In this conversation, I sit down with Rebecca Zung, an expert in negotiating with narcissists. We discuss the complexities of negotiation when dealing with individuals who exhibit narcissistic traits. She emphasizes the importance of emotional regulation, understanding the dynamics of narcissistic behavior, and the need for strategic documentation to leverage situations effectively. The discussion also introduces the SLAY method, which stands for Strategy, Leverage, Anticipate, and You, as a framework for successful negotiation. Through real-life examples and practical advice, Rebecca provides insights into how to navigate challenging relationships with narcissists.

For a deeper dive into narcissism, I now offer courses approved for continuing education credits, available [here]. As a NYS Education Department-approved provider (#SW-0211), licensed social workers in New York can earn credits through these programs. Also, these courses are a wonderful opportunity for those who may simply want to further educate themselves on all issues related to narcissistic and personality disorder dynamics.
