Larry, thank you for being with us and welcome to the show your heart I know where you're coming from and super excited to have you on the cell because I know little bit about narcissism. By I don't know anything about Zen this the second viewpoint and that's something that it's really intriguing and I don't know if that does then viewpoint leads to narcissism. Could you explain that to us what the Seine religionists since your running two groups of them no more.

You all will come to realize that role. Track your your your Catholic and I will be very little old global God. What were all looking for that opportunity function in the world with love without going over and what what is ironic about why your note. More than North about the delusion in which you're still no will will will nothing else matters universe you don't have any empathy you love your compassion is nothing easy about growing up my father later I worked with the Quaker talk because were not trying to love, compassion, like what kind talk about what I look back on.

I had no idea what they were talking about when I finally go father was able to drop you. I was with a whole different. You will compassion so still in the process of finding self realities station and he believed that you are your own ball of energy your own universe and all that existed was you your product. I like college but I thought the religion was less about everyone is about everyone. Yes, I don't know much about it, the religion would hundred years old, started by what what what happened struggle comfortable to promote very wealthy Royal people suffered God.

He was very upset about what everything on the way everything almost starvation. All world enough luxury.

Finally just started one you woke up yet. Which which you saw that all the world was one there was no go barriers that were all one underlying reality will look for your blood going to help people. People today could write different variety. All I believe that we experience love and loving one another so I like to explore this for Amy Cotto and this is the key here will continue talking about narcissism ammunition with each wife can bring many difficult situations, domestic violence, addictions, poverty and even sexual abuse by your loved ones. The issue is not stay there, but to overcome all obstacles and show that with the love of God, your husband and your family. You can succeed. Love is the answer. God is the key word reveals Amy Cotto's life, a warrior who didn't give up and achieve the dream of her life. You can get to know more about her at her story on God is the key word.com or buying her book on Amazon.com is again welcome to the care and things pertaining to any capital. Remember that you could listen to the radio show life through the cure up under Amy, or to your radio station if the dumbbells underwriter special for them to bless the lid of the show will be available as support cost to so whoever misses it through the radio just can go to Augusta but cost up. Look for the cure. Please can't even ask Alexa well that's a good thing you must collectively recover what I found.

They just paid less 1010 by Rex Orange County, I realized that I've been blessed all my life. It's really outrageous how I can complain once we realize our potential in God and to live again at when we learn to appreciate all that we've been through and how well we dealt with the pain. You know we always say that again and again, whether we succeed or whether we fail, it doesn't matter if we fall from grace.

God always take us back. We can change superheroes in common like Bruce Wayne, we are talking to Larry right, who is helping us understand narcissism when it comes to the Zen Buddhist religion and for those that are just tuning in, I discovered that the sand Buddhist religion is just a branch of religion where it is believed that everyone applies we are our own little universe. This and we can discover this to self-realization through meditation and so Larry I guess today is with us cantatas are about this great all love you matter what were talking about Christianity doesn't matter which one is right or wrong.

If you there is no right or wrong.

Once you have really low. The all vehicle worked in the one unconditional you technique Christianity love the one thing technique, then Buddhism are little different but the outcome is that that is a wonder universe, one with God or ultimate reality you want to call it an import about North directly related because the board not cannot love not say I think most male but he or she doesn't know how to love because it is not something that you inherit something that comes out of your your childhood environment and the ironic thing is, most people will I would expect a large percentage of people who work dark, the kind of experience that I do what you had loving parents concerned about you care about you. What is working late. Need to special unmet need to grow up feeling that you will need in special and therefore your little felt only reality and Buddhism which you because you are not able to block you not able to walk with you the love your neighbor or the love of God and so the question what is what what what is not why I was here she different. The second thing is how does a person who live with the work get along with the clerk. If you can't really deal with here is helping helping of their to understand what the North really like most therapists never met somebody who has overcome not so understudied, not by something off when you say you are coming narcissism. You're saying that you're okay with being a narcissist because you find that it's under the right context know there's really nothing okay about the very very unpleasant trap.

Most people okay so you're no longer narcissist because I owe because I thought maybe the best remedy for narcissism would be humility to find out what your insignificance and the role of at the same time know that you are valued in God's eyes and compared to the bigger picture problem with your not you have already run the meaning we may be a narcissist and not just in denial. Well, unless somebody tells you just don't okay you have somebody in your family or you work with no real person. No, because there are nine characteristics of North what your discussion my book and very easy to look up with diagnosed therapist will please you tell please detail the nine characteristics. For those of the those of us who are narcissists in denial here.

They are nine characteristics L3 grandiosity power through the are you believe in being special demand for admiration of entitlement. The orientation of others is a lack of empathy and the other or mission of, and become others.

