• 0:08
  across all social media platforms.
• 0:10
  This is the first time sitting in my face or hearing my voice.
• 0:12
  I'm a clinically diagnosed narcissist and I use my platform
• 0:15
  on social media to raise raise awareness of NPD, get more
• 0:19
  people in new therapy and also validate the victims, survivors
• 0:22
  and thrivers. They'll say say tasty people

  Today's episode is going to be entitled How can you Tell the
• 0:30
  Narcissist to Get help? How can you convince the
• 0:33
  narcissist to get help? Is there any way to tell my
• 0:36
  partner or my parent or whoever they it is that they might be a
• 0:39
  narcissist and they need to go to therapy and all the other
• 0:42
  good stuff? Before we hop in today's
• 0:45
  episode, y'all make sure y'all check out the Self Love brand.
• 0:48
  I love Me Self Love and Healing. I'm good links to the
• 0:53
  description of every single video and podcast that I do.
• 0:56
  So Yep, Yep Yep. Is there a way to for a
• 0:58
  narcissist to go get help? So I I I get me.
• 1:02
  In particular I get this question a lot.
• 1:04
  I know, I know Ben Taylor over raw motivations.
• 1:07
  I know he he gets this the same question a lot as well about,
• 1:12
  you know, being a narcissist in therapy that's still married and
• 1:15
  having a relationship. People ask like how do I get my
• 1:18
  partner to go get help? What can I say to them?
• 1:20
  Is there any way that I could put these into words to make
• 1:24
  them go get help? And y'all the answer to the
• 1:28
  question people don't like when I tell them this, you can't make
• 1:31
  them go get help. It can't be you.
• 1:36
  It just yeah, so many people attach their self worth to
• 1:41
  whether or not they're narcissistic, toxic partner goes
• 1:45
  to therapy or goes and get help. Like they you say like well you.
• 1:49
  Well, I must not be worth much because my partner doesn't want
• 1:51
  to go get help and my partner must not really love me because
• 1:54
  they don't want to go get help. They don't want to go get
• 1:56
  assistance. My partner doesn't want to do
• 1:58
  this. My partner feels this way.
• 2:00
  So they must not love me. They must not care about me.
• 2:02
  Yeah, that's not the truth right there.
• 2:03
  Y'all. It has very little to do with
• 2:06
  you. It has way less to do with you
• 2:08
  than you think it does what they narcissistic person goes, get,
• 2:11
  goes and gets help, goes to therapy or not.
• 2:13
  It's way less dependent upon to you than you think it is, you
• 2:16
  know? But like, I guess I wasn't worth
• 2:18
  enough for them to go to therapy and get help.
• 2:20
  Lee, you love your wife enough to go to therapy for her.
• 2:23
  It's not about her. Ben Taylor.
• 2:27
  We're all motivations. Another selfaware narcissism
• 2:29
  here. Didn't go to therapy because his
• 2:32
  wife, you know, he doesn't go to therapy for his wife right now.
• 2:34
  He goes to therapy to make himself better.
• 2:36
  I go to therapy to make myself better.
• 2:37
  It's not about them, it's it's still about us.
• 2:40
  I'm very selfish in my healing and for a narcissistic person to
• 2:43
  go get help, they have to want to do it themselves.
• 2:45
  Y'all they have to want to go get help themselves.
• 2:47
  Like a lot of narcissists do, know that something is going on
• 2:50
  within themselves. But to admit that takes so much
• 2:54
  strength and takes so much just takes so much the will to want
• 2:58
  to deal with. Shame that a lot of them don't
• 3:01
  possess that they don't possess the strength to admit that
• 3:04
  something is wrong with them and go get help.
• 3:06
  Some people can admit that something wrong with them.
• 3:08
  They'll say, well, I know something's going on inside of
• 3:10
  me. I ain't.
• 3:11
  Don't feel right. I know that I'm different.
• 3:14
  I can't control myself. I just want to know what's going
• 3:16
  on, what's wrong with me. But I don't want to go get help.
• 3:19
  I can do this on my own. Nope.
• 3:21
  Nope. Nope.
• 3:21
  Nope. You cannot.
• 3:23
  Yeah, you as a narcissist myself, I don't truly believe.
• 3:27
  I truly don't believe that you think you you you can.
• 3:30
  You can do it by yourself. I really don't.
• 3:32
  I don't think that you can do it by yourself.
• 3:34
  I don't think that the narcissists can work on
• 3:36
  themselves, by themselves and change their behaviors major on
• 3:39
  a major, on a major level. I think it requires some type of
• 3:45
  actual outside, outside help. I do.
• 3:48
  I think it requires something, something for the somebody, for
• 3:51
  some outside source. You know it because it requires
• 3:55
  a level of vulnerability for them to go get help believe
• 3:58
  Okay. So what.
