Lifestyle Modification

One of the most important steps in the treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is lifestyle modification. Patients with NSD need to be “trained” or “encoded” to perform positive habits as part of their treatment in order for them to be able to cope better with their condition. These newer, more positive habits serve to prevent their old, destructive, narcissistic habits from resurfacing. Lifestyle modification also aims to program more desirable patterns into the patients’ psyche through repetition. By repeating the new mechanisms over and over, the older, narcissistic brain connections become weaker, allowing patients to shift away from them as time goes by.
Lifestyle modification also prevents patients from bad stimuli that can have negative effects on their progress. By keeping away reckless behavior, patients are prevented from going back to their old narcissistic ways.
