38: Stop Calling Everyone a Narcissist with Britt Frank


Listen Later

Tired of hearing everyone labeled a "narcissist"? In this episode with therapist Britt Frank, we're diving into the nuanced reality of narcissism and why this term is both overused and misunderstood.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why labeling everyone a "narcissist" gives too many people too much credit

* The key difference between narcissism, being narcissistic, and actually having NPD

* The "Narcissist Relationship Matrix" - how narcissists create distinct categories for people in their lives

* Why confusion is the #1 sign you might be dealing with narcissism

* The difference between lying and gaslighting

* Why narcissists never truly discard their "primary source of supply"

* The empowering truth: rather than asking "why did they do that?" ask "what am I tolerating?"

Britt Frank, MSW, LSCSW, SEP, is a clinician, educator, and trauma specialist. She is the author of the bestselling book, “The Science of Stuck.” GET HER NEW BOOK , available for preorder, “Align Your Mind” anywhere you get books.
