Cold Therapy and Narcissistic Disorders of the Self

ECO

The Narcissist reflects light back at his followers, showing narcissist just how they will become, if they cannot change. He has, in fact, changed himself; his persona is nothing more than an Artificial Identity.

The Narcissist was responsible for the creation, and application, of Cold Therapy upon Fodder. Succinctly, Cold Therapy is:

Cold therapy is based on two premises: (1) That narcissistic disorders are actually forms of complex post-traumatic conditions and (2) That narcissists are the outcomes of arrested development and attachment dysfunctions. Consequently, cold therapy borrows techniques from child psychology and from treatment modalities used to deal with PTSD. Cold therapy consists of the re-traumatization of the narcissistic client in a hostile, non-holding environment which resembles the ambience of the original trauma. The adult patient successfully tackles this second round of hurt and thus resolves early childhood conflicts and achieves closure rendering his now maladaptive narcissistic defenses redundant, unnecessary, and obsolete. Cold therapy makes use of proprietary techniques such as erasure (suppressing the client’s speech and free expression and gaining clinical information and insights from his reactions to being so stifled). Other techniques include: Grandiosity reframing, guided imagery, negative iteration, other-scoring, happiness map, mirroring, escalation, role play, assimilative confabulation, hyper-vigilant referencing and re-parenting.

ECHO

Hope there’s a reason

For questions unanswered

I just don’t see everything

Yes, I’m inside you

Tell me how does it feel

To feel like this

Just like I do
