In this episode, we explore the complex emotion of shame and its deep connection to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). We'll uncover how shame influences behavior, leading individuals to either retreat into isolation or lash out to protect their fragile self-esteem. Through relatable examples, we delve into the origins of shame in early childhood and its lasting impact on adult relationships. You'll learn to recognize the signs of shame in narcissistic behavior and gain insights into the defensive mechanisms that often accompany it. Join us as we unravel the hidden layers of shame in narcissism and discover how it shapes interactions and self-perception.
