Narcissists Lack These 6 Critical Skills | Dr. David Hawkins

There are six skills that are essential for healthy emotional functioning, and people who lack these skills are what we would describe as emotionally immature or underdeveloped. They don’t know how to process their feelings, so when uncomfortable feelings arise, they act out because they don’t have the skills to tolerate distress and deal with it in a healthy way, much like a six-year-old child. In essence, emotional immaturity is at the heart of a narcissistic personality. Here at the Marriage Recovery Center our treatment for narcissistic personality focuses on the development of these six critical skills that are needed for emotional maturity and healthy relating: boundaries, being receptive to critical feedback, empathy, active listening, distress tolerance, understanding and expressing feelings in a healthy way.
