Emotional Abuse: Arrogance, Empathy Deficit, Immaturity
As the owner and clinical director of the Marriage Recovery Center and the Emotional Abuse Institute, he is an expert on counseling couples who are struggling through the thick of narcissistic behavior from at least one partner.
Dr. Hawkins describes the five key behaviors of abuse: an attitude of arrogance, a lack of empathy, an attitude of self-protection, profound emotional immaturity, and a lack of dedication to make a change.
He further explains that around 10 percent of the narcissist population are women and breaks down what reactive abuse can look like.
