You're in a state of this disorder, period.

Now, is narcissism in a state of flux as well?

Yeah, we had a narcissist expert and she said exactly that.

There's one of the rarest cases to come seek treatment.

Understand it correctly from the expert we had on.

It's like you don't suffer from narcissism the way you suffer from some other personality.

Yeah, so what are the symptoms of borderline personality disorder?

What I like about...

There's lots of excerpts of dialogue between you and patients.

And I don't know why, but I'm blown away with how intelligent some of the patients are and how articulate.

And some of them are downright confrontational with you, which I think is so brave and cool.

I think there's something about the dynamic that makes that hard.

Yeah.

And one of your patients, a young woman, is like, you're not listening to me.

I'm not like upset with myself in this moment.

I hate myself across the board.

Right.

Like you need to fucking listen to me.

And I'm like impressed and grateful that someone would have that conviction to push back against you like that.

Well, you too are also limited by your own experience.
