Children of Narcissists
Hi,
My name is Sarah and I am a counsellor, trained and based in the UK, and I have specialist knowledge of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
This channel aims to explain how people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder affect those around them. Understanding what they do and why they do it can help to make everything make sense. Understanding why Children of Narcissists feel the way they do helps in their recovery from their dysfunctional upbringing.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can result in their children having some or all of the following symptoms:
Depression
Irritability
Numbing
Loss of interest
Difficulties with Concentrating
Chronic pain
Headaches
Hopelessness
Shame and Worthlessness
Substance Abuse
Eating Disorders
Nightmares
