How Two Experts Navigate Narcissistic Dynamics

In this episode, I present Part 2 of a live interview with Lisa Taylor-Austin, where we discuss the intricacies of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Lisa and I continue our discussion on psychological mechanisms like projection, introjection, and splitting, which shape the disorder and impact relationships. I emphasize the need to understand the internal dynamics of NPD, particularly how narcissistic individuals project their negative self-image onto others, leading to distorted perceptions of relationships. The conversation explores therapeutic techniques that are used to to break the projective-introjective cycle.
