Narcissistic vs. Borderline Rage: What’s the Real Difference? | Epi 127

In this behind-the-scenes episode, we delve into the complexities of narcissistic and borderline personalities, focusing on the inner emotional worlds of these individuals. Key concepts are reviewed, and then we turn our focus to the differences between borderline and narcissistic rage. The discussion highlights the functions of anger and hatred, emphasizing their roles in emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships. We also explore practical strategies for managing intense emotions, particularly in the context of “rejection sensitivity” and emotional dysregulation.
