In this episode, you will again hear a live interview I had with Tami from Ageless 50+. In this part of the interview, the focus is on dealing with individuals who exhibit narcissistic traits, particularly when they have low self-esteem. Also, through a spontaneous role play, I try to demonstrate how to talk to an angry dysregulated person in your life. The main points include the importance of helping such individuals become aware of their reactions and responses without inflaming the situation. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of not labeling or blaming the angry or dysregulated other. The episode offers practical insights and techniques for maintaining a compassionate and non-reactive approach in challenging relationships.
