#to sum it up she’s a terrible individual who should get her license revoked

Hi i don’t know much about that dr. I looked through her Instagram a bit but like all she did was talk about narcissists. Would you mind telling me about her?

I’d like to clarify that I suffer from npd (narcissistic personality disorder) so you can see why I find her posts and videos highly offensive. Like most people with NPD, it developed through the mix of genetics and environmental factors – primarily childhood abuse and neglect. Her videos, books, posts whatever are not backed by research but by ableism, stigma and bias. Sadly, a lot of articles on the disorder is a bunch of pseudo psychological bs…

What a lot of people don’t understand is npd is a rare disorder. She’s stating it’s on the rise! Which is absurd because as I stated above the disorder can only develop through genetics and particular environmental triggers.

She’s painting this picture that every bad relationship is abuse, that there is always a victim – who can’t do no wrong, and an abuser who’s apparently the devil incarnate 🙄. Not every relationship that falls apart was abusive, sometimes personalities just clash; there’s no need to develop a victim complex lol. And no, narc abuse doesn’t exist. Having a personality disorder does not make someone inherently abuse… everyone and anyone is capable of abuse, being selfish, lying and so on. A lot of lot of us narcissists are terrified of making mistakes or upsetting people we’re re close to. Being abusive would negate us from the much needed love and admiration we crave.

The misinformation she’s spreading has negative repercussions for narcissist because it actually prevents any further studies or aid to help people suffering from npd. Furthermore a lot of us get turned away from therapy or bullied by the people we thought would help us. My disorder is impacting my life immensely, I’d actually like to improve and learn to cope with negative symptoms.

Oh and she advocates for eugenics of people with personality disorders. If so called “professionals” were spreading this misinformation that autistic people are actual demons walking the earth, whose only purpose on the planet is to wreck havoc and abuse people… there’d be a massive uproar! Image everyone supporting the forced sterilisation of autistic people, I know I can’t.

So when you see her posts, just think: if this was towards any other disorder or mental illness like schizophrenia or autism, would I consider it discriminatory?
