Narcissists Are Defined By Psychological Laziness

A hallmark of the mature personality is the willingness to take responsibility for who you are.  Mature people understand that every stage of life presents challenges, and they welcome the process of introspection as they determine how to wisely respond.  Narcissists, however, refuse to do the hard work of finding insight and making adjustments.  Instead, their psychological laziness prompts them to look outwardly toward you, requiring you to adjust so they can feel satisfied.  Dr. Les Carter contrasts healthy introspection to a narcissist's shallowness, and encourages you to take the more fulfilling path.

Why Are Narcissists So Combative?

The longer you engage with narcissists, the more they illustrate how internally conflicted they are.  But instead of using healthy introspection, they turn outward as they try to make you responsible for their personal turmoil.  Dr. C discusses this phenomenon by emphasizing that you are not required to enter into their combative games.  Instead, you can resolve to be a person who lives with well conceived initiatives despite their inability to reciprocate.

Why Do Narcissists Need You As A Foil?

In the best case scenario, as you build relationships, you will be honest about your strengths and your weaknesses.  Narcissists, however, are schemers attempting to establish superiority, and are not interested in honest relationships.  In fact, their posturing is done for the purpose of setting themselves up as the gold standard, with you being the less-than-adequate one.  That way, when the relationship eventually crumbles, you become the foil.

Should You Fear The Narcissist?

Inevitably, when you have ongoing interactions with a narcissist, you learn that these individuals do not operate with positive intentions toward you.  So should you fear the narcissist?  Dr. Les Carter answers, yes and no.  You should have a healthy fear that prompts you to use realistic care and caution.  But, then he explains that they too harbor much fear, and it comes from an underdeveloped sense of Self.  That being the case, you need not fear their attitudes and pronouncements about your character.  Balance is key.

Why Narcissists Cannot Pull Out Of Their Narcissism

When you have an ongoing relationship with a person who is persistently narcissistic, it is only natural that you'd want to confront that individual with the hope that healthy adjustments can be made.  But instead of engaging in a constructive conversation, narcissists will predictably double down on their dysfunction and will refuse to receive input.  In this episode, Dr. Les Carter identifies the lead ingredient that inhibits narcissists from growing, and describes all sorts of other patterns associated with that one ingredient.  Your task is to be aware of what you are up against so you can remain steady in the midst of their unsteadiness.

How to Detect Covert Narcissism

Narcissists do not always show the full extent of their pathology in the early stages of a relationship.  They can seem pleasant, easy-going, supportive, and receptive...at least for a while.  But as you remain with that person, certain trends begin to emerge, leaving you to wonder about the viability of the relationship.  Narcissists are known for not having good self-awareness or for not taking responsibility for their flaws, so they will deny their problems.  Knowing this, Dr. Les Carter explains 4 categories of behavior that reveal the breadth of the covert narcissist's dysfunction.  They will gaslight you when you call them out, but as you learn to trust your interpretations, you will be less inclined to be pulled in by their manipulations.

Adam, Eve, The Serpent, And Narcissism

For millennia people have been trying to make sense of humanity's plight, often distilling their thoughts into stories. Virtually every major religion has a story about the origins of human struggle, whether it be the Jewish, Islamic, or Christian traditions. Likewise Hinduism, Buddhism, and many indigenous peoples have their stories. Since the characters, Adam and Eve, are so well known in Western culture, Dr. C has chosen to give an overview of 5 aspects of the Eden story that address the topic of the human condition and, especially, narcissism. Then he cites teachings from social psychologist Erich Fromm, who likewise had much to say about this seminal piece of literature. As you ponder such a story, it can prompt you to examine your own narrative, especially as it relates to narcissism...or its opposite. Thank you to Aura for sponsoring this episode.

Why You Need To Understand Narcissistic Injury

How often has a seemingly simple disagreement with a narcissist turned into a big production?  Narcissists are known for out-of-proportion anger in response to circumstances that could otherwise be managed cleanly.  Dr. Les Carter describes the phenomenon called "narcissistic injury."  Narcissists carry a great deal of emotional pain inside, but because they are committed to maintaining a False Self, they are unable to discuss problems logically.  When they are triggered by you, that pain rises to the surface, prompting the narcissist to attack in the same way a wounded animal does.  Your task is to understand what is in play so you don't become engaged in their unresolved inner tensions.

How Narcissists Toy with Truth

For any relationship to thrive, trust has to be paramount. And for trust to be established, honesty is essential. Narcissists, however, live behind the wall of the False Self. They have an exploitative agenda as they make connections, which means honesty is little more than a commodity that can be twisted to suit their immediate desires. A narcissist's "truth" is not truth at all, but an attempt to advance their ever-shifting agenda. Dr. Les Carter describes what to watch for when engaging with a narcissist, and he discusses the necessity of you being the person of integrity that the narcissist cannot and will not become.

Why Are Narcissists So Resistant To Change?

In this episode, Dr. Carter takes you inside the mind of a therapist, discussing the patterns he would identify in his patients.  He focuses on 4 universal truths (and more) that we each need to come to terms with, then highlights the healthy alternatives.  Then he focuses on the mind of a narcissist, describing how they tend to respond when confronted with the need for growth and change.  Narcissists have multiple barriers to overcome if they are going to mature, and most are so entrenched in their dysfunctions that they sabotage the process altogether.  It's important for you to understand how this works so you will not be thrown off course in your own maturation goals.

Once You Realize You Can’t Get Through to a Narcissist

One of the finest qualities you can have is the desire to grow and learn. You know yourself well enough to understand that you can always improve, so that is part of the mindset you bring to your relationships.  But when you are engaging with narcissists, it eventually becomes apparent that they don't share the same eagerness to grow and learn. Instead, they think competitively, meaning they are constantly vying for the upper hand. And what is worse, when you eventually pull away, your adjustments will come with a high price. Dr. Les Carter addresses this matter with compassion, as he reminds you of what you can and cannot change. Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.

Narcissists Can't Grasp That Control Is An Illusion

It should come as a shock to no one that narcissists have a pervasive need to control people and circumstances, and in this episode Dr. Les Carter describes how it plays out.  But as you pull back and reflect upon the effectiveness of a controlling approach to relationships, you can quickly conclude...it doesn't work.  Control is an illusion.  Even as narcissists seem to score "victories" in their efforts to control, over time, their influence wanes greatly.  Simply put, most people who are on the receiving end of a narcissist's controlling agenda eventually seek the exit.  So what if you decided not to participate in the narcissist's control illusion?  What would that look like?  Join us as we zero in on practical ways to unhook from a narcissist's ill-advised strategy of control.  There is a much better path that you can take.

Here's How Covert Narcissism Works

Narcissism is defined by the need for control, a lack of empathy, an attitude of entitlement, self-absorption, and more.  Overt narcissists leave little to the imagination, and you can spot them rather quickly.  Covert narcissists have the same defining features, but they are much more deliberate in hiding their inclinations.  Over time, however, their real colors will eventually surface, and it can be a great disappointment to you.  Yet, as you learn to spot the indicators, you can become positioned to protect yourself with necessary boundaries.