Eric and narcissist is nice, no not not not if you have five you're good to have a personality order enough. What NPD or nerve not personality order the person on the way. It seems that way means people like that.

My mother that I felt far far from the tree.

He went with somebody north you could print your North did not real problem. I was able overcome not with my life.

I couldn't do anything right. I got fired fired writer like terrible relations people while the lover with the and finally my second wife very very she was in therapy are so cute was very concerned about our life. What what I was right and push talk to her therapist that I think might my husband.

She had the book. See all the cold diagnostic manual of mental and and you talk there. That will go back and said will, my therapist, one going into that because it looks like you license your saving grace on Amy L.

And this is the care please call us if you'd like to share your story about interaction with the nuts is personally fuel your self-analysis and you want to change it to 634 through 1866 34 through well continued here, Amy L Boris, that's me missing just like every Saturday at 1 PM on your radio on a happy cheer our website God is acute.com shows are later podcasts is that for the care with Amy That sound that displayed less beautiful soul by Jesse McCartney, God will ease our minds again the chance he would try her tears and he wants us. He wants to be full-time in our lives, because all he sees is your beautiful, not his love go to waste another minute go by feeling alone because it's God that's always holding us in loving our beautiful souls matter how alone we feel God is always, we are talking to Larry White about his personal experience overcoming narcissism. I would also say that we are announcing occultist litters no suggestions for us so that we can play for the show through our conduct as Baytril got is a cure and if we play it, you will receive $25 gift certificate so please go there and give us your subject.

I think when we last spoke. We are talking about your personal experience that you did not know that you are narcissist and he came to find out because your loving wife is concerned and down please continue. Very important thing when she talked her therapist therapist that don't confronted North don't believe you be not open to it and it'll damage your relationship. She didn't but she didn't think that at Fort and she confronted me with information or DSM-V Read it and I started, I broke out in the cold, wet like Mike my current thinking in my mind my life. Like the out hour. I think the mother was. I was able to fully North when she confronted and ended with a kind of felt good that I finally knew what would bothering me all you know you know sometimes I think that society Babies "R" Us because sometimes it's just a matter of knowing a lot of people. A lot of us don't know any better. We have a guest Alyssa Maryellen from Salt Lake City. She would like to share with us go story of not very sorry were going to get married on the line to okay let me make one other comment about 10 it was 22 years between the time that I recognize that I would not and I was able to drop because intellectually coming under say yes I am a narcissist is only the beginning. The question that is hot and that at that point, the whole of learning to love God, love, meditation, it doesn't matter whether Christian or Buddhist or something else has to. Then drop drop that allusion along so walking the love of God or local or putting another terminology the same thing so that the real issue to step got direct there's a problem then then you're open to dealing with the problem but it's not automatic. Let's see we have seen like we have Maryellen from Salt Lake City. She would like to share with her so that she has to say L of the heroes during the game. I would marry. What can you hear I was going more now being manager not coming from a background, I have no clue and I met it was a narcissist Catholic, doesn't the standard religions. I guess a lot very related, people anyway.

I truly loved him and I if I live my and I worked so hard and try to make you my loving and he was like this gentleman talking grip. He horrible and stealthy and he fell thinking everywhere that my every knowledge about difficult for you to save even I mean will help them know I never broke my heart. I would probably crying in my sleep and praying to God my God with truly God I left the morning church when I was 20.0 Christian, I never had a church go to now. I never read the Bible, I don't feel that I'm going starting to now see how Howlett Larry, I mean Larry was even ever, he wrote a book about it.

So it is. Maybe this wasn't the right one for you should you run into it again. This would be a good book and letting you select letter is very typical because the person is selfish, rainy, but now that I believe the purpose of writing will help people like a line here Maryellen will will my book shows you exactly what it means to be an art, but it also makes the point that narcissist can never understand what you failure or something happened.

A crack in the armor. What's the matter, and then you may be able to see it but never been able to treat North.

First of all, they never come around. Second of all, if they do get into the therapist office.

There's nothing to do until their first grade is that yes, North right is not like a magic pill to convey to become a good person. So what's the best advice for those of us living with a narcissist that we just won't give up on and we love unconditionally. No matter what they are not leaving us in stock or need. I believe in divorce. I like everything every day thinking how we were. Anyway, I I think you are like Google and I read our I was reading narcissist to modify Google helped me because I would like oh my God. Everything was back when what you are well. Thank you Maryellen you calling it single-line if you would like to give your information, we can send you a book and look Larry, you are saying that how can we actually go about changing you Larry.

