Narcissism is a diagnosable personality disorder that we identify as being on the extreme end of the wounded masculine energy spectrum. The term gets used often in the online space and in this episode, we share the criteria that distinguish the disorder from WM energy or narcissistic traits (which are also painful in relationship dynamics) vs empowered masculine energy so you can have greater awareness- and discernment- as you move into more intimate connections.
