Dr. Professor Sam Vaknin w/ a bell is a whole vibe. 🔔🔔 🔔

Good morning Professor Vaknin, the greatest psychologist who ever is you of course 💁‍♀️

Ah...absence maketh the heart grow fonder. So happy to see you making a new video again. 😊

Yes, LOVE Doestoevesky. Everything he wrote, but Brothers Karamazov is the Greatest novel in my estimation ever written.

Insightful and powerful. So pleased I got out as quickly as I did. I guess that's why journalling and meditation helps us help. We are releasing the junk in our heads.

Sam Vaknin was my 1st choice

You’re the best profesor of our times. Thank you for sharing the knowledge :)

Glad you’re back!

Super insightful and refreshing! Glad to have you back.

Hi Sam, Your videos are always excellent! Thank you!

Professor Vaknin., Thank you.

Hey! Now i want red wine 😅

I love your introductions! I love that you have that bell. I love Dostoyevsky. I love Professor Vaknin.

Phew! You are back! It made my day to see that you posted a new vid. :)

This is why people can't lose weight on a "diet." We are trying to avoid eating bad food but the first thing we do when we have a trigger is think about bad food - and go eat it

You are a blessing . just brilliant .

Love you professor Vaknin, thank you for sharing your knowledge

Welcome back dear Dr Vaknin :) I will read polar bears revisited, that was really funny! I wish you a nice weekend

I love your brain

You are the best, thank you very much .

Wow, that's incredible. I was in that dance. Thankyou.

OMG I needed to hear this today so bad !!! 🙌My monkey mind form narc abuse! More you resist more you think...So make sense! BTW Is critical inner voice is the same thing???🤔

Prof Vaknin, thank you for your insightful videos. I'm just wondering if laughter would work to defeat the intrusive thoughts? If instead of trying to suppress the thoughts the person would just try to laugh at the thoughts maybe this would minimise them and then then would eventually go away. The reason I'm suggesting this is that this worked for me. I don't have NPD or any other disorder but did have a year of intrusive thoughts and this got rid of them. I couple of times the monitor did kick in again and they started back up but every time they did I would just laugh at them like a comedian would and gradually over time they just completely went away. Once I decided not to panic about having them and decidedly to live my my life as if I didn't have them (and keep laughing & poking fun at them) they eventually went away. After defeating them a number of times the monitor went away as I knew that if they came back I could just defeat them again with laughter. Acceptance was another part of getting rid of them. I just decided to acccept that I may have them for the rest of my life but that I would live my life as if I didn't and cope with them by using laughter.

So we should stop trying to suppress forbidden thoughts, but embrace them and deal with them one at a time?

Wow. So I like the last projection. Ah this helps with the awareness of childhood plants. Or inserted control bells within so many systems. So how does this manifest within remembrance of institional aspects in awareness? Do they teach these practices to teachers?

the more your suppress, the bigger it comes back

What's the best way to get access to a neuropsychologist or qualified psychologist for assessment? In Canada, getting proper therapy and coverage is predicated on a clinical diagnosis.

Oh, oh, don't tell me, it's you, the answer to the riddle is you! Edit: ah, you got me on that one!

i tried to think of a brown bear instead as a trick but it didnt work

I instantly knew the answer was going to be Fyodor Dostoyevsky

What about person who doesn’t act in abusive way and is able to discuss possible of diagnosis and interventions?? Does that person have milder form of disorder with chance symptom management?
