Dr. Liz Ross discusses her experience at the Coping Resource Center, focusing on challenges with clients who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). These clients often seek quick fixes and are attracted to brand names. She explains how she adjusts her approach, manages expectations, and addresses NPD tendencies to externalize blame. Strategies include activity pacing, teaching self-help techniques, and dealing with pain level distortions through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Dr. Ross emphasizes the importance of matching strategies to individual needs, addressing psychological and physical pain interrelations, and providing clear recommendations to support systems on helpful vs. enabling assistance. Finally, she highlights the necessity of setting boundaries and effective communication with providers and family. The key takeaway is an individualized, whole-person approach.
