Support for Narcissistic Personality Challenges
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) Counseling in Fort Wayne
Understanding Narcissism – Healing Relationships, Restoring Emotional Balance
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a deeply complex and often misunderstood mental health condition that can have a profound impact not only on the individual who struggles with it but also on the people around them. Whether you’re trying to understand narcissistic behaviors in a loved one—or you recognize traits within yourself and want help—Insight Counseling offers the support and guidance you need through Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) Counseling in Fort Wayne.
We provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for both survivors of narcissistic relationships and individuals seeking help with narcissistic patterns.
What Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a clinically recognized mental health condition defined by patterns of:
Grandiosity or inflated self-importance
Manipulative or controlling behavior
Need for admiration or validation
Hypersensitive to
criticism
A lack of empathy
for others
Relationship
Struggles
While these traits can be emotionally damaging to those around the individual, they often mask deep emotional wounds, insecurity, and low self-worth. At Insight Counseling Fort Wayne, we understand this duality and offer specialized care tailored to each unique situation.
How Narcissistic Personality Disorder Affects Others
Being in a relationship with someone who has NPD—whether romantic, familial, or professional—can lead to long-term psychological and emotional trauma. Common effects include:
-
Constant self-doubt and confusion
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Emotional dysregulation
-
Codependency
-
Post-Traumatic Stress symptoms (PTSD)
-
Isolation and low self-esteem
These effects are often subtle, cumulative, and hard to identify without support. Survivors may experience gaslighting, emotional manipulation, control, or a cycle of idealization and devaluation that leaves them emotionally drained and unsure of reality.
