What Really Triggers Narcissistic Rage?
Description
In this episode, we explore the connection between shame and narcissism. We look at how shame is a powerful and often misunderstood emotion that is central to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Shame can drive individuals with NPD to either retreat into themselves or lash out to protect their fragile self-esteem. I discuss how shame impacts behavior and how it can be linked to early childhood experiences. We also explore how shame manifests in adult relationships. Overall, this episode delves into the complex and crippling emotional state of shame.
