The above is a video of my thoughts on narcissistic injury which I define as seeking a feeling of empowerment to displace a feeling of unbearableness. It is in part inspired by a research paper I had written on intimate partner violence and what dynamics perpetuate an abuser's unhealthy/alienating response to anger. On the topic of narcissistic injury, I think a lot of this below video from a Dominican about an acquaintance of his who was capable of holy things but also had a side to him that was malicious. This is a video that was part of the curriculum of a course I had taken online from University of Mary's counseling program from Professor James Link Psy.D who happens to be a third order Oblate as well as a clinician in private practice and academic. -J
