Narcissistic parent

"If something I did hurt you, I’m not responsible unless that was my consciously intended outcome, and I did it maliciously.[1] Parents have permanent authority over their children. Children are permanently subordinate.[1]" I see. Those are some examples of dysfunctional beliefs that may be part of a pathological narcissist’s self-mythology. Dysfunctional beliefs are beliefs that are irrational, unrealistic, or harmful to oneself or others. They may cause emotional distress, interfere with one’s goals, or damage one’s relationships. Dysfunctional beliefs may stem from cognitive distortions, such as black-and-white thinking, overgeneralization, personalization, or emotional reasoning. Dysfunctional beliefs may also be influenced by one’s upbringing, culture, or trauma. Dysfunctional beliefs can be challenged and changed by using cognitive-behavioral techniques, such as identifying the evidence for and against the belief, examining the consequences of the belief, and generating alternative beliefs that are more adaptive and realistic. 😊 --- dysfunction // delusion // self-delusion // group dysfunction
