This is a slight departure from the regular topic but I have a feeling that as I flush these ideas out there will be a connection. Also, I apologize for the sensationalist heading. Let me qualify. First, I am careful to call anyone a “narcissist” outright. We all have personalities with complex profiles including, to some degree or another, the tendency towards narcissism, the self-centred entitlement that arises from an inability to separate one’s self from external objects. What my heading should say is, “how ‘therapy speak’ brings out our narcissism”. But that’s less interesting.
