Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question on whether you can become “cured” of narcissism. Narcissism is very common among addicts, especially early in recovery.

TAKEAWAYS: [:30] I think I’m working with a narcissist. Is there a cure? [4:00] You have to pose questions to them and be curious instead of directly challenging them.

I’m in Recovery, but My Partner Is in Active Addiction

Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question from a man who is struggling to find honesty and empathy during his journey through recovery. His therapist believes he should dive into his childhood traumas, but he’s unsure of the reasoning behind it. Dr. Rob explains that the way we feel as a child is how we treat our spouses when we grow up. So, if we felt unworthy of love, unseen, or completely ignored, we will do the same to those that are closest to us.   TAKEAWAYS: [1:05] I’m trying to meet a long-term partner on an online dating app and they’re more interested in hookup culture. What can I do as a bisexual man? [6:20] My addict wants ME to find him a therapist. What’s up with that? [9:50] I am so kind to him and help him out when he needs it, and he keeps lying to me. What are my next steps? [18:00] I am sober but I fail with empathy and honesty. Is this part of my childhood trauma? [23:20] People who get what they needed when they’re kids don’t struggle with the types of problems we, as addicts, struggle with. [25:10] People cycle through the same patterns they learned as a child.

[21:45] Is my addict trying to gaslight me or is his brain just stuck? [27:30] You get out of recovery what you put into it. [29:45] In Dr. Rob’s family, you had to shame people to take action.
