Does a Narcissist know what they are? | #78 Ask Kati Anything

Ask Kati Anything ep.78 - Kati Morton's Mental Health & Psychology Podcast

1 (0:48) What's the best way to build self esteem after years of emotional and physical abuse? I was abused as a child and it feels like no matter how hard I try, my inner monologue/strongly held beliefs always resort back to what I was told as a child. I've tried many things to change this but it's so deeply set.

2 (18:43) Did going to school to be a therapist bring things up for you? I just started my program and I’m loving it, but I’ve noticed that a lot of people in my program are struggling to an extent because the content brings up past trauma.

3 (24:17) Is it possible for someone with narcissistic personality disorder to be aware they have the disorder? It seems like a lot of therapists...

4 (30:44) Have your clients ever gotten mad or angry at you during a session? If so, do you ever get frustrated with them/ not want to work with them anymore? How would you go about it?

8 (57:11) I was reading up on HIPAA for school recently and was wondering: why can patients be denied access to their psychotherapy notes? It seems unproductive if we can't even see the notes and all our providers may see inaccurate notes...

9 (1:02:34) What is your take on those who believe mental illness isn't real? Any reasons you've heard to try and prove this statement? I've heard a few different arguments but one that stood out to me is that if people were incentivized to stop their behavior...

10 (1:06:45) Before I ask my question, I wanted to say thank you to you and Sean for putting in the time to do AKA. I think it helps a lot of us feel heard and validated, and helps us to find our voice. My question is about therapists hospitalizing someone because of suicidal thoughts...
