How to Cope with 3 Types of Narcissism (with Dr. Ahmed Fouad, Starts  

I completely agree with the opening comments, Professor Sam Vaknin is the absolute oracle of NPD and other cluster B personality disorders. I’ve learnt so much about NPD and this has gone a long way to helping my recovery from the abuse I received from being married to someone who presents many of the traits associated with NPD. I’ve found his material to be unmatched by any other online so called experts. I also appreciate the fact that he often quotes the work/material from the founding minds of psychology.

So basically narcism is created by an unsecure Environment and not to get crazy - the narc is stabilaze him | herself with the imaged (introjects) he should have received in his childhood (security, bonding, safty) but he | she never received it and the nervesystem is still hanging in there hoping to get what h/s should had to get (Fantasy, Snapshot). Somehow I feel sad, knowing the narc never was able to arrive here on earth…

I'm Moroccan and always watch Sam's videos everyday! Tahiyati o dima Maghreb😂😂

I got emotional touched by the words of Sam : "we in the Middle East should stand together as one family! " 🙏 Thank you for this video

Rich interview between the international icon and the Egyptian icon in narcissism . Thank you for your time Dr Sam . Your fan from Egypt

Believe me . I know BPD and NPD like the back of my hand. I lived with my brother who is BPD and witnessed it from birth to 30. He was also diagnosed when he was involuntary committed to the mental hospital years ago. For 20 years. Never would have thought. Im not a doctor but from dealing with it for 35 years . I literally can see inner hollow empty shell they have. They even mimic you.

Great interview!!!

....as a (healthy) grown up women, you can't live with a husband who is emotional a 2 year old....no empathie, no Love, no nice words, no affection, no comfort, no emotional support.....additional to betrayal and lies.....this is it what it makes senseless and dangerous to your own selfworth and existing....

I'm really thankful for my narcissist. Because without him i would have never found Sam Vaknin. And now I'm an expert on narcissism myself. Is that narcissistic of me? 😅

I understand this is a very important & painful issue, I’ve been subjected to it for 20+ years and learned that sometimes we have to laugh at our mistakes and situation to keep our sanity. So saying that: My survival strategy has developed to know that my Narcissistic grown husband will become a dead baby if he doesn’t stop throwing his toys out of the pram in his rages. He better learn to wipe his own bum, I’m done being his abused surrogate mother. No more tears, I now have my own regulated fantasies so I can cope with a smile and a degree of sanity. 😂😂🧡 My affection for him is now no longer unconditional. This mummy will abandon him in my own house with my own silent treatment, dismissal and, individuality. Remember: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. ☺️

Yet another great episode, Dr. Vaknin! King of the field!

تحياتي وتقديري ل دكتور احمد فواد وبروفسير سام فاكنن

Yes

This gives me so many questions. My ex acts like a lying narcissist with no care to the pain she causes (will say she cares but does the exact thing to hurt me), but is emotional to others’ struggles like an empath or BPD (also very sexual and can’t get enough of it), and will constantly express she can’t live without me while still willing to lie and cross boundaries against her word. She has sworn on the lives of her own children to never cross a certain boundary, but then cross it multiple times, and self-sabotage her life’s progress when I leave (job and schooling and probation), and stalks me and says she can’t live without me. What is she? Mind you. She is a drug addict that has colored hair, spent time in jail and prison, tattoos all over including her ex’s and 6 of my name on her, family is Hell’s Angels, loves her father but hates her drug addict mother, and has been molested as a child by her mother’s boyfriend. She love bombs and worships me. But over time, the things she admires, become what she complains about. Again, what is she? She has all the signs of a covert narcissist except she is emotional and will cry when seeing acts of kindness, and can’t live without my “touchy feely” love language.

Prof. Sam Vaknin and community to which animal would you compare covert vulnerable narcissist ? :)

Sam vaknin@: Is in training something a narcissist does subconsciously or consciously?

Hi Sam, can it be argued that some relationships are shared fantasies even if none of the parties are cluster B? Like a non malignant shared fantasy?

Does it work the same way for borderline husband and narcissistic wife? Does she see me as a mother figure and I see her as a father figure ? This triggers my manhood😢 And I feel I’m not enough.

Does a Narcissist create a narcissistic child or does it create a bipolar child, or something else? The child of a psychopathic narcissist is asking, hoping to not become what I hate.

What about using hypnotherapy to treat people with NPD?
