I have a teenage granddaughter that has PTSD from the trauma of living with a MN step mother. I would like to watch a part 5 on that as well. Is there anything else we can do to help my granddaughter? Her mother takes her to therapy and she’s on meds for the PTSD. I do pray continually for her healing. She’s not having as many nightmares as she was having. I just wish I could do more. I don’t want to say a lot cause this is public.

Earthen Vessels on KZread has many videos about how to heal but if you're not a Christian you will not like what she has to say. In a nutshell, you have to forgive them to free yourself from the evil entanglement. And you have to figure out why they chose you as a victim and work on that weakness or weaknesses.

Agree! I've been divorced from a covert narcissist who was slipping into malignant for 20+ years. I still dread the rare times that I need to be at the same celebration with this man - graduations, weddings, etc. His very presence spoils any event as I'm expected by our adult children to be civil. Years of therapy did little to heal or change the damage done by him. Listening to Dr Ramani & to you, Dr Phil, is far more helpful. Yes, please do a Part 5(& 6...7?) for those who need help afterwards. Even 20 years after. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hard-earned wisdom with us in very clear words. 🙏

From my own experience, the best part of Dr. Phil's advice is to not give them another chance once you've escaped. They have already shown you who they are. They will say and do anything to try and regain your trust but it's all a sham. They are incapable of change. Also if you plan to leave an abusive relationship with a malignant narcissist, don't telegraph your plans ahead of time! Make sure you are safe and have a safe place to go. Don't leave your kids behind, thinking "oh he won't hurt them." You don't know that. Above all, don't drop the charges, if there are any. Get that protection order. I've learned too much the hard way.

"We're cultivating narcissists." .....Right there.....Brilliant!

@le_th_

2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure it's brilliant, as much as it is accurate, and this isn't something new society is doing in any way shape or form, we've been cultivating narcissists in the country since even before we divested from England. Religious sects who broke away from the main church are almost always narcissists, if not malignant narcissist. Slave owners who feel entitled to enslave humans they see as "inferior" or "animals" to work and only provide them with food and housing, and not wages. Today we call that human trafficking. Sure, taking selfies might be new, but when doctor phil was growing up, people still took picture of themselves in front of monuments or with celebrities. The difference was they handed the camera to someone else to take it. There are fewer generations more narcissistic than the Baby Boomers, and this is why there kids are so often so messed up. Dr. Phil himself is high in narcissistic traits and self-righteousness (which is very common in Texas...where I was also raised), and when you hear about his childhood, and how he left home as a young teen to get away from her angry, alcoholic father you understand just how that could happen. Pathological narcissism is a trait you will commonly find in preacher's kids because of the religious abuse that goes on. Dr. Phil has gotten better as time has gone on, and there is no denying that he has *really* worked on himself over the decades, and I can certainly see the progress...but sometimes he steps right back into because that is just what narcissists do...backslide. I do have to say he has done really well for a kid who had to leave home and live on the streets to get away from his angry, abusive father (supposedly a man of god). Spare the rod, spoil the child is about as sick a saying as I've heard....a grown adult beating a child with a rod? Dr. Phil's son is a wanna-be/sorta-is performing artist, and that's an incredibly narcissistic pursuit, although he may not be a narcissist himself. Those guys get addicted to all that applause and the admiring fans. That's not my subjective opinion, that's just stating facts. Being in a band can be a lot like being in a gang, and those who stay in it for life often remain emotionally stunted, constantly needing to be on the road for the applause. Pathological narcissism has been around for a long, long, long time...it is not new, but social media definitely fosters it. Before social media there were magazines (Vanity Fair? It's even in the name), before there was TMZ there were paper tabloids, before there were tabloids, there was the party line on which neighbors could pick up their telephone and gossip and listen in on other people's conversations. Before there was the party line, there were neighborhood gossips, the church lady gossip, there's always been the family gossip, in Jewish communities they call this person a yenta. What social good social media platforms have done is allow people who didn't know what pathological narcissism was to now find out, just like KZread. Also, he forgot to mention the other professions that are high is narcissism: psychology, psychiatry, medicine. There are far too many psychologists who are high in narcissistic traits themselves, and that tends to be communal narcissism So, yes, we are cultivating a culture of narcissism....and it's been happening in one form or another since there were king and queens in Sumeria, Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, China has had emperors for how many thousands of years? Sports cultivates narcissism, and any kind of celebrity cultivates a culture of narcissism. This is why I say it's not brilliant....it's just stating the plain truth. (and I do think Dr Phil is intelligent, and he's worked very hard to acquire his knowledge base and experience, so he's earned it, like many other narcissist...Musk, Oprah, Steve Jobs and many other near workaholics who are also achievement-driven and admiration-seeking).

