Week 3 Dialogue Problematic clients Wendy Lipps College of Arts and Science Regent University PSYC 406 Group Facilitation Dr. Pamela Robinson, Ph. D. May 22, 2023 Narcissistic client I decided to write my Dialogue on the Narcissistic client. Aggression, which is frequently seen in interactions with others, is one of several maladaptive interpersonal behaviors that define narcissism. This aggression can damage relationships and endanger people's safety (Du, T.V., S.P., Miller, J.D., & Lynam, D.R. 2023). How to deal with a narcissistic client in a group setting. In the group setting you must continue to show kindness, understanding, and grace. “ A person with narcissism has a hard time relating to other people. Not being able to relate to others also makes it hard for them to find acceptance and love from others as well. “( Fossati, A., Somma, A., Borroni, S., Pincus, A. L., Markon, K. E., & Krueger, R. F. 2017). You must make the group a place of support and understanding even for this individual with narcissism. Giving them a place to work through their self-esteem issues, as well as setting boundaries. Use Scripture to help direct conversations. Scripture is a good tool to use because it promotes respect for one another and boundaries. The Bible instructs us to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves. (Mark 12:31). Compassion, acceptance, and generosity towards even a narcissistic client. Look at Ephesians 4: 31-32 and what it tells us about treating each other with forgiveness and kindness every day. “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander be put away from you, along

with malice. Be kind to one another, just as God has been gracious to you through Christ” (Ephesians 4: 31-32). When you integrate Bible teachings a narcissistic client can learn to become humbler and more open to the love of the Lord. You show them the love and compassion of the Lord through your actions. You are also teaching them how to connect to other people by being loving and kind. A narcissistic client could find genuine love and acceptance among other Christians. You might be able to provide a sense of wisdom and hope to a narcissistic client by helping them with the Biblical perspective of the circumstances. Have them practice gratitude and expressing love, with the attitude of a servant’s heart. Practicing various communication skills is very helpful. Learning to read non-verbal signs, choosing words carefully, and attentively listening on both sides help preserve the boundaries of respect and peace. “You must change the way they think. They believe that anger, disappointment, and abandonment solve problems through what they have experienced. They apply what they have learned to their adult relationships, threatening CRAP (criticism, rejection, abandonment, punishment) when they are displeased.”(Theberge, D., & Gamache, D. 2023).
