I differ from your notion (as a well-trained and practiced psychologist myself, retired after 38 years, and specializing in relationships for 20 years or so) that we would “have healing and toxic relationships all figured out,” as I think that thinking we’ve got something all figured out is likely a danger sign (as opposed to feeling confident yet still open to continued learning).
As for what you think is implied, one could think about something for a long time simply because it continues to present itself in one’s practice, without implying anything about their history or personal healing. It could relate to a therapist or teacher continuing to search for new or better ways to effectively reach and help people in need. Certainly what you postulate could be the case, but I would not assume it is so.
ps - my big sis - has astonishing Memories of all that happened relating to - as well as the abandonment on the island & rescue. Plus now has family Documents & Photos I tracked down & is still Publishing & adding to them. I have Zero Memories until age two/three ? .. first ‘conscious memory’ is a horse nuzzling me. My life is a Feature Film - My sister’s is about an Exemplar in that Movie. I have visual memories that defy belief - perhaps ‘hybrid’ HardWired / Environmental Stimuli.. but the net result is a HyperMedia Artist ..
dude - I’ve Produced more Accredited CME re DSM 4-5 than anyone you’ve ever met.. Persons such as you are ‘Backbone KOP’s’ to me.. as are any & every Stakeholder. The Fields of Science & Medicine are simply sectors of past Media teamwork to me. Communications & Media - Transportation - Resources - Agriculture - Environment - Culture & Technology - I’m a Disciple of Marshall McLuhan - ‘manning the outposts of Culture & Technology’ .. but realistically ? Just a single freak of nature on spaceship earth.. Serendipity plays with Happenstance within me.. & i’m just one of their messengers.. perhaps the luckiest though !
A Malignant Narcissist is currently ‘succeeding’ at becoming emplaced via Contemporary Media Coup D’Etat - as Prime Minister of the Country named Canada. ‘Capture the MEDIA & The Palace Is Yours’. It is my Belief we are Witnessing Comorbid - ‘Political’ Parasitism / Malignant Narcissism
Your insights into the complexities of relationships with narcissists and sociopaths are enlightening. You rightly point out that while personal healing is important, we must also be aware of external threats. Recognizing and distancing oneself from toxic influences is crucial, regardless of one's psychological health. This balanced understanding of internal vulnerabilities and external dangers is essential for healthier relationships and overall well-being.
Much food for thought here! I think that, first and foremost, the first line of defense for the general public is to learn to recognize (and ideally deflect) these aliens that walk among us.
But romantic entanglements are much more complicated. I, personally, became enmeshed in one (or two) of these. I sought to understand how I -an educated person who’s a good judge of character- and who has a lot of street in me - could fall prey. Then someone told me this: another woman, who was raised with a strong sense of self, who had male role models who instilled in her an uncompromising sense of confidence and self-worth- would have rejected this person outright- they would have shown no interest whatsoever. And it hit me: there was something inherent in my makeup that screamed “target” to these types and, conversely, some glitch in my character that led me to embrace these types rather than heading for the hills- as my instincts SHOULD have told me to do.
.. guess they never expected nobody like me

Malignant narcissism pairs well with toxic masculinity.
✨Excellent work, Sam !