Thank you Dr Phil for your chats on narcissism. I really scared because my ex ticks all the boxes you have discussed. The scariest thing is he has convinced people that I am the bad person. I have complete strangers ready to hurt me because of his lies. While I was planning my life around this man and invested a lot time time and energy into this relationship. He was back stabbing me to his work colleagues. His boss thinks I’m a monster. He even tried turning our son against me. Everything he did to me was abusive. Every time I told him how he was making me feel. He would say things like, how can I make you feel like that. These are your feelings and I can’t control your feelings ???. He attacked me several times for no reason at all. There was no fight, no provoking. These attacks on my were spontaneous and usually after we had a nice day. It always happened when I was happy. He is a very evil nasty person. But he f he as convinced people he is a good person and I am the monster. He denies everything he has ever done to me and will turn everything around to be my fault. I have done nothing to this man. Now I’m even more scared because he is hosting me but strangers are attacking me.

No. You are not alone. I can hardly find a time in my life where I wasn't being targeted or gaslighted by one narc or another. I always asked myself why? Was there something about me that was attracting evil people? Or, perhaps, everybody was evil and somehow I was the outlier. That couldn't possibly be true. I am a terrible liar, and waste too much time feeling guilty for even minor insignificant lies, so I avoid lying at all cost. I've spent decades trying to answer that question. Researching and taking all the pieces of my life to put together this great big puzzle. The correct answer turned out to be that I am an empath. The polar opposite of a narcissist. That I wasn't seeking them out. No, they were seeking me out. It is rare that 2 narcissists will marry. A narcissist does not want to share the stage with their spouse, but requires a partner they can dominate ... thus, setting up an easy win as they dissolve the soul of their partner the empath and feeding narcissistic supply to the narc. The next question becomes ... how do you stop them? There's not much that can stop a narc. Even an experienced psychotherapist will fail at treating a narcissist, they don't care that they are hurting people they claim to love. But, they are not capable of loving anyone. There's no room left to love anyone else other than themselves. Love for you is just another one of their lies. Narcs tend to surround themselves with other people that feed their supply, so when the empath leaves they are abandoned by an entire community they once shared. Much like Trump. It is difficult for people to abandon Trump because they face political peril and isolation if they do ... ie Liz Cheney. The same is true of the empath leaving the narc. The only path to freeing yourself from a narc is education and preparation. Oh, and never have kids with a narc. A narc will not hesitate to abuse their own kids in pursuit of hurting the empath. They can't feel the child's pain, so to them it is a perfectly acceptable method of getting revenge on the empath. A narc will brain fuk your kids minds and cause a once loving normal child to turn on the only protection they have ... the empathic parent. So, the secret to escape is 1) Do not let the narc know you're on to them. Treat them as the God they believe themselves to be. 2) Plan, plan, plan. Stash cash, open separate accounts. Take money from joint accounts at the grocery checkout by getting cash back. 3) Pack everything of value and get a storage locker. 4) Join a support group because the narc will take your friends and even try to solicit the sympathy of your family and isolate you from them. Take as many allies with you, especially if the narc doesn't know them. 5) You may need to change jobs. The narc is not beyond following you, or having you followed, to your new home. They have no shame ... they will speak to your boss and co-workers and try to get you fired. 6) Change phones and disconnect from social media. Reconnect using the new phone under an assumed name. Join locked groups for posting. Study the narc. The narc uses a standard book of tricks for every gaslighting con they pull. It's systematic. The day you disappear without a word and without a trace, you will mortally wound the narcissists ego and send them into a narcissistic rage. You do not want to be found. In fact, they may be looking for you for years because you wounded them so badly. They won't forgive you.

