In part two, I want to talk about how a narcissist can and could change. If you have not read or listened to the podcast, "Can a Narcissist Change? Part One", I would suggest looking into that material. I know I will have some people do a knee jerk reaction and immediately say, "No! A narcissist cannot and will not change. I don't care what you have to say. They just cannot change." And when someone has that mindset, I would agree. When your mindset is rigid and only sees things from a black and white perspective, it is hard to comprehend the gray areas. And, because this subject is so delicate in my opinion, I first want to support you, the listener or reader, in maybe comprehending how someone in "general" can and will change. It has been reported that over 67% of all adults have unresolved trauma, often from early life events and situations, without even realizing it. I will explain this theory in this blog post. One thing I know for sure is if you have been narcissistically abused, you absolutely have significant internal trauma. Some people might disagree, but I want to explain my insights today. I know that it is reported that only 2 to 6% of narcissistic people do seek help. Therefore, this section is about the extremely small percentage of narcissistic people that want to change. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but when I was working with a psychologist to quit smoking and I asked him if he knew about "parts or parts therapy", he shared that he was not trained in this area. I am trained in this area. So, if you work with anyone in the mental health industry or even want to better understand yourself and others, this information could be enlightening. I want to unpack it all and then loop back up to the main topic, "Can a narcissist change?"

When someone goes through a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, their wounds can last long after the initial encounter. The trauma of a physical, emotional, or even spiritual wound can have a deep impact and often has a messy way of expressing itself. So how can someone carrying a deep wound find hope and healing?
Today Crystal is talking with Christian Counselor Darby Strickland about understanding trauma. Darby, who specializes in counseling abuse in marriage, works with individuals, families, and couples, who face a variety of issues. She teaches at Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation's online School of Biblical Counseling and leads a support group for oppressed women. She also speaks at national conferences and trains counselors and churches to care well for those affected by abuse and trauma. Listen as she talks about the impact of trauma and how you can share hope and healing in Christ with someone who has been wounded.
