The he talks I thought it was lex Friedmans relative

When he asks about feelings of failure at the end I would reply, that the failure is real. I could have achieved more if I hadn't had an Avoidant Personality. So, you could say I achieved a lot considering I was carrying this burden. But in absolute terms, I have failed. Otherwise, why am I seeking therapy?

I can perform in some social situations. But I know that people must not be allowed to know the real me, then they will reject me. So I reject them first

As a psychotherapist myself, it was great to see a world-renowned psychotherapist in a real situation struggling with his own authentic typical reactions to the NPD patient, such as smirking and squirming. Narcissists are just so difficult to talk to and here you can see the patient's typical attempts at devaluation and blame-shifting which are so discomforting, with no ability to reflect on his own behaviour. Dr Yeoman did an amazing job to keep things vaguely on track but the whole defensive, disconnected demeanor of the patient looks almost impossible to break through.

Very difficult to find videos as helpful as this. See too many just defining the condition. I need guides to treatment like this. Thank you

Beautiful description of NPD and BPD, thank you.

Avpd sucks but it can get better :)

✅ very good video Love Dr Frank ❤

✅ fascinating

✅ fascinating

narcissists in the comments getting triggered by the way how dr.yeoman's handling this session. they'd pick a fight over the sky's shade of blue. they dont need therapy but jumper cables and a car battery.

Thank you very much doctor. I do hope to watch more information about self Therapy on this Issue.

Why do narcissists call you a narcissist when you decide to set boundaries with them or leave them? They all do it- what is this gaslighting about??

Yo, patient is 100% spot on, cis-hets don’t understand drugs social connection in the Queer community. I applaud their bravery!!

Where Is DJ Trump in this firmament?

So nonchalant and causal “ hi I’m .. “frank yoeman” .. only the foremost, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and yale educated expert in the world😂😂 wish I had access to such analyst or for that matter any in LA. is psyflix from that clinic ?

He breaks down things so well and his examples are so on point and relatable. Dr Yeomans has helped me understand the clinical side of BPD/narcissism so much.

And to think there's one of these nutjobs behind every streetlight...

“I feel like you’re psychoanalyzing me”……well…says Dr. Yeomans 😂….funny, but not funny; unfortunate nature of the disorder, lots of defensiveness. To all the therapist who treat these patients, God bless you all! The amount of dedication, patience, and empathy it takes is incredible.

You’re a gift to us Dr. You’re a gift to us Dr. Yeomans. Such an incredibly difficult disorder to work with; you must have the patience of a saint, and a heart of gold…. Thank you for the work that you do 💛

Eva Gabor wants her wig back😂. He must be losing his hair🤯... Oh the VANITY, IF I HIDE IT THEY WON'T SEE THE UGLY ME...( BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP, UGLINESS, COMES STRAIGHT FROM YOUR CORE). LIFE IS AN INSIDE JOB...🤔🫣

Holy shit, I just saw my ex sitting in that chair... You are so expertly diffusing every single escalation attempt he uses, I am in awe.

35 is not middle age

I've been dealing with avpd all my life and luckily I had the right people and situations to keep me sane. My heart really goes out to this guy, he's in hell but he's still fighting.

Simple acts of charity or helping others can often be the best key to getting ones mind off of itself. It opens the heart up and can relieve pressure on the mind, and gets the focus off of oneself and by giving your also recieving. It promotes self love in a good way because by taking care of yourself you can provide for others and puts your problems in a true-er light.....🙏🏽🙏🏻🙏🏾

I am 65 and a severe bpd and am having an anxiety attack from this video, because I have never felt so seen.

‘Click on’ “more” above to read the video description. The video is a depiction and the ‘patient’ is an actor.

I cried a bit watching this because I could relate so much to the patient. I'm sick of pretending to be okay all the time. I need to address this.

Narcissists and Borderlines don't have empathy. That's why they don't think others have authentic emotions. And they project their lack of empathy onto others. (Thus, "You're mocking me.")

This therapist has set it up that the therapist is having to explain and “sell” the patient on therapy. These two should just start therapy!

Perfect spot on!!

this doctor is 100% npd , full blown npd

I encountered some people like this. 😂 some you can see through right away, some it's hidden until you close enough that you can see their true nature. I really amaze with therapists who able handle them while maintaining their own sanity 😂

Yeomans is world class

Being a therapist is so tough.

Whenever someone says "evidence based" with no further elaboration is when your alarm bells should start to ring. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't relay any idea of the actual evidence - most often because there isn't any. This is psychiatry in a nutshell. Transference may be helpful, but be watchful of such basically dogmatic statements. They are akin of snake oil salesmen. Edit: Yeah, seems like snake oil and victim blaming once again. It comes from a well meaning place but is fundamentally flawed in the end.

How about that wig!! and the blubber!! He needs to go to the gym, clean up, he looks smelly.

When he said that he is a failure, I felt it. Yes I would say to myself too, I am a failure

The wig is killing me

Yes but bpd and narcasim are torally different. Bpd sufferers want to gave fruendssustainmartiages vutthere emitions osrinua suspecious besd gets in wsy if relationship, rarely naybe only 1.11/ percent of if people with BPD wiuld hurt soneone Where psyycopaths dont care who they hurt abd why

I have to take breaks to watch this video, thats how cringe it is. Very informative though, never saw a live session. *scratches eyeballs out*

Trying to build barriers every sentence...

Can hear this psychiatrist knows meanwhile the overwhelming frustration of a non receptive loved one is itself an issue of the same intensity

You made this wayyyyy too complicated! They’re unfortunately still children stuck in a world of lies. Giving them an out by validating any of their bullshit is not helpful. CBT and DBT are definitely better than TFP. It really seems like a great way to make money off of adult children who are suffering. I’m sure you’re very successful in your field of psychology and that’s very sad to me.

Interesting. Are you measuring effectiveness in neurodiverse people as well?

Interesting subject, as I watch the horrors of war, the horrific senseless ordeals and deaths of civilians, I can’t help but think about how such experiences affects their mental states, like those survivor of Hitlers death camps, or people who are abused as children in one way or another, who develop various emotional disorders, etc etc…we pass on our pain to others, like a disease, like alcohol is used to forget, only to make then a alcoholic or drug addiction…it’s a mad mad mad world where people pass on their experiences to the next generation….tragically, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, Peace !

I’m hearing: “I want to be aware but I don’t want to go through the discomfort of difficult emotions that being aware we require. I want to see but my defenses keep me from looking.”

Oh, for more human beings like this wise man.

It's incredible that people get married to those with BPD. After living with one for 4 months I can't stand it any longer.