Nothing has ever been off limits. My family seeks to exploit this and are trying to cut me out of the will. Maybe they are narcs, too? I spoke to my cousin not that long ago. She asked not one thing abiut me and was very bitchy. I was the most beautiful child and a child prodigy. She will never let me forget that I knocked her out of that position.

Where are you taking questions? Here, from the comments? I lived with a Sociopath Sibling. It was horrendous all the time. I am 60 years old and I finally gave up 7 years ago and went full No Contact. It's been very peaceful. She used to tell me all about her 'adventures' in torturing people for fun. Not only is she mean to the core, but dangerous. Her biggest desire is to hurt someone physically. She wanted me gone from the family, accomplished! She wants her ex dead so she can have his property. She was actively trying to do with by making him have a heart attack. When 3rd husband died, she threw his child out and sold everything, kept the money, etc. Husband that died...she used to complain that he wouldn't get up and DOOOOO anything. There is so much I could write a book on this.

When I went No Contact almost 8 years ago, my oldest son said "It's about time Mom, they treated you awful". They didn't treat him very well either. I feel stupid for hoping for change.

Dr Phil ! I'm PRAYING that you read this because it's of the most SERIOUS NATURE . My daughter is a Malignant Narcissist and she has 5of my grandchildren . And I noticed a psychopath behavior whenever I'm around . The children are afraid to show me any nice attention afraid of their mother's behavior . I am EXTREMELY CONCERNED for the safety of my grandchildren and my daughter . What can I do to protect my grandchildren . I have called DCYF many times and she is quite able to turn it around as if I'm the issue and they believe what she says even when I have solid PROOF if the aligations

When they go after your family your kids your grandkids your friends your business partners when they go after strangers...all to get at you to inflict pain on you by inflicting pain on unsuspecting innocent people as you watch in horror....knowing even if you try to warn explain to anyone its too crazy for others to grasp ..

I wish I knew all this before. I have a narcissistic sister and brother and I’m the scapegoat . I should have left years ago and not returned. I am now working on my Exit! They can’t change…it’s the truth. Everytime I thought my sister had changed … oh I was so wrong. She’s a Demon!

I feel I have grown a lot and have become the person I am today because of these people. It is very helpful to understand their behavior and their way of thinking. I have learned to never take their ramblings personally. I do what I want to or am able to and no more. It has helped to draw boundaries and stick to them. My question is how did two covert narcissist end up together in the first place? They are now thankfully divorced.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

right on about cultivating narcissism!!! I recently retired...thank goodness. The changes I have seen in our culture over the past 45 working years of my life were just too much to stand. The magnitude of the self-importance has increased exponentially. The audacity is beyond belief. They want your job and have no problems going after it. Management allows/encourages the younger ones to do it, so they (management) do not have to do it (push you out). Then they acted like what are you talking about? You are too sensitive. They are not doing that. Gaslighting. It has been 8 months since I retired, and it has taken me that long to detox, relax, dream again, and just to feel good again physically and emotionally. For management to come after your health is reprehensible especially in health care. Unbelievable, but true. Health care professionals making each other sick. Terrible.

Thank you dr Phil . Absolutely love his straight honesty . God bless

Just for interesting info: in the French language, a selfie is called "ego-portrait." I think no translation is needed. :-)

Thank you Dr. Phil. Your television show and virtual broadcasts help me understand and protect myself those around me. I’d love to hear more about coping with narcissists in the workplace, when quitting is not an option and the narcissist has great influence over the leader of the organization.

I'm 30 Dr Phil and I completely agree that it's bizzar that people take pictures of themselves.

It’s so hard for good people who want to see the good in others to believe that truly evil people exist, but I know they do and I truly feel like I’ve escaped the devil himself. 😭😬 I’m glad I didn’t know it at the time though bc I might have been too scared to leave. Trust & believe I needed to leave. Thank you dr Phil. Sending love to you and your wife.

Dr. Phil, this is the 4th one of your videos I've watched tonight. I always learn something from you. The covert narcissist in my life is starting to sound more like the Malignant narricist. I saw my therapist today. He said I'm doing good but realize you need to walk away from him. Nothing good will come from him. Yeah, I'm walking.