• 4:00
  So if you had a gun to your gun to your head, if you had to say
• 4:05
  what can what, what, how do we do it though I'm on options and
• 4:10
  I want to stay. Yeah.
• 4:11
  Again, the only way narcissists get help.
• 4:14
  This is what I said earlier. They have to want to do it
• 4:16
  themselves. So it has to seem like an idea
• 4:19
  that came from them. My wife yelled at me and called
• 4:24
  me a narcissist. My full story y'all if y'all
• 4:26
  don't know if you Google CNBC, Lee Hammock, you know the the TV
• 4:31
  channel and the news organization CNBC, Google, CNBC,
• 4:34
  Lee Hammock. And an article will come up with
• 4:36
  my full story in it of how I got the therapy and how I work on
• 4:40
  myself. Doctor Rahman is in the same
• 4:41
  article. She's in the same article as
• 4:44
  well, so we'll see. But my full story is in it.
• 4:48
  My wife called me a narcissist and then she left.
• 4:51
  So my journey to going to get help came for me.
• 4:53
  Only thing she did was call me a narcissist.
• 4:55
  And I'm this is not me telling you to call your partner and
• 4:57
  narcissist to call your mom or daddy your brother.
• 4:59
  It's just this is not me telling you to call them a narcissist.
• 5:02
  This is me saying that my wife called me a narcissist because
• 5:04
  she was done and she was leaving she out on her way out the door.
• 5:08
  She called me a narcissist and dipped out.
• 5:10
  You said she didn't say hey Lee babe Honey Boo Boo.
• 5:16
  Not stupid, but my my little book.
• 5:17
  She didn't say nothing like that.
• 5:20
  She called me narcissist and dipped out.
• 5:22
  She didn't. She didn't say, oh, I love you
• 5:24
  so much. Go get help.
• 5:24
  No, she didn't. The word help.
• 5:26
  That wasn't in her vocabulary. I I did that.
• 5:29
  I looked up the word narcissist on my own and it opened up the
• 5:32
  world to me. I'm not telling you to call your
• 5:34
  partner narcissist. I'm not saying to do that the
• 5:36
  only way It has to seem like it. Yeah, it has to seem like it
• 5:39
  comes from them. You have to paint it in a good
• 5:42
  light. You have to paint paint it in a
• 5:43
  good light. How do you paint it in the good
• 5:46
  light? Y'all how you paint.
• 5:48
  Telling somebody that they have a disorder, they possibly have a
• 5:51
  disorder and a good life. Somebody who doesn't like, who
• 5:54
  doesn't want to admit that anything is wrong with them.
• 5:57
  How do you paint in a good life? You have to make it seem like
• 5:59
  there's nothing wrong with being a Narcis.
• 6:00
  And that's what my channel. This is what I'm telling people.
• 6:03
  This is my channel. I tell people there's nothing
• 6:06
  wrong with being a Narcis. If you're working to yourself
• 6:09
  and you're not intentionally out here hurting other people,
• 6:11
  intentionally or unintentionally consistently hurting other
• 6:14
  people, there's nothing wrong with it.
• 6:16
  Unless you're like I said, unless you're hurting other
• 6:18
  people. Like, you can work on yourself.
• 6:19
  You can work on yourself like there's nothing wrong with it
• 6:21
  except you for except you for you and work on you.
• 6:25
  It has to be, it has to seem like it's a good idea coming
• 6:28
  from someone else, I mean a good idea coming from them.
• 6:31
  Because you know a lot of narcissistic people, y'all this
• 6:33
  is how the mind works. Like you will give them some
• 6:37
  advice and they won't listen to it.
• 6:40
  Somebody else will give them that same advice and they'll
• 6:42
  listen to it. You are too close.
• 6:44
  Y'all. I think like a lot of people
• 6:45
  don't realize, it's like a lot of times you are just too close
• 6:49
  to the situation to realize that they're not going to take advice
• 6:52
  from you. They don't look at you as their
• 6:54
  equal or somebody on their level.
• 6:55
  It has to come from somebody else.
• 6:58
  So it can't come from you. It has to come from somebody
• 7:00
  else, even it is. And like, even if it comes from
• 7:02
  somebody else, there's no guarantee that they're going to
• 7:04
  receive it the way that you want them to receive it, you know
• 7:07
  what I mean? So even if it comes from someone
• 7:08
  else, even if they say, hey, this is what's going on right
• 7:11
  here, this is what happened right here.
• 7:13
  Even if they are agreeable to listening to somebody else
• 7:15
  calling them a narcissist or not even the word narcissist because
• 7:18
  it's so derogatory, say, hey, you have to go to therapy.
• 7:20
  Somebody getting talked about somebody else has to lead by
• 7:23
  example. Somebody that they respect or
• 7:25
  they or jealous of that they admire has to be leading by
• 7:28
  example and for them to and tell them it has to come.
