Unmasking Depression: The Hidden Impact of Narcissistic Caregivers  -Therapeutic Interventions
In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella delves into the concept of white depression, which involves an unconscious identification with a narcissistically preoccupied caregiver. He explores the impact of emotional resonance and affective attunement on an individual's development, as well as the connection between this type of depression and narcissism. Dr. Mazzella also discusses the therapeutic approach to addressing the lack of emotional resonance and affective attunement, and the  role this plays on  freeing oneself of feeling stuck in life and lacking motivation.

For a deeper dive into narcissism, I now offer courses approved for continuing education credits, available [here]. As a NYS Education Department-approved provider (#SW-0211), licensed social workers in New York can earn credits through these programs. Also, these courses are a wonderful opportunity for those who may simply want to further educate themselves on all issues related to narcissistic and personality disorder dynamics.
