And just for the record, so people know some of my credentials on the subject:
1) I went to four years of seminary which included many classes on counseling and this specific subject (narcissism is specifically a more prominent issue among pastors and congregations).
2) I have spent years in counseling.
3) I have spent a decade plus doing counseling.
4) I have intimate personal experience with at least three diagnose-able narcissists.
5) I have been in an intimate but non-sexual relationship where I was gaslighted so well for 5 years that I basically had no idea what was going on until the relationship ended in a ball of fire.
