Intellectually stimulating and many thought provoking takeaways from today's 'Narcissism, Guilt & Shame' Seminar. In distinguishing between a healthy sense of narcissism and pathological narcissism, research shows the answer is in how 'the self' is shaped in childhood. Further, the influence of secure and insecure attachments in childhood is contributing to the problem. When a child feels they need to contain and validate the parents feelings [parents own narcissistic tendencies], it can in turn derail their own self-esteem and may lead to pathological narcissism as adults. This conversation isn't going away. Hubristic pride is flourishing and this is encouraging a rise in insatiable, enraged & empty human beings. It is no wonder mental health is rising. Speakers: Anne Manne, Frances Thomson Salo & Jan McGregor Hepburn.
