Narcissism and Childhood Trauma — Unmasking the Connection

Narcissism and Childhood Trauma in India — Unmasking the Connection There is very little work done on Narcissism and childhood trauma in India. This article provides some details on this. Key takeaways Narcissism exists on a spectrum — from normal self-confidence to a clinical personality disorder Two types — grandiose and vulnerable — have genuinely different developmental origins Childhood adversity (ACEs), especially emotional neglect, strongly predicts vulnerable narcissism Narcissism frequently overlaps with anxiety, depression, CPTSD, and BPD — yet very few people seek help because of this overlap Treating narcissism without addressing its childhood origins is like treating a wound

Trivedi Depression Pathways™: A Trauma-Informed Model for Recurring Depression

Trivedi Depression Pathways™: A Trauma-Informed Model for Recurring Depression Depression isn’t one illness. It’s many doorways into the same room — and each one needs a different key. Why "just depression" is rarely just depression For decades, depression has been talked about as one thing — usually framed as a chemical imbalance, usually treated with one class of medication. That framing has helped many people. But it has also left many others wondering why the standard approach hasn't been enough, or why their depression keeps returning even after "successful" treatment. Part of the reason is that depression rarely arrives alone.

Positive Childhood Experiences May Strengthen Adult Resilience After Childhood Trauma

Positive Childhood Experiences May Strengthen Adult Resilience After Childhood Trauma Our newly published study by Dr Gunjan Y. Trivedi (Wellness Space), published in the journal Acta Psychologica, highlights an important insight in mental health research: Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) may strengthen adult resilience, even among individuals exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The study examined how both positive and adverse childhood experiences (for more details, click on childhood trauma research in India) are associated with psychological resilience among Indian adults (N = 347).

Trivedi FLIP Model™- A Body-First Approach to Trauma Recovery

Trivedi FLIP Model™- A Body-First Approach to Trauma Recovery From "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?" — the single shift that changes everything. The Trivedi FLIP Model™ is a body-first trauma recovery framework that reverses the conventional therapy sequence — beginning with physiology, not thoughts — to help people move from self-blame to self-understanding. The idea is based on the Pancha Kosha Trauma Framework™ developed by Dr Gunjan Y Trivedi. It integrates a model-science perspective, ancient yogic concepts (based on Pranayama), and clinical experience with self-regulation for trauma recovery.  Why most trauma therapy starts in the wrong

Pancha Kosha Trauma Framework™: 5-layer approach to trauma recovery

Pancha Kosha Trauma Framework™: 5-layer approach to trauma recovery Trauma doesn’t live in just one place. Neither does recovery. Pancha Kosha Trauma Framework™ is a Pancha Kosha–informed approach that conceptualises trauma and recovery as layered processes across body, energy, mind, insight, and inner well-being, enabling structured understanding and intervention. Why one layer is never enough Most contemporary trauma frameworks stop at one or two layers — the cognitive, sometimes the behavioural, occasionally the nervous system. But anyone who has lived with trauma knows better. Trauma does not stay neatly confined to a single part of you. It surfaces in the
