Redefining Narcissism

How To Heal After Narcissistic Abuse FREE Masterclass: Sunday 1st October 8pm UK time/3pm EDT/12pm PDT: https://carolinestrawson.com/healing-masterclass

My approach to defining what a narcissist is differs from the mainstream healthcare definition, I’m going to explain why. When I had a narcissist in my life, they behaved very differently in the public eye compared to how they behaved behind closed doors. They could easily fool anyone into thinking that they weren’t a narcissist, which is why the clinical diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder is problematic.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • Why the clinical diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder is wrong

  • What a healthcare professional looks for when diagnosing a narcissist

  • Who you can go to for validation that a person in your life is a narcissist 

In this episode, I'll discuss my current perspective on narcissism, shedding light on the factors that have shaped my approach and I'll explore how my experiences have led me to adopt this particular viewpoint. Additionally, I'll offer my thoughts on ways in which the clinical diagnosis of narcissism could undergo enhancements for a more accurate and nuanced understanding.
