HPD Part 2: The Comorbid Histrionic

Defeating Childhood Trauma

1) Sharing the two comments I received from last week's episode that opened my eyes and birthed two theories as per why we haven't heard much about HPD.
2) Introducing the Appeasing vs. Disingenuous (Malignant) Histrionic and their polarities.
3) HPD + Dependent PD (Cluster C) = Appeasing
4) HPD + ASPD = Disingenuous (Malignant)
5) "Don't Panic" warnings to my Complex-PTSD community so that you don't SELF-diagnose as the Appeasing Histrionic. Addressing the differences between DPD and codependency and the self-abandonment programming in C-PTSD vs. the appeasing histrionic's brand of people-pleasing.
6) Showing examples of the appeasing histrionic in action.
7) The Disingenuous (Malignant) Histrionic compared to the Malignant Narcissist.
8) "Diagnosis whack-a-mole" How if the person you have or are dealing with is Somatic (NPD + HPD) and also meets just enough criteria (5 or more) for ASPD, some situations you will see malignant HPD behaviors and other situations will bring out their malignant NPD side.
9) Sharing my personal experiences with an old friend back in the day who was histrionic as a means of demonstrating how we don't have to box the histrionic into one comorbidity.
10) Some final insights on HPD and how and why the aging narcissist isn't the only one who suffers the collapse.
