#217: Why Is Narcissism Over-Diagnosed In Recovery?

The Brothers Discuss: an interesting question about narcissism and how ADHD or ADD is always diagnosed, especially in school. A common theme is a diagnosis, even from loved ones, that one with an addiction is narcissistic. Great clarity can come to someone who is hurting when you can get answers to why your loved one is acting in a certain way. There is a power that comes to us when we can name something. On the other hand, an addiction can look like narcissism and can make the person feel more hopeless if diagnosed with narcissism. The brothers discuss how addiction and narcissism may look alike, and how to tell the difference. // SUBMIT A QUESTION + CALL IN // We'd love to answer questions you have about addiction, trauma, recovery, relationships, and healing.
