Read More »Part of this distrust in love has to with early childhood experiences. Typically, it is the role of the caregiver to be empathic and attuned to the infant. The caregiver’s role is to protect and soothe a child when they are upset, and in order to effectively be able to do that they need to understand the child’s internal experience. In other words, the caregiver needs to be empathic and attuned. The idea is that for people who develop NPD, there was some breakdown in this process of empathic attunement, which prevented them from feeling loved, and which lead them to develop internal representation of relationships that are somewhat skewed. The way narcissists typically experience relationships is characterized predominantly by a superior self and a devalued other, which, when something rattles the narcissists sense of self-worth, can rapidly shift to a devalued self and a superior other. In other words, relationships for the narcissists are uneven and imbalanced, and the narcissist is usually vaguely aware that they vacillate between idealizing and devaluing others. Frank Yeomans believes that problems in attunement may have gotten worse nowadays: “When people grew up in more extended families, if there was a kind of empathic failure, someone else was there to pick up the slack” he says. Is this something that can be repaired? Yes, according to Dr. Yeomans. “A person can be helped to move beyond that, and to develop a view of relationships that integrate positive and negative aspects of a person based on mutual connectedness, instead of this one-up and one-down approach. It takes a long time, however, because narcissists have such a shaky sense of self worth and their defenses are so fragile that they can’t handle a lot of confrontation.” says Dr. Yeomans, “You have to be patient.” After all, sometimes, what it takes is just one good relationship.
