Narcissistic people know exactly where to poke and bait to get a reaction. And when you don’t respond, they escalate, going after what matters most to you. Once you react, they flip the script, making you seem like the problem. This is how gaslighting works, keeping you off balance and questioning yourself.
In this week's episode, clinical psychologist and narcissism expert Dr. Ramani Durvasula joins me to break down how to recognize, resist, and recover from narcissistic relationships. We explore the spectrum of narcissistic behaviors, what makes these dynamics so confusing, and how to protect yourself.
