This is a fascinating talk. I think that the whole miracle of Jesus however is that when Jesus is in us, there is a new being, no narcissism remains not because I've done anything but because God has changed the human being completely.

I just purchased Darrell Puls' e-book "Let us Prey." I have lived with my pastor husband for 31 years... have I got a story for you!

Thanks for sharing!

Good interview!

Love this! Caveat to those seeking "Christian" counseling, it really doesn't matter if it is faith-based or not. You matter. If your counselor doesn't have a priority of you being safe, being treated with respect and especially being treated respectful in front of your children, drop them! I have to have faith, I just have to. Even though I was an unwed mother and the Christian communities I was seeking to belong rejected me until I married (a narcissist), when my son was five. When things went really bad really quick, I was told by my Christian counselor some bad messages: 1) It's not about you, it's about your child. Sort of true but sort of not. Just because my son's dad wasn't around didn't mean I deserved to be so disrespected in front of him, and eventually by him; 2) meet him (my husband) at his crazy...no. Him accusing me of "crazy" things like cheating, hoarding/hiding money, etc. were all really out there accusations. You should not ever have to sink to that level; 3) try not to say things that make him mad, and 4) he isn't the enemy. He was. He had promised to adopt my son, but then after we got married, it was clear that this was just one of oodles of lies that I had to tolerate. Truly, I don't oppose faith-based counseling, but I just want you all to be safe. I spent too many years trying to appease faith-based people, who I now know did not have good intentions. It turned out the son of my counselor's business partner was the dad of a bully at school. It appeared that our dirty secrets were shared, not in confidence. It was a detriment to me, my son and our lives. Who you choose as a counselor matters! I still have broken pieces of faith left, but I have to have them, I have to believe that goodness and justice is out there (it is), I just had to wise up to my responses to God's self appointed "fruit inspectors."
