0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. The other day I put out a call on the Facebook fan page and on the discord channel |
0:06.8 | asking people to submit their questions about narcissism. And I thought I would |
0:10.8 | answer those questions here. First person wrote in saying, |
0:14.9 | what are things we should avoid doing when dealing with narcissists? What are things we should |
0:20.8 | avoid doing when dealing with narcissists? End of question. Well, the first thing I'll say is |
0:26.3 | what do you mean by narcissists? Because the internet means a lot of different things by that. |
0:31.6 | Sometimes they're referring to narcissistic personized shorter, which I will tell you that the vast |
0:36.8 | majority of lay people do not understand what that means. And most many clinicians in my anecdotal |

1:29.6 | narcissist? Well, the first thing I would say is try to understand their trauma. This is what I do |
1:35.6 | because it one helps me to have compassion for them, which I consider to be a central virtue. |

1:49.2 | feeling discounted, if I'm feeling devalued, and I have a satisfactory conceptualization of their |
1:57.6 | narcissistic injury as a child and their compensation for it as an adult, then I can interpret what's |
2:04.8 | happening with much less stress. I can say, well, I feel devalued by this person not because I |
