This podcast episode covers the characteristics, causes, and symptoms of pathological narcissism, as well as strategies for protecting oneself from this personality disorder. Pathological narcissists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, lack empathy, and seek constant admiration from others. To protect oneself from a pathological narcissist, it is important to maintain emotional distance, seek professional help, and establish clear boundaries. It is also important to recognize and address one's own mental and behavioral patterns that may have contributed to entering into a relationship with a pathological narcissist. With time, commitment, and professional support, one can overcome the trauma and manipulation of a toxic relationship with a pathological narcissist and rebuild a healthy and satisfying life.
