    This is gold. The dismissive detachment probably got us labelled as shallow, unreachable and incurable. 😢

    So good - as always. “Dismissive attachment” That really struck me.

    This would be way cooler if he talked like Bobcat Goldthwait. Excellent information!
  • @kevinhornbuckle
    This is a very informed discussion. So much valuable clinical wisdom.

    I want to treat my own NPD but I have no access to therapists. What can I do? I am on the brink of suicide. I have as well other personality disorders, like Avoident personality disorders and Dependent personality disorders.

    It confuses me that guanfacine is rarely talked about as an adjunct to talk therapy, aside from it being a risk when treating those prone to impulsivity as one must avoid alcohol with this medication. Cluster B disorders and PFC (frontal lobe of he brain) hypoactivity are hand-in-hand most of the time. Edited for a typo
