Don't Begin with the Rage: Understanding What Aggression Is Expressing | Epi 176
Om avsnittet
In this episode, we continue our exploration of vulnerable narcissism by examining one of its most misunderstood features: aggression. Rather than viewing rage, resentment, and controlling behavior as the beginning of the story, we explore them as the endpoint of a much deeper psychological sequence involving longing, dependency, disappointment, shame, and the fear of abandonment. Drawing on a thoughtful listener question, we examine what aggression is expressing from a psychodynamic perspective, explore the concept of omnipotent control, and discuss how understanding the psychological meaning of aggression can help us respond with greater curiosity rather than simply reacting to the behavior.