• 7:32
  And sometimes y'all it can't come from you.
• 7:34
  Sometimes it's not the message, it's the messenger, You're the
• 7:37
  messenger. Sometimes you're just too close
• 7:39
  to y'all and a lot of narcissistic people don't
• 7:41
  respect the people that are super close to them, the wife
• 7:43
  and kids, the parents, they don't respect them like that.
• 7:46
  They don't respect their advice. But if it's like if somebody, a
• 7:49
  high, a high authority figure told them that something like
• 7:52
  that, it might be something that might be willing to look into.
• 7:54
  So it might be, it might be the source.
• 7:56
  It might have to come from somebody else.
• 7:57
  Then somebody else might have to paint it in a good light for
• 8:00
  them. But not you.
• 8:01
  You know, I know you wanted to come.
• 8:03
  I know you wanted to come from you because you want to be the
• 8:05
  helpful source that you are. You want it to be you.
• 8:08
  But yeah, sometimes it just can't come from you.
• 8:09
  Yeah. Sometimes you have to remove
• 8:10
  yourself from the situation. Am I telling you I'm not telling
• 8:12
  you to leave the relationship? I'm telling you.
• 8:14
  Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the situation to
• 8:17
  see it in a different light. Like, this person doesn't
• 8:19
  respect me. They never take my advice.
• 8:21
  So why would they listen to me about, about therapy?
• 8:24
  You know, why would they listen to me about going to get help?
• 8:27
  Why would they listen to me? They don't listen to you about
• 8:29
  cooking and cleaning and whatever the the the paying, the
• 8:31
  bills or whatever. They don't listen to you about
• 8:33
  nothing else. Why would they listen to you
• 8:35
  about going to get some mental health help?
• 8:37
  You see what I'm saying? Sometimes they might pretend to
• 8:40
  listen to you if you want to leave you.
• 8:41
  I mean, like I said, like my wife left.
• 8:43
  I was like, I was all ears When she left.
• 8:45
  I didn't really want her to leave.
• 8:46
  But when she left, I was just like, Dang.
• 8:48
  And then she called me and the nurse said like, well, maybe
• 8:50
  they didn't help her to help me get her home.
• 8:52
  So I looked it up. You mean I was super angry?
• 8:54
  I was like, why the hell? Why the hell?
• 8:55
  She called me a narcissist? Maybe?
• 8:56
  Let me look this up to see what's going on.
• 8:58
  I looked it up and guess what happened?
• 9:00
  Narcissist. And it just happened to fit me.
• 9:02
  So it was in the beginning. It wasn't me looking it up for,
• 9:08
  like, with a good intent. It was me looking it up out of
• 9:10
  anger because I was super angry when she sent that to me.
• 9:14
  I promise you. When she said that to me, I was
• 9:16
  so angry. When she didn't send it to me,
• 9:18
  when she called me narcissist, I was so angry.
• 9:19
  It just didn't make any sense. I was just flame.
• 9:22
  I was literally flaming hot, you know?
• 9:25
  But that's what happens a lot of times in these situations right
• 9:27
  here. Y'all when you're dealing with
• 9:28
  narcissistic people, toxic people.
• 9:30
  This is kind of the crux that you fall into when you deal with
• 9:34
  people like this. Is it like you want them to go
• 9:36
  get help, but they have to want them more for themselves?
• 9:39
  You can't want them to go get help more than they wanted for
• 9:42
  themselves Or you'll be. It's like you put, it's like
• 9:44
  literally like you are pushing against the brick wall.
• 9:47
  You may you you yourself go, go, I mean you don't believe me.
• 9:51
  Go outside, push against, go outside, find the closest
• 9:53
  building to you and push against the brick wall.
• 9:55
  Go ahead and do that. See how that you know, see how
• 9:57
  it ends up for you right there. Because typically it doesn't end
• 10:01
  very well for people, you know, but it's just a space that a lot
• 10:04
  of people fall into. We're trying to help people.
• 10:06
  You want people to go get help. Like I said, it's okay to choose
• 10:09
  you. It really is.
• 10:10
  And I have a lot of narcissists want you to accept them for who
• 10:13
  they are. They want you to like if you
• 10:14
  want to be with me, you have to accept me for who I am, you
• 10:18
  know. But that's the piece that a lot
• 10:20
  of people fall into you out. I just want to help with many
• 10:22
  people like hand they may It has to come from you.
• 10:24
  It can't come from. It has to be.
• 10:26
  It has to seem like it's good, a good idea.
• 10:29
  It has to see like it's been. You have to make it seem like
• 10:31
  it's beneficial to them for them to be better for them to feel
• 10:34
  like the glorious king or queen or whoever they are.
• 10:37
