    The Neuroscience of Narcissism: Understanding Their Lack of Empathy

    Send us a text In this episode of Two Queens and a Joker: My Narcissist's Ex and Me, Brenda and Sara explore the neuroscience of narcissism, exploring how the brain's wiring affects empathy and emotional connection. They discuss the differences between feeling and thinking empathy, the implications for survivors of narcissistic abuse, and the potential for healing through understanding and therapy. The conversation emphasizes that while narcissists may have a different brain structure, it does not absolve them of responsibility for their actions. The episode aims to empower survivors by reinforcing that their experiences are valid and not a reflection of their worth. Takeaways Narcissists have a different brain wiring that affects empathy. Feeling empathy is often broken in narcissists. Narcissism can be on a spectrum, similar to sociopathy. The brain's self-focus circuits are overly activated in narcissists. Narcissists can understand empathy but often use it manipulatively. Neuroplasticity allows for potential change, but requires effort. Survivors should not blame themselves for the narcissist's behavior. Therapy can help survivors but may not change the narcissist. Empathy can show up for narcissists when it serves them. Understanding the brain's role can aid in healing from abuse.
