Dispelling the Myths with Kaleah  

Join me as I interview Steve and Kim Cooper from narcissismcured.com where we will talk more on this crazy making personality disorder and Kim's experience in helping her husband change.

Hi Friends,

Kim and Steve Cooper called into the show from Austrailia but there was some kind of technical issue and although they could hear me, I couldn't hear them.  So the show went on without them. Suprisingly it was very good as I talked to a couple survivors who are familiar with both my work and Kim's.  We had a very enlightening conversation which will be helpful to many.  I encourage a listen, if you haven't already. 

Kim and Steve will be back for another try.

Back by popular demand Kim and Steve Cooper are returning to talk more on the topic we ran out of time on last show. Narcissism Cured! We didn't get the opportunity to talk with Steve last show and will get him on this time. Kim lived with her husband Steve's Narcissistic Personality Disorder for years before deciding to make a change and it was the change she made within her self that effected Steve's change. Now, according to Kim, author of "Back From The Looking Glass," Steve is now narcissism free. Join us as Kim and Steve share their story.

Wow, it was a challenge getting this show launched today.  I had difficulty connecting with Sam in Macedonia and the show went live before I could get him on the show, so this explains my rough intro.  But things smoothed out once we settled in and started talking.  It amazes me this technology that allows me to interview someone in another Country so technical difficulties aside it went well.

Sam Vaknin brings an interesting perspective on narcissism, the inside one.  He believes one should not use the term narcissistic personality disorder unless the person being labeled has been formally diagnosed.  Instead he feels we should refer to those with narcissistic characteristics as abusers.  However being this is a very subtle and confusing type of abuse, I feel it benefits victims to consider the possibility of narcissism, whether the abuser is experiencing some traits or all of them.  It helps victims to understand the complexity and craziness of the abuse.  I suppose there is a difference between saying that ones abuser has narcissistic personality disorder and saying he is narcissistic.  One implies a diagnosis where the other implies a set of characteristics that fit within the definition of a narcissistic personality.

Join me as I interview Self Proclaimed Narcissist Sam Vaknin who is one of the leading authorities on Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the Web.
