Your conscience is that inner voice reflecting your values and morality.  Ideally it would be developed in the context of empathy and respect.  Narcissists, however, tend to lean toward one extreme or another regarding matters of the conscience.  They can be very rigid or they can be very loose.  Either way, relationships suffer.  Dr. Les Carter will break this down for you in this challenging topic.

Initially when you encounter a covert narcissist, you can be impressed by their seeming normalcy or charm. Living behind the veneer of the False Self, they have learned how to play the game of looking nice. But over time, one trait keeps showing up that alerts you to something more sinister. Being defined by selfishness and control, this pattern will let you know that you are in the presence of an unhealthy person.

Narcissists are threatened by you being distinctly you.  This means they predictably use distorted thinking when you declare that you deserve respect, that you should be able to follow your own plans.  Our guest, Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, explains how essential it is to know the intentions of narcissists as you then determine inwardly how you will proceed with your plans, with or without the narcissist's consent.

You can learn more about Dr. Zuckerman on her website: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/.

Many narcissists make it their task to establish dominance and power.  Dr. Les Carter explains, though, that such an effort is driven by many unresolved issues they don't want to reveal.  Even when they refuse to come to terms with who they really are, you can learn to see through their facade, determining to respond with a very different mindset.
