How to Extinguish Narcissist’s Rage
Sam Vaknin, discusses the nature of malignant narcissistic rage, emphasizing its self-reinforcing, internal origin and disconnect from external reality or fault. He presents two methods to cope with such rage: careful submission that focuses on flattery and amends centered around the narcissist, and mirroring the rage back to a bullying narcissist without escalating to real-life consequences. Caution is stressed, especially with psychopathic narcissists, where mirroring can provoke violence, highlighting the complexity and danger in managing narcissistic rage.