I’m a year late listening . I wish more people had been more aware 5 years ago. Now we all have to deal with those who have fallen prey to the Narcissist. Love how you can pretend we all don’t know exactly who we are dealing with.

I DEEPLY have to thank you yet again for your last Covert narcissism video, I've been studying it for 2 years now and could not get it to fit but watching your video pieced it all together. I now see my mother and grandmother were CN's and thats why I was drawn to narcissistic partners, starting with an overt (who was unfaithful and abused me physically once, I had large bruises and got my skin destroyed by him, I was only 14, he was 28 and my first partner) so after that I aimed for the shy quiet guys who turned out to be even worse because of psychological abuse I now see I've endured for the last 30 years. No wonder I've been on antidepressants and suffered from anxiety for so many years. I now also understand why I've broken it off with all of them and why they fought me to the nail and tooth about parting ways. (It took years to get rid of one and then the next came) So many things fit together, like a long puzzle of questions and strange things that finally have answers. THANK YOU, Dr. McGraw, THANK YOU! Your fathers condition actually helped make THE best covert narcissism video I have seen, that helped others in this so I guess it brought one good thing.

I thank you for taking the time to explain how a Narcissist is. I never knew there was such a disturbing behacior. Ive encountered ppl like this and it was me feeling like I was the one with this problem they blamed me for Your so correct and its helpful to understand this disorder.

Raw. Unsweetened. Truth. Period.

Your services for Phil in the blank are stellar. I am being helped. But sad cause I really don't have good healthy friends.

I am frightened for her and my beautiful 2 year old Granddaughter. Nancy

Dr Phil, I REALLY THANK YOU... I met my wife September 1985. She lived with her parents in LA. At 30 she was the youngest sibling of four: Sister, brother, sister, my wife. (I am 7&1/2 years older than her.) I lived in SanJose. She moved in with me in June 1996. By 1997 I knew something was very wrong, but it took deep suffering for many years until 2019 when I was left bawling on the floor crushed again, and all she could do is blame me and turn my youngest daughters against me... ZERO EMPATHY... That's when I started researching various personality disorders, and realized she has narcissistic characteristics... December 2020 I again found myself crushed on the bathroom floor balling very hard, buggery nose and all! That's when I decided to live for my own happiness, albeit not neglecting my responsibilities as a husband and father. The pain of living with her, and my daughters who side up with her is just more than any saine person can deal with. On top of that, I am disabled with Severe Chronic Pain Syndrome, which is very difficult to live with. I have been disabled from severe symptoms of CPS since 02/10/07. I love my wife, and feel very sad for her disorder, but I must love myself first. I must find a way to live away from her so I can flourish as the living beautiful person I am..

@@santoparfano1910 Thank you Santo... It's so sad! Because I love my wife very much. She is a wonderful mother, and does her best to shop wisely helping us survive well with our low income. We used to be best friends, that was beautiful. I know she loves me, I know she does her best. She does love me for who I am. That says a lot. Unfortunately Narcissism is so very ugly! Their caught within their own spider web. Narcissism is the black widow that poisons the beautiful person inside them. Dr Phil is absolutely correct. There is no trying to talk with them because they take everything so personal. What I have learned to do is insist we speak calmly and civilly. If they begin trying to control the conversation by rapidly changing the subject, blaming me, or raising their voice out of control, I simply end the conversation, (taking their NARCISCISTIC powers away.) Telling them I will not put up with their same old same old narcissistic behaviours preventing our civil conversation. I know that when I can leave my whole life will change, my pains will surely improve. I will miss her, and wonder how she is doing. I will always love her, and always try to help her with things she can't do herself. But I've learned I must love myself first. The saddest thing is she has damaged my relationship with my children, acting childish and encouraging them to treat me like sht... Blaming loudly. Upsetting my young adult daughters; 17 & 20. Walking away instigating them on. Consumation of the original conversation never finds resolution. This extra difficult. I suffer greatly from Severe Chronic Pain Syndrome and its monstrous Symptoms. The truth is I have spend the last ten years in my bedroom just to reduce the pain signals from causing my brain to suffer, and to avoid their grief towards me. Good luck Santo... God Bless you brother... PS I think I would appreciate the honor being a guest on the Dr. Phill Show sharing our experience, our story. Possibly! Helping a narcissist behold their presented difficulties - in simple conversation techniques. Presenting them tools for change. Helping them to find a reason to change. Giving relationships a chance. Understanding when to get out. Being involved with narcissism is a real challange. Forcing deep introspection... In this it is a blessing bringing inner strength (Possibly getting Doctor Phil's professional help and guidance...)

