    Leaning into Narcissistic Abuse

    Join KD Holmes, MS, LPC and Brynne Angelle, LCSW, as they dive into the nuances of Narcissistic Abuse. Brynne clarifies narcissism by separating everyday traits from a persistent, cross-context pattern of entitlement, impaired empathy, admiration dependence, and inflexibility. Maps overt and subtler forms, shows why partners misread love bombing, and distinguishes NPD from borderline by the core need for importance rather than connection. Urges ruling out confounds and confronting abuse with psychoeducation, boundaries, mentalization, DBT skills, and trauma work. KD and Brynne break down the spectrum of NPD (Narcissism Personality Disorder) what it is and what it is not, as well as how it shows up in the therapy room as abuse and trauma.
