Ever dated a really, really sh*t, mean, hurtful, poorly communicative or downright disrespectful person? Us too - but today, so many people throw the term ‘narcissist’ around so much that it seems like those with Narcissist Personality Disorder are around every corner. The truth? Experts estimate that up actually only around 5% of people have Narcissist Personality Disorder - and a lot of people are not actually suffering from the personality disorder that we tell everyone they are. So, why are we pathologizing this so much? 

Is every relationship with a narcissist a trauma bond?

Is an angry person always a narcissist?

In today’s episode, Louise and clinical psychologist Dr Tari Mack help you understand the difference between someone with some negative personality traits or damaging, disrespectful & destructive learned behavior / coping mechanisms vs. being able to actually identify those with a narcissist personality. The two look at:

⇢ What narcissism is

⇢ How it starts

⇢ Can you get rid of it

⇢ The 3 different types of narcissism

⇢ How we mistreat it

⇢ How we enable it

⇢ What it gets confused with, and more. 

Louise Rumball & clinical psychologist Dr Tari Mack look at: 

⇢ What is really beneath narcissism; 

⇢ What traits do people cover it with; 

⇢ The 3 different types of narcissist;

⇢ How obsessively taking instagram photos might come onto that continuum;

⇢ How it develops, and why; 

⇢ Whether you can ever change a narc;

⇢ Or whether a narc is ever likely to commit to changing themselves; and more.
