Narcissism, Love Bombing, Gaslighting... What Does It All Mean?

CW: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse. If you, or someone you know, is in immediate danger, call 000.

Narcissism, love bombing, and gaslighting are terms that are thrown around liberally, but what do they actually mean? And when should we start worrying about these behaviours and traits? Dr Amelia Kelley, co-author of What I Wish I Knew: Surviving and Thriving After an Abusive Relationship, joins Cam and Ali in the bathroom to offer advice from years of experience working with survivors of domestic abuse.
