I don't really know. I went home the other night, and re-read all the codep lit that I could handle. My T, mentioned going back from step one with introspection (didn't mention any disorders or this, but) because I brought up my love life after telling of 'unsolicited' positive feedback at work. And T mentioned low self esteem, when I mentioned a former relationship I'd had((when I was what, 16-22??))..
Sooo, getting to the point. I reviewed all this codep stuff online and it broached codep as manipulative and narcissistic. I was floored.
I just looked into hypervigilant narcissistic traits. Realized that the DSM-V has broken NPD into subsets. Hypervigilant sounds like what it used to mean to be codep, but one needs to also meet dependent pd criteria(is that even there, anymore?))
Alas, is it a coding technique?? I don't know, I just am wondering outloud.
Hypervigilant would be covert narcissistic. In contrast to overt with grandiose views...
Maybe someone else knows more and hasn't seen this thread, yet?
