REPLAY: Chuck Degroat on the Nine Faces of Narcissism [S05-021]
STITCHER | OVERCAST | SOUNDCLOUD | SPOTIFY
We’re taking a break to be with family over the holiday yet wanted to replay two topic-based episodes that have gone over extremely well with our listeners.
Take another listen to my killer conversation with psychologist, author, and spiritual director Chuck Degroat, about the nine faces of narcissism. We’re not talking about people with full-blown narcissistic personality disorder per se. We’re talking about narcissism on a continuum and what it looks like when each Enneagram type is manifesting a narcissistic style or type. Each of us is somewhere on that narcissistic spectrum.
In this episode you’ll learn:
What narcissism actually is
How narcissism shows up in all nine types, and
What the healing path is for all nines types to keep narcissism in check.
Chuck is the Professor of Counseling and Christian Spirituality at Western Theological Seminary Holland MI, and Co-Founder and a Senior Fellow at Newbigin House of Studies, San Francisco. His latest book is, When Narcissism Comes to Church: Healing Your Community From Emotional and Spiritual Abuse. He is a licensed therapist, author, retreat leader, and spiritual director. Chuck has been married to Sara for 25 years and has two daughters.
