There are many psychology therapists and experts who believe and have found that even though recovery from narcissism is a difficult process, as with other personality disorders, it is mainly something that is learned; it is not inherent. And that the behaviors and coping defenses of narcissism that have been learned can thus be unlearned. This gives hope to anyone who wants to continue in a relationship with a narcissist, or who wants to change narcissistic tendencies he may see in himself.
