Chuck DeGroat: Who You're Becoming (S15E24)

Dr. Lee Warren interviews therapist and author Dr. Chuck DeGroat about deep, lasting identity-level transformation and DeGroat’s new book, "Who You Are Becoming: The Slow and Courageous Work of Cultivating Character in a Narcissistic Age." They clarify how “narcissism” is often overused, describe it as a spectrum that can include narcissistic personality disorder, and discuss defensiveness as a nervous-system survival strategy that requires safety, accountability, and time to reshape. The conversation explores cultural pressures toward performance, platform, instant maturity, and social-media mirroring, contrasting them with integrity, compassion, and becoming the beloved. DeGroat connects ancient Christian wisdom (Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Brueggemann’s orientation/disorientation/reorientation) with contemporary neuroscience to describe the path from fragmentation to wholeness through slow, courageous, grace-filled inner work.
