In this episode of Recovery for the Narcissist, Dr. Eric Perry explores the difficulty and importance of asking for help, especially for those with narcissistic tendencies. Often, past experiences teach us to rely solely on ourselves, leading to fear and discomfort when seeking support.

Dr. Perry discusses how fear of rejection and vulnerability can prevent us from asking for help. He emphasizes that vulnerability is a strength and an opportunity to connect with others. By reframing our understanding of vulnerability and learning to trust ourselves in choosing who to ask for help, we can break the cycle of self-reliance.
