Thrive Girls Ranch & Home understands that you want to find help for your struggling teen girl who may be suffering with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. We provide therapy for girls like her at our affordable, specialized boarding school, set in a safe, positive and structured environment near Austin, Texas.
What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
We will help your daughter with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a learned behavior disorder in which she is exceptionally self-absorbed and shows tremendous conceit. As a Narcissist, she believes she is exceptional and unique, and may well be self-centered and condescending toward others, acting as if no one else is on a level to be able to understand her.
Diagnosis for NPD (also called Narcissism) includes many of these symptoms: a grandiose sense of self import, complete lack of compassion, takes advantage of others, has an unwarranted expectation of especially favorable treatment, requires excessive admiration, is absorbed with fantasies of ideal love, or limitless success, beauty or power.
Helping Girls with Narcissistic Personality Disorder
If not treated, her complications may go beyond problems at school and with relationships, to include depression, misbehavior, and even suicidal thoughts.
Schema therapy (a combination of elements from cognitive, behavioral and gestalt therapy along with object relations’ treatment) is one of the more effective treatments. A main purpose of this therapy would be to diminish your daughter’s insistence that others see her as she wishes to be seen and adapts instead to reality.
In serious cases, she can be controlling and self-absorbed, even intolerant and judgmental of the therapist’s thoughts.
Your Teen Girl Can Change and Thrive
Thrive Girls Ranch & Home offers life transformation to girls who struggle with life-controlling and self-destructive behaviors or attitudes like Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
