While I can't comment on whether or not your therapist is a narcissist (although, from you're description, there are several DSM labels that could be attached to him
), I do agree that you are in dangerous territory.
What you've described (the obsessing with the trauma, the not sleeping, the lack of concentration), it sounds like you're stuck in an "activated" place - and that's not sustainable - something has to give.
If your therapist is unable to give you the grounding tools (or claims he already has but you're not getting it) - there are other resources out there to get these. But the important thing is, it's almost impossible to learn them while simultaneously working through the trauma itself.
I too would advise caution.
