Have you read about "narcissistic injury"? It's not related to narcissistic personality disorder. It could be used to describe what happened to you as a result of your T's "joke" at your expense, and the rough teasing you endured as a child. I think this is the kind of info T's should be more forthcoming with. I know that just reading about Narc. Injury isn't going to cure it, but for the client to understand the concepts and see examples and be able to say, yes this happened to me, too - instead of this DATA just being in the T's head, like they're going to say some voodoo words and cure it in you. NOT. WTF. T's are not very good at sharing! It's not IN their job description, and IMO it's why therapy so often doesn't work. But I don't really know a practical way to fix it. Unless they start handing out little pamphlets like they do at other doctors - "All about your hemorrhoids" "All about your sibling rivalry". idk not that easy, different schools of thought, etc.
