When you have an ongoing relationship with a person who is persistently narcissistic, it is only natural that you'd want to confront that individual with the hope that healthy adjustments can be made.  But instead of engaging in a constructive conversation, narcissists will predictably double down on their dysfunction and will refuse to receive input.  In this episode, Dr. Les Carter identifies the lead ingredient that inhibits narcissists from growing, and describes all sorts of other patterns associated with that one ingredient.  Your task is to be aware of what you are up against so you can remain steady in the midst of their unsteadiness.
