Do You “Really” Need a Degree to Diagnosis a Narcissist?
Technically, yes, but I say no.
They say you do. But if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and looks like a duck? Well……
The problem arises when the receiving end of the abuse is in denial and trauma bonded. We will make up any scenario to minimize and justify what is really happening to us. Narcissistic abuse. And severe manipulation.
We will live in a “lala land” of hope and potential when there never was any.
But the abuser makes us believe there is with each “I love you this time! I’m sorry!”
“YOU ARE MY ONE! I know it now.”
No degree is needed when you live, eat, drink, and shit this abuse.
You become pretty in tune with what is going on.
It’s denial the victim is in that needs the diagnosis.
Not the Narcissism.
