YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn the wake of trauma, we default to acquired coping strategies (eg, substance abuse or avoidance).
In therapy, the patient learns new behaviors and practicing them until they become the default.
Narcissists are incapable of learning, resistant to it.
Learning is a social process (social cognitive learning, Bandura)
This inability to learn and evolve precludes adaptation and results in the adoption of dysfunctional solutions and strategies (maladaptations), grounded in solipsistic fantasy (grandiose self-enhancement) and cognitive distortions.
