This paper identifies a manifestation of traumatic shame - a state impelling the schizoid individual to relinquish all sense of self. Schizoid shame, defined as the urge to self-erase, is an outgrowth of Green's (2002) negative narcissism. The author asserts that schizoid shame stems from childhood exposure to severe parental narcissism. For the malignantly narcissistic parent, a child with no needs is the perfect child. The author asserts that such a child will subsequently grow up unconsciously conflating perfection with no-oneness, suffering a shameful sense of failure whenever the desire to self-express arises. Schizoid shame is illustrated in two cases as a form of magical thinking (Ogden, 2010) that blocked both patients from consciously experiencing their deeper shame, as well as blocking the author's analytic reverie. When the author was able to perceive each patient's unconscious goal of being no-one, the spell of the negative was broken and reverie began to flow.
