12 | Kerry Emanuel | Narcissism, Toxic Relationships, Empowering

In this episode of Telos, I sit down with Kerry for a thoughtful conversation on narcissism, relationships, and self-trust.Kerry is an informed and educated empath who works closely with people struggling in relationships where narcissistic traits may be present. Together, we explore what narcissism actually is, why the term is often over-used, the difference between traits and patterns, and how people can protect their mental and emotional wellbeing without rushing to labels.We also discuss why so many people worry they might be the narcissist themselves, the impact of gaslighting and lack of accountability, and how to rebuild clarity and self-trust after prolonged confusion in relationships.A calm, nuanced conversation focused on understanding, boundaries, and personal responsibility — not diagnosis.
