48:40Now PlayingNarcissistic elation is the driving force behind the narcissist’s shared fantasy and is the precursor of separation-individuation in healthy adults.
Everything starts with a thought, with a dream, with a narrative. Everything: buildings, books, films, wars, love, children. Reality itself. We are beings made of visions, storytellers whose natural habitat is their own minds.
Fantasy is not only a counterfactual narrative or coercion. It is a regulatory mechanism, a form of self-supply, a defense against fragility and vulnerability, a time machine (regression to symbiosis and womb), a fake good object, a cognitive distortion, a pseudo-emotion (euphoria, not elation and dysphoria, not depletion).
