You might be with a Narcissist if...
Episode description
The term “narcissist” has been tossed around to describe selfish behavior or frustrations with relationships, but someone with a true Naricissitic Personality Disorder can wreak havoc on the lives of others. Join us for a deep conversation with my friend, Life Coach, Yoga Instructor, Emily Elliot.
Although, this may not resonate with you, you may have a friend in need of support. Learn the signs of what a narcissist looks like and the resources you have to help guide you.
***DISCLAIMER: Thankfully we have a wealth of resources, but ALWAYS seek out a therapist on psychologytoday.com or betterhelp.com for professional support first. This was an experience that we recap and there are a million different ways this can show up and play out with other people.
