The Drug of Choice: A Message to the Partner of a Narcissist

The provided text, written by Shaman Jon Rasmussen with over two decades of experience working with partners of narcissists, draws a parallel between narcissism and drug addiction. The author asserts that narcissism, much like a drug, provides a sense of fulfillment and success that can be highly addictive, making it difficult for narcissists to change, even for the sake of a loving partner. The article highlights the dangers of attempting to "heal" a narcissist and advises partners to be realistic about the situation, understanding that narcissism is not simply a personality disorder but a deeply ingrained addiction. The author recommends seeking professional guidance if a partner is struggling with a narcissistic relationship.Support the showMore information and videos about Jon's work can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@JonRasmussen and https://thesoulalgorithm.com/sessions .