@@tundrawomansays5067, I so agree with you. Enabling, coddling, and rescuing your child, sibling, and anyone else gets you no where, except that you feel more responsible and dependent of them thinking if you do more than they will change. You can not do anymore, because they refuse to change and why change if it has worked this far. Why fix a wheel when it still works. A narcissist is a narcissist and they will never change and you are in a no win situation. The more you do for them the worse they get. They enjoy the "highs" to much when they bully, become verbally abusive, threatening and to include physical assault, their out of control volcanic rages, screaming and yelling to the top of their lungs, playing the victim role, seeing others stunned with a loss of words due to their behavoir, and so on. It seems this man is the "Golden Child" of the family and he continues to expect the same treatment and attention as when he was a child. Coddling and enabling him will never work as the older he gets the worse he will become. He will expect more and more than is what is humanly possible. Not even a parent or professional can meet all their needs, because they are so unrealistic. I agree he is 35 years and the rescuing, enabling, and meeting his every need needs to stop. You are not helping him, but only encouraging his behavior. This gives him the message thst says, "It is ok to mistreat and abuse you. I know you will take it." It is not and never will be ok for someone to abuse another person. She is not helping him, but hindering his ability to grow and be self sufficient.

Thank you so much Dr. Phil for taking the time. The first one I watched was the covert narcissist, and I am dealing with someone like that, who unfortunately is my landlord and it's unreal how much he is exactly like this. I knew he was a narcissist, but I am learning about the other types as well and learning about the other 3. I have a feeling by the time I am done watching and learning them all, he has a combination of them all. Very dangerous and lately it's been more and more extreme. Thank you. I have learned so much and trying to learn how to deal with him because certain things he has said, and flat out lied about will make me see red and completely loss my cool. I have dealt with this for too long (3 years) and I am now at the end of my rope. I don't like feeling that kind of anger that seems to come out every single time around him in a matter of minutes. I could go on and on, and that would take up a whole show of yours. Thank you again. Love all you do.

So true; I however, feel like they're great at reading the room. And they're even better at putting on a façade to convince everyone else that they're amazing human beings, only revealing the wolf behind the sheep's clothing to those whose opinions they don't value. And I know we all tend to put our best foot forward in public, but this is a whole different animal. Because they're so quick to flip the switch from their public portrayal to the true evil they can be, like the moment they go from being in public to being alone.

I lived with someone like this for a period of time. Being the oldest of 11 children, I needed to learn it was not my job to take care of everyone.I had a lot of learning moments to help me grow out of this pattern of behavior. I learned I had to change my way of thinking. I will share two of the many learning experiences I had.I was playing softball, and I threw the ball from the out fild to home plate. I had thrown the ball so hard that I continued to rotate to the left, I heard a pop and went down immediately. I felt so much pain in my left knee. I could not get up. A lot of people rushed to the field to try to help. My husband at that time was the last person to come out to me. His response was, " Get up, you're embarrassing me." I was shocked, to say the least. I had torn the ACL in half, torn the meniscus, and took a peace a peace of bone off the knee. There was never any "I'm sorry, nothing." Another learning moment that was very hard for me. I worked hard to protect my siblings and my children. My ex-husbands mother came to see me. She had informed me that my ex-husband had molested his sister. That I should not trust him with my daughter. My first thought was that she was trying to break up my marriage. That night, I calmly sat down with my husband at the time and told him what his mother had told me. I will never forget his response. He said, " it was her fault she kept coming back for more." She was 5 years old he was 16 -19. I wanted to get away from him as fast as I could. I went to seek counsel that night. I was told that my 2 year old daughter would be left with him because I had no evidence to prove otherwise. I made a discussion to stay long enough for my children to have a voice and to gather evidence. I was able to get a voice recording of him admitted he had molested the child along with other important documents. I had to learn not to repeat this pattern of getting involved with someone like this. The most important thing I needed to learn was to believe in what I know.