So this woman sounded like a kidnapper for her so give us some help in any tele-it can be can be done important thing.

Clearly you cannot create an art years, but got a problem and that ended people who work with Norton look left not with what they have a problem. But if their life is finally Denied any longer, then there may be an opportunity you know that they finally hit bottom.

All then FA recognizes there are not, then you can begin the process is not easy. The process is Christian terms coming to love God will let go your allusion. Your universe from formal droppings evolution of felt that just opened up the whole world passionate love, yes, but don't we come close to it. When we say all love yourself is a fine line we can talk about that we come back.

This is Amy L if you'd like to give us your perspective from your religion and that is give us a call 1866 34 through one 866-34-TRUTH five say you graces you to being Amy Amy L. And this is the key. You can live every Saturday at 1 PM and are happy to hear, and you radio on social media to care lead of the show will be available as a focus search for the cure with a recoverable on any part question by talking with Larry White about overcoming narcissistic personality disorder and religion.

Lori, thank you for being with us.

We were talking before the breakout farm and how we can help. Narcissistic person on the family perspective of how the person can be help. So do you think they said no forcing it.

So you need to have like a personal big problem to go through to realize that you need help because the only way I I think the important most important realized is not didn't do it on so North accepted narcissist not likely to change it then you start dating somebody envelope or state or something narcissist. But if I'm really loving I'm sure change that. That's not true.

If you will maybe distinguish the difference between assisted personality disorder, and system. People with really bad habits because I don't think that everybody can go into the criteria. All you know this is a disease.

I think that we be right is just a matter of accountability and ownership and not everybody's good about confessing our accepting their fall right and it's just a matter that your pretty little ground that the different men treat treatment not what you have five of those character that I read that the personality whole different thing and so I think the person should do nine characteristics. My partner Randall Boyer. He nodded his daughter, North 353 to go. Personality disorder. You can also get over, but it whole different trip thing. If you know if you find it is not disorder. I think it's helpful to realize it's not his fault didn't do it to himself and compassion living in a world totally different from her dream world. You get is not distinct personality disorder half compassion and to see things that you described how can you get to know what I mean. The only way that I know is by getting to know God's word by knowing God I just, I mean it would let me erupt right to hear what your right to carry God's word or understand word God. That's right, you don't very that's a tough one way to put it North God of the universe know he is the only being another way the world allow what you're saying about God right except the north is a test to come to a place where he is open and I think the only way you can do that is his big show what a person like that in your life you could do is be compassionate and recognized that they don't know what got the problem and then hope all whatever the whatever you can do to bring a chink in the armor if it's like a lot of addiction and alcoholic drink until he or she really reaches some sort of a bottom rest of the word well long time.

Well, you have to you have to hit rock bottom. I would see yet the husband like that problem and if he doesn't leave any hits rock bottom has a supportive spouse lick your wife and it's possible I was 16 years old with an art and it was another 20 years before finally rocket because discovering that you're not in being open to change the beginning.

There's no magic in 20 years you may be able doing 22 month to happen is that you have to really.

The love of God, or in another tradition you have to drop the illusion of so and be open and the kind of the kind of but you went through Amy were very, very difficult.

You were aware of the problem you were able to love God have a relationship with God brought you through it. But that kind of relationship is not possible for not until he had able to say I have a narcissist that I recognize the characteristic and five of them or me now or we go begin that beginning then it really doesn't matter all should change their religious further loss of the rising what what you grew up with will work with your Christian or Muslim world. They all have that the possibility of God's love and we had a Christian country. Christianity is an ideal path to overcoming our you is nice that you got it. If you can get's seriously doesn't feel that I'm not to be enough systemic to celebrate. I mean, because, as the Holy Spirit were made in the image of Christ. Whether you Buddhist or whatever you are you getting know that you champions and I'll forever when you're no longer denial old world you can imagine that God, thank God everything you learn in denial, forever. Thank God they maybe would you book people will be able to see more about the yes I would hope so, because as far as I know now it was a serious book written by a actually was an art and I think that I do a pretty good picture.

He would like the method important to do if you will.

If you're having to relate to an art to know what really feels like an explain of you perspective secure is very work with an art personal understanding of how you could be compassionate with this person who didn't do it to himself on purpose and have no idea what what what are you doing to other people what they need is compassion, understanding and love and the threat we almost finishing with today show.

Thank you Lori to be with us typing my thighs and for discussing such is an important topic because I'm sure there's a lot of narcissistic personalities out there and he can definitely benefit from this blog. The confessions of a send narcissist struggles with the illusion of self. It can be found on Amazon thank you so much Mary you and me of course was great and thinking to appease a Jasper who always comes to even with lightning rods.
