Same Sex Attraction and the Narcissistic Family System

This presentation explores the impact of narcissistic family dynamics on identity development, attachment, and psychological wellbeing, with particular consideration of their potential relationship to same-sex attraction. Drawing on family systems and attachment theories, Christiana examines the influence of triangulation, enmeshment, coercive control, and projection. Through clinical illustration, the session considers therapeutic implications and opportunities for healing, concluding with reflections on spiritual integration within a Christian framework. Christiana also shares her own 'Better Man Theory' as a potential for deeper consideration. The presentation is intended to encourage clinical reflection, professional dialogue, and further research.
