Psychologists talk about an epidemic of narcissism. Today's world requires us to meet more and more demands - we must show leadership and creativity, think positively, constantly learn, work very hard and earn good money. In this world there is no place for fatigue, bad mood, wrong choices, crisis of values and other phenomena that accompany ordinary human life. All this becomes reinforcement for people with narcissistic injury, convinced that they are not good enough as they are. They demand from themselves (as perhaps their parents demanded from them in childhood or their narcissistic partner expects them to do as an adult) for an ideal. And since it is not in their power to achieve it, they consider the only possible option to be to put up with unsatisfactory life circumstances and traumatic relationships. Only awareness of a traumatic experience allows them to make it a part (a useful part!) of their personality and restore their own integrity. The book by psychologist Anastasia Dolganova talks about how to recognize the roots and manifestations of narcissism (the numerous client stories that the author cites help to do this) and find the way to your true self and healthy relationships with others.
