I don't think you can, and I understand that almost all NPD sufferers abandon therapy if they do accept it initially. It's too threatening to have their 'real' self exposed to someone, or rather that terrible fear that there isn't an acceptable real person there at all. From my experience of being the child of a narcissistic mother, I would go for the therapy yourself and let them carry on blaming you and anyone else handy for their problems!

Is there a pill to ease NPD?

The answer is No, there is no medication specifically used to treat NPD. == == The question was "Is there a pill to ease NPD?" Not "How has NPD affected your life stranger? please give us a detailed personal account of your experiences." Did you ever think that perhaps the person asking might be asking for themselves? How appropriate is your response then?


Is narcissisim curable?

AnswerEveryone has narcissistic traits, and this is not always a bad thing. However, a small proportion of the population suffer from disorders such as NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder). This is, as the name suggests, when the narcissistic trait is inflated and takes up a large amount of a person's personality. NPD, through therapy, can be cured, although it may be difficult: narcissists are generally people unlikely to accept that there is anything wrong with them - I know from experience.

Does Rebirth Therapy or Reiki Healing or Johrei work for Narcissist Personality Disorder?

Absolutely not, and it is unlikely that they work for anything else, either. Most improvement due to such "alternative therapies" are due to placebo effect, and NPD is not subject to placebos.The only (sometimes) effective treatment for NPD is intensive psychotherapy, and anyone who tells you otherwise is out to get your money.


If a child of a narcissistic parent is narcissistic can they recover or are they simply narcissistic also?

If the (adult) child has been properly diagnosed with the disorder NPD, therapy can be somewhat helpful, but most narcissists refuse therapy and won't cooperate with it, because the disorder makes them believe nothing can ever be wrong with them.But there are actually 3 possible scenarios:1. The adult child may be fully NPD, and therefore, not at all likely to accept the years of professional help it would require.2. The adult child may just have a couple of NPD traits (fewer than the 5 required to be truly NPD) and might try to accept some help at some point.3. The adult child may not have any NPD traits at all, but simply has maladaptive behavior patterns that they picked up from their NPD parent. (Sometimes people call that "fleas", and it's common.)It's often said that if a person is troubled by the fact that they may be a narcissist, they're probably not a narcissist. That's because narcissists can't accept the possibility they're imperfect, or simply wouldn't care if it were true anyhow.For more about fleas, do some Googling of the word "fleas" with the word "narcissist". That will bring up some stuff to read.
