How do you know when you're working for a narcissist? In this episode of Narcissism At Work, host Leyya and clinical psychologist Dr. Daksha unpack the subtle, and not-so-subtle, signs of narcissistic behaviour in professional settings. From love bombing to identity theft, we explore the mirroring tactics narcissists use to draw people in, disarm them, and gain their trust. We also dig into how these behaviours escalate over time, impacting your confidence, decision-making, and workplace wellbeing.

What we cover:

• How narcissists "mirror" your identity and values to create false trust
• Why early admiration can quickly turn into control
• What to look out for in narcissistic bosses, colleagues, or clients
• How gaslighting shows up at work 
• The psychological toll of long-term manipulation and confusion
• The emotional cost of staying silent or second-guessing your reality

Dr. Daksha explains:

• The impact of narcissistic behaviour on your nervous system
• How cognitive dissonance and denial keep people stuck
• Why many survivors experience trauma symptoms long after the narcissist is gone

Plus:

• Real-life scenarios of narcissistic dynamics at work
• Practical tips to spot the red flags and protect yourself
• A reminder that you’re not imagining it and you’re not alone
