We're often told that narcissism doesn't exist or that we've attracted these people into our lives because of our own issues. This harmful victim-shaming keeps people trapped in abusive dynamics.

In this episode, Dr Peter Salerno explains that narcissism is real and identifiable. Narcissists are invested in their image at the expense of their true self, and they intentionally seek out environments where they can exploit others.

This conversation will help you identify if you’re dealing with a narcissist, trust your body’s reaction to mistreatment, and begin to think about whether it’s a relationship you want to remain in.
