The Adult Narcissistic Child Sexual Abuser
Though it may sound like common sense, it bears repeating that NCSA’s can come from any strata of society, and often present as ‘regular people’; they rarely match the stereotyped sleazy guy in a trench-coat. Like any good narcissist, NCSA’s can be quite charming and glib, especially to those that they must groom their image with.
Do you have Dyscalculia? (aka Math Dyslexia)
If I could go back in time with the knowledge of my condition to tell my younger self, I would in the blink of an eye. Not only would I have been able to achieve more academically throughout my time in school, but I would have know that I wasn't stupid, and my teacher would have known that I wasn't lazy, that I was trying, and that I was eager to learn. Rewind to third grade.
The Accuracy of Memory - Did It Really Happen How You Think It Did?
Several years ago, while working as a teacher I was heading home one after a parents’ consultations evening. With only one class of pupils in the year group, I had finished early. For the same reason I had also arrived later than most teachers and the car park had been full, so I had parked on a little road, just in front of the school garage. My car was not where I had left it. The first thought that came into my mind was that the janitor must have moved my car because it was in the way.
Sociopathic Tendencies - Why are Sociopaths Bored all the Time?
There is a website that is run by and frequented by sociopaths. I wish I could attribute the source, but for the life of me I cannot. If I remember correctly, he was asking how other sociopaths deal with boredom. This self-declared sociopath went on to state that he isn’t really even good at acting out emotional responses and that he could easily be figured out if “empaths” (the term sociopaths commonly use to identify non-sociopaths) didn’t automatically assume everyone else was like them.
10 Common Questions About Narcissists (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)
Whilst it's true that narcissists do have some emotions and can indeed have feelings for another person, they are not genuinely capable of loving another person in the true sense of the word.

Why Does the Highest Paid Model in the World Not Wear Sunscreen
Many believe that the best advice you can give, is to tell people to use drugs. The group of drugs that this is referring to is sunscreen. But the highest-paid supermodel in the world does not use sunscreen and describes it as a poison. So sunscreen is a drug and a poison. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen or Gisele Bündchen has been mentioned in 3 of my articles since she does meditation, yoga and martial arts. These 3 practices are for self-improvement of the body, mind and spirit.
Bible Colleges & Seminaries - Unwitting Allies of the Enemy!
Think about this for a second: we send our very young and very inexperienced sons away to be trained in the disciplines of being a pastor one day. Day one: who do they come upon? Usually much older men that seem wise beyond their imaginations and ready to shape their lives for a future as a professional holy man.
Cutting: Why it's a growing trend among tweens and teens
My experience in working with this population, parallels, what is reported by studies and the media. In my practice, I am noticing an increase in self harming each year, and many times schools and parents are unaware, because kids are good at hiding it from adults. This is not to say they are hiding it from each other. In fact, many learn to cut from their friends. And many get help because a friend tells a trusted adult out of concern.
Covert Narcissism (Stealth/Closet), Co-Narcissists & Co-Dependence - Malignant Self-Love - NPD (Narcissistic Personality
Covert narcissism is by far the most dark, dangerous, damaging and difficult to deal with form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) that exists. No longer to be confused with co-narcissism, or inverted narcissism (a term coined by Sam Vaknin) and as the name suggests, "covert" narcissists are much stealthier in their methods than overt narcissists and are therefore sometimes referred to as "stealth" or "closet" narcissists.

When she is received by the doctor and nurses in the casualty room, she is told that because the pills haven’t been taken too long ago, she will have to take a drink made up of charcoal. Blood tests are done and she is put on an intravenous drip as a precautionary measure.
Congregational Healing After a Pastoral Trauma
The typical reaction to a pastoral trauma is to observe a period of shock or grief, followed by a search for a new pastor. As mentioned, there may be an interm pastor assigned that has, over the years, gained some skills in helping congregations in the aftermath of a pastoral trauma. But many congregations simply pin their hopes that the new pastor will have what it takes to help the congregation to heal, or at least forget the nasty bit and inspire them to ‘move on’.

What Judges Need to Know About Narcissistic Personality Disorder in Custody Cases
The NPD parent coming to court repeatedly and contentiously over child custody can be recognized by several other characteristics: The NPD will bring a plethora of legal actions that barely make sense or are fully nonsense. They will often burn through attorneys. They will have a history of multiple PFA’s against them. If they are male (and most are), they may have multiple custody issues with multiple women.
The Child Victim of a Narcissistic Personality Disordered Parent
For all the complaints most parents make about spoiled children, children really do have very little power over their parents. This is even more true in the case of a child with an NPD parent, since the child intimately knows the unpredictability, implied threats and intense rages that the parent demonstrates. The child learns early in life to ‘duck and cover’ by constantly appeasing the childish whims (that change with the breeze) of the NPD parent.
About Narcissist's Enablers and Why They are Guilty
There'd be no such thing as narcissistic abuse if it weren't for the enablers. These are the folks who sit on the sidelines and watch someone else being whipped. They could step in and demand that it stop. They have the power to do so. All it takes is for one or two courageous souls to say "No, this is not okay." But, for various reasons, enablers elect to remain "neutral." The narcissist depends upon these weak-willed comrades. Abusing someone isn't any fun if it's only a party of two.

How to Get the Narcissist's Worms Out of Your Head

Dirty Tricks of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder
There is a little known branch of magic called ‘cold reading’ (and cold readers want to keep it ‘little known’!) that is a replica of what personality disordered predators are naturally talented at. Most magicians and clinical counselors (including myself) have to study and practice ‘cold reading’ skills that personality disordered predators seem to be born with. Cold reading is a matter of intelligence gathering that is going on every moment the predator is exposed to the prey.
