In this episode of The Modality Podcast, presented by Pinnacle Peak Recovery, we sit down with Brenna Gonzales, LPC, to take a deeper look at Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and the challenges surrounding its treatment. Brenna discusses best practices for working with individuals diagnosed with NPD, the lack of research in this area, and why most discussions focus on narcissistic abuse rather than treatment and healing for those with NPD. She also explores the role of trauma in personality development and how therapy can be an essential tool in supporting individuals with narcissistic traits. If you're a therapist looking to better understand NPD—or simply curious about the complexities of this personality disorder—this episode offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective.
