Unlock the truths behind the buzzword "narcissism" with Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn.  We tackle the misconceptions that have seeped into everyday language and relationships. Discover why not every challenging partner or boss is a textbook narcissist, and learn how to differentiate between common narcissistic traits and the diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder. We promise you'll gain insights into the real DSM-5 criteria for narcissism, helping clarify who truly fits the label and who might be unfairly judged.

Our conversation takes you inside the mind of a narcissist, recounting an unforgettable prison encounter that underscores the grandiosity that these individuals often exhibit. We also disentangle narcissism from its often-confused counterpart, psychopathy, and discuss how these traits might appear in high-powered roles. By debunking social media myths, we aim to provide a more accurate picture of narcissism in various contexts, from boardrooms to personal relationships, challenging the idea that it's a male-dominated disorder.

Relationships can be tricky waters to navigate, especially when childhood traumas and cultural backgrounds play significant roles in shaping behavior and personality. Dr. Teralyn and Therapist Jenn delve into these complexities, offering a nuanced take on when to label someone a narcissist—and when to hold back. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, we explore the ethical dilemmas therapists face when diagnosing remotely, urging a more compassionate and informed approach to understanding narcissism
