“Remind yourself that breath-holding spells are not hurting the child and that the child will grow out of them in time”
The ferocity of narcissistic rage
Is in direct proportion to the distance between
The depths of their contempt
And the heights of their self-regard
Healing for the narcissist will only occur
Once they realize that imagining themselves better than others
And acting on it
Is like believing the in-breath superior to the out-breath
And choosing to eliminate the out-breath altogether
In order to restore a sense of control
It may not be in this lifetime
But the narcissist will come to see that
Breathing is inevitable
Right up until the mother of all denied inevitability–
Death
