  1. Conversation With Dr. Simon Rogoff: Narcissism and Celebrity, Complex Trauma, and Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)

    Conversation With Dr. Simon Rogoff: Narcissism and Celebrity, Complex Trauma, and Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA)

    ATTENTION: If you’re not interested in narcissism and celebrity, you can skip to the 31:00 minute mark on this video playback. You can subscribe to my Substack, ‘Healing the Scapegoat Wound’ at https://familyscapegoathealing.substack.com to be notified of my next livestream in your inbox. (Paid subscribers are able to participate in a private Live Chat during the Stream). A sincere thanks to everyone who tuned into yesterday’s live video with Dr Simon Rogoff! We had a great subscriber turnout and we appreciated your questions and your participation. Correction: Elvis’s still-born twin’s name was Jesse Garon Presley (I thought it was Aaron). What We Discussed: This was my first interview with Dr. Rogoff, author of Narcissism, Trauma and Celebrity here on Substack. The first half hour or so I invited him to share a bit about his professional background as a clinical Psychologist running a Complex Trauma treatment program in the United Kingdom for the National Health Service. We then explored a few celebrity case studies, looking at how narcissistic abuse and family scapegoating abuse might lead a child to pursue a career in the performing arts. At the 20:00 minute mark, we then took a ‘deep dive’ into narcissism as a strategy and Complex Trauma (C-PTSD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) - the latter being a term that Dr. Rogoff would like to see done away with (and I whole-heartedly agree with him), which we discuss beginning at the 43:00 minute mark. I jumped in on occasion to integrate Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) concepts within the discussion. (And no, I was not trying to look like a pirate - In all my rushing around yesterday morning I forgot to put on my other earring!!) Check out the SAMHSA website to read about Trauma-Informed Care principles as discussed at the 1:08:00 minute mark at https://opentextbc.ca/peersupport/chapter/samhsas-six-principles-of-trauma-informed-care/ Healing the Scapegoat Wound™ FSA Education Support Community exists because of your financial support.

My apologies to Dr. Balapala.
