Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Self-centredness, even narcistic behaviour, often shows up in subtle ways across our inner and outer lives, even in people without Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Many people display self-centered behaviors as a means of coping, rooted in deep emotional wounds and a need to fill an inner emptiness. In NPD, this need for dominance or control is an attempt to avoid facing profound insecurities and vulnerabilities. When left unaddressed, these tendencies can lead to prolonged difficulties, hurting both the individual and those around them.
Narcissistic behaviors act as a shield, protecting individuals from painful truths about their past hurts. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore these deep-seated wounds, allowing individuals to understand the fears and insecurities driving their behavior. Daniel’s goal in working with clients who display narcissistic traits is to help them address the underlying anger, pain, shame, and denial that fuels their self-centeredness. By confronting the hurt that caused all of this and gaining dominance over that, these individuals can release their defenses and begin to foster a more balanced sense of self, build healthier coping strategies, and ultimately possess greater empathy and understanding. This healing process opens the door to more fulfilling relationships and a life less driven by self-protection, helping individuals and others around them, find peace within themselves, and a path to fulfilment.
