Why do narcissists so often get what they want? Maybe because they know the answer to this question.

Knowing the question doesn't mean the answer is easy, or self evident. But not asking the question means you probably don't have the answer. Not only will it be easier for people to abuse you, you'll be MUCH less likely to be happy.

Big question! Should you forgive a narcissist? Is it even possible to forgive a toxic person? And if it is, is it desirable or necessary?

In this conversation with Joshua Goldberg, we start by asking "what do we mean by forgiveness"?

In this conversation with Joshua Goldberg, we start by asking "what do we mean by forgiveness"?

It is an often misunderstood word. Does it mean "pretend nothing happened" or "give the person another chance"? Or does it mean something else altogether?

The first time we encounter narcissistic rage, it can be terrifying and extremely uncomfortable. But once we recognise it, it loses a lot of its power. It can be easy to spend time reviewing events wondering if, perhaps, the other person had a point and we did something that warranted this stream of abuse. In this episode I take one specific example and analyse it for your benefit. I give an overview of the context, I run through the events as descriptively as possible, explain my mindset and try to understand the other person’s convoluted logic. Do you think they were reasonable? How would you have reacted?

Some ideas are particularly bad and unhelpful, and yield disastrous results. A few of them are quite as bad as the idea of labelling people as good or bad people, instead of observing their behaviours. By labelling people, we become blinded to facts and take sides. Those who want us to think this way are trying to control us, whether they realise it or not. Avoid this blindspot and listen to this episode, as I walk you through a forest.
