I've talked to some therapists who seem to have NPD. I get a feeling from them that our sessions are more about them proving there expertise in human behavior than really getting to know ME and my issues. This doesn't mean they can't help me but it does provide a barrier to the whole process as their egos get in the way of my treatment plan. I've also met therapists who didn't seem to have NPD, who seemed to really care about me and my progress. I've been told I don't have to talk about trauma until I'm ready and I've taken that to heart. Perhaps you could work on goals until you feel comfortable enough to open up. It takes some time to get comfortable enough with someone to open up. Allow yourself some time....no need to rush right in as that can backfire. Good luck.
