking what am I believing about myself.
Narcissistic Dynamics in Families
A family tends to develop patterns organized around protecting one person’s self-image, managing their emotional needs, avoiding conflict, or maintaining an appearance of being a “good” or “normal” family. Families can have some these dynamics even if no one individual would meet criteria for the DSM diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
