Do You Have a Pandora Problem?

Several years ago I began to learn something new about the subject of narcissism from Dr. Jim Wilder of Life Model Works. He informed me that most of us did not know what to do with the emotion of shame. I highly agreed, saw quickly that I was included there, and wanted to know more. So I listened to one of Dr. Wilder’s JIM Talks (#24 ) and was so impressed I asked him if I could transcribe it and turn it into a book. He agreed. It took me about three months to type out each sentence from the CD and edit talking into writing.  He began editing what I transcribed.

After a few chapters, Dr. Wilder became too busy to work on the manuscript, so I self-published it for myself but kept it private. I sold over thirty of that unfinished manuscript after I began to teach what was in the book. It was life-changing to me and many in my groups. The topic–dealing with narcissism–has since become a popular topic.

Finally after years of waiting, in 2019, Dr. Wilder revamped and finished the book under the title, The Pandora Problem: Facing Narcissism in Leaders and Ourselves. I was honored to write the Companion Guide workbook.

A Twelve Week Online Class on Narcissism

So why am I talking about this, you might ask? Because on March 18, 2021, I will began a twelve week online class going over the book. This will be through Deeper Walk International, the publisher of Pandora Problem. The class will include information about dealing with our own, and others’, tendencies towards narcissism. It will also include time in a break-out discussions/exercise group with other attendees.

I recommend this class because I have seen how it helps people maneuver difficult relationships if they are teachable, humble, and willing to grow. Facing narcissism in ourselves helps relationships. Attendees discover who is “my enemy” and how do I “love my enemies” as Jesus taught.  They get answers to questions such as, “What do I do when I feel shame?” “What do I do when I need to confront someone?”  What do I do when someone confronts me?” Understanding brain science and practicing relational skills help answer these kinds of questions. Being in a group with others builds capacity to face every-day difficulties.

This will be my third time leading this class. It would be great to see you there.
