temporary reactive narcissism
Hello!
What do you think about the concept of temporary reactive narcissism, borne out of relationship without compassion or empathy?
This concept can be found on the website www.compassionpower.com, started by Dr. Stosy, who posits that when two people are involved in an unhealthy dance in a relationship fed on anger and resentment, temporary pathology can make people lose touch with their core value, which in turn creates abuse and a victim-like stance from both parties.
Stosny says that they key ingredient to a healthy relationship is compassion borne from core value. He also says that it is impossible to diagnose one's partner, as we are too close and not professionals, although most people (men and women)do indeed label their partner as crazy, narcissistic, co-dependent, bipolar, etc.
He does state that of course there are people with true pathology as well, and the only way to steer clear from these people is to nourish our core value...he writes about very interesting ways to do this. In addition, he approaches emotions and core value from a scientific angle- getting blood flow to the right areas of the brain in order to most optimize our thinking.
I really like his work.
