What are the signs of a narcissistic relationship? Can you spot a narcissist right away? On today's episode I'm joined by clinical psychologist and expert on narcissism, Dr. Jaime Zukerman. Dr. Z breaks down for Bedside what narcissism actually means and how we can go about identifying narcissistic relationships. Together we explore the behaviors of narcissists, the origins of narcissism, and the cycle of narcissistic behavior. Hint: there's a "Blueprint" that Dr. Z explains every single narcissist follows. On this episode we also cover red flags for identifying toxic relationships, and how if you are in a narcissistic relationship what the best exit and support strategy looks like. 

On this episode we cover:

• What is narcissism actually??
