Narcissists manipulate others using toxic ideas. In this podcast, we decode narcissists and how they operate, we expose and deconstruct toxic ideas, and we learn how to negotiate effectively with narcissists. And, last but not least, we learn to break the toxic patterns during and after relationships, disinfect mental wounds and heal, so we can have a happy life afterwards and limit the damage narcissists inflict upon us.

Be it with narcissists (or other people), this common mistake makes us more vulnerable to being easily manipulated. But once we're aware of it, it's much easier to avoid making it - even though it may be uncomfortable. But what is the alternative? More pain and manipulation?
Note: the dialogue is intended to provide a tool to help you GET OUT of a non-sensical argument with a narcissist. It isn't recommending you start arguing with one (or recommending much else). The goal is to help you break the "spell" they might be holding over you by making their problems your problems through faulty logic. Once the spell is broken, it no longer works.

Why do narcissists so often get what they want? Maybe because they know the answer to this question. Knowing the question doesn't mean the answer is easy, or self evident.

Big question! Should you forgive a narcissist? Is it even possible to forgive a toxic person? And if it is, is it desirable or necessary? In this conversation with Joshua Goldberg, we start by asking "what do we mean by forgiveness"?
Dealing with toxic people can drive us crazy as they suck us into their insanity - however it is possible to beat them at their game. Use these five tips to keep the upper hand.

The first time we encounter narcissistic rage, it can be terrifying and extremely uncomfortable. But once we recognise it, it loses a lot of its power. It can be easy to spend time reviewing events wondering if, perhaps, the other person had a point and we did something that warranted this stream of abuse. In this episode I take one specific example and analyse it for your benefit. I give an overview of the context, I run through the events as descriptively as possible, explain my mindset and tr...
Some ideas are particularly bad and unhelpful, and yield disastrous results. A few of them are quite as bad as the idea of labelling people as good or bad people, instead of observing their behaviours. By labelling people, we become blinded to facts and take sides. Those who want us to think this way are trying to control us, whether they realise it or not. Avoid this blindspot and listen to this episode, as I walk you through a forest.
We sometimes get into arguments they don’t seem to go anywhere, it can be very frustrating. It are we sure we’re not simply wrestling with a pig who is enjoying it?
When we climb a mountain, we accept and embrace progress. But perfectionism focuses on "you're not yet at the top", making anything other than 100% a failure, regardless of progress. Perfectibility is a more helpful concept as it focuses on reducing the distance with our goal - and enjoying the process.
It is easier to establish healthy boundaries with others and respect ourselves more when we use a simple yet powerful metaphor borrowed from positive psychology. Read Jonathan Haidt's "Happiness Hypothesis" for more.
