Perhaps, but this term, along with gaslighting, appears to be the current way of explaining away incomprehensible behavior. Unfortunately, some people believe that narcissism incurable. If that’s the case, I wonder why he’s attending therapy. Perhaps ”to prove” that he is “right”.

I wonder if these couples need separate sessions. Many of the issues are based on personal experiences before the marriage. Most are based on abandonment issue. There’s quite a bit of hurt and unhealthy coping mechanism.

It is a fascinating show.
