#66- What Makes Narcissists So Loveable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
hat’s the secret that makes narcissists so loveable? Some might say it’s having an unreasonable degree of self-importance; the feeling of being superior, so that one can ‘look down’ at others. Maybe it’s their lack of personal awareness and difficulty adapting to change? Or is it the need to be admired – with or without any real achievements? Or how about being arrogant and coming across as conceited? Or could it be their difficulty with managing their emotions, behavior, and easily feeling slig
#65- Guilt and Shame (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘Guilt and shame’ are common feelings that are part of the human experience and are regularly addressed in the process of therapy. Animals who live by their limiting and rigid instincts do not suffer from the internal struggle of these emotions. It is the struggle around these emotions that is often tied to addictions and mental health issues.

Fortunately, this podcast will finally bring MI back to Earth and put it in its rightful place. Sure there’s a lot that is ‘right’ with MI, but often it is those very things that end up bogging down the process. On the positive side – it’s accepting wit
#62- Sexualized Bullying Intervention – ‘Live’ Video Analysis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a follow-up to last week’s podcast (61) Bullying: For or Against? In this week’s episode we will analyze and review a successful 3 session paradoxical intervention conducted by Dr. Kaplan with a group of teenage boys who were involved in escalating sexualized behavior, living in a residential treatment facility. Of the 11 residents in the cottage, 4 - 5 boys had banded together, and had started to sexually target and bully younger and smaller residents in the unit. Although the staff had
