The attainment of verbal thought can be a tumultuous milestone for individuals undergoing narcissistic treatment. From the patient’s perspective, it often intertwines with the painful emotions of loss, shame, humiliation, and depression. As a therapist, my focus lies in preventing the patient from retreating at these crucial moments when they grapple with the realization of their painful feeling, which may also include anger, ruthlessness and the deep-seated hatred towards those who unveil uncomfortable emotions. This process is dynamic, marked by moments of clarity that become more frequent and extended, yet there’s an inevitable back-and-forth as individuals navigate the intricate path toward change and self-discovery.
