In this episode of Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey, we explore the difference between narcissistic traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder — and why this distinction matters in understanding behavior, trauma, and personal growth.
My guest is Paul Noiles — trauma and addiction specialist, author of Mistaken Identity, and founder of the Mistaken Identity Model. With over 20 years of experience in trauma recovery, Paul guides us through the ways early childhood experiences can create a mistaken identity, leading to coping mechanisms like codependency, addiction, or self-sabotaging patterns.
Together, we dive deep into:
- Understanding narcissistic traits versus disorder
- How trauma shapes identity and behavior
- The Mistaken Identity Model and pathways to healing
- Practical ways to reclaim your authentic self
Whether you’re curious about healing relationships, understanding yourself, or exploring the roots of human behavior, this conversation offers compassion, insight, and actionable awareness