Lived with N husband for 40yrs. Divorced now, trying to heal. Took that long to get brave enough.

You guys are doing great!

i work with someone who is like this and honestly sometimes it is a little scary. to see someone outright LIE (not to cover their/my a$$) for no good reason just to get accolades or to set someone up. this is a very very real thing

There are so many here on KZread that do the exact thing you're talking about... it's amazing. Thank you DR. Phil you're the best!👏💯

I knew nothing about the cluster B; borderline personality disorder and narcissism as I struggled to raise my daughter who came out of a Russian orphanage at the age of 8. She told me she came with lans to run our lives and our home. Of course we didn't let her, WE THOUGHT! She would bounce between overt and covert and bounce all of us, parents and three other adopted siblings, with her. She is now in her late 30's. I wish I knew then what I know now. I could write a book about all the lies and damage that was done inside and outside the family.

I really wish I had seen your info on malignant narcissists before I ended up working with one. Needless to say I am now well aware of what to look out for. Sadly I had to learn the hard way.

Dr Phil please do a show on how to set boundaries whilst trying to co parent or be pregnant to a narcissist

The clearest explanationation i have ever heard of this subject. Thank you Dr Phil.

Thank you Dr Phil for your awesome advice and lessons. Can you please do a video on how to handle a narcissistic family?

I didn't find out what had happened to me until very late in life. From the information I have garnered from extensive research, I believe my mother was a malignant narc. She chose me as her target when I was very small. I could not figure out what was wrong. Everything and anything would trigger her into violent rages. She lied about me to family and friends for decades. She gaslit me and made me believe I was a bad person. She was projecting her bad qualities onto me. She turned the siblings against me to where it culminated in a family mobbing that included violence. These 2 sisters have become her clones. I had no choice but to cut them off. Having gone no contact, my life is getting much better. Dr. Phil could you do a video on the family scapegoat of a malignant family system.

@James Erickson Thank you so much. I felt very alone at times. I know it does get better, however, it is a hard pill to swallow, being vilified for nothing and not understanding. I'm very grateful for the information that's out there now. I would have carried her hatred with me to the grave. This way I can let it go and be sure that it was her and not me. I wish you well in your healing too.

Thanks Dr. Phil for putting on these series! I have learned quite a bit

One of the narsisist I livid with Brian Would insist on driving and crashing everyones cars without a license or insurance. And every time I confronted him about it a vehicle would get destroyed. This is the type of person that will mess with your brakes and call you a clumsy driver for insulting them. Then there was the car that burned up while I was on the freeway. I managed to trace the trail of fires for this guy from California to Illinois. He dumped my dogs in the street like garbage by the animal shelter at night killing one or them. A lot of my friends died with in a year of meeting him. Narcissists are very sneaky and view anything they can get away with as fair play. And when they do get caught prison isn't so bad for them because they get attention there anyway. There are only a few ways to punish these people solitary confinement shunning. I can only be confronted when they're in a situation where they can't hurt anyone in a cage where everyone else is safely out of reach. I would like to go on your show to talk about it. The Bible has a lot of good advice on narcissism.

I’ll tell you one thing. If someone is bad but wants to change then it means their environment is forcing them. Maybe abusive parents, bullies in schools. As long as they want redemption then they deserve it

I'm afraid now to talk to anyone in any depth for fear they may be a narcissist. After being tricked by my narcissist for so long. I've listened to over 90 hours of info on narcissism. I want to learn all I can about this sickness.

It's not a sickness, it''s a personality trait. Don't give them the benefit of your sympathy. And please don't be controlled by your fear. Otherwise, the Narc has won!

Wow! I am so impressed by this series. I have learned so much from hearing you speak about narcissism. I know a covert narcissist that I had to put up boundaries with so I am able to tolerate that person better. Thank you Dr Phil! I follow The Behavioral Panel, and in watching both channels it is easier to spot a narcissist. It is easy for me to fall into their traps as I am an empath, but I feel better protected from falling into their traps. I can't thank you enough !!!

Thanks for these episodes Dr Phil!
