Episode 11: What Narcissists Misunderstand About Love

Welcome to Mad.In.Love! Today we will be discussing what narcissists misunderstand about love and joining me for this conversation is Dr. Les Carter, a therapist who specializes in anger management and narcissistic personality disorder, and host of the Surviving Narcissism podcast.Join us as we dive into the topic of narcissists and love – is it even possible for these two things to coincide? If you were to ask a narcissist if they love their spouse, partner, child, parent, etc. they would answer “yes, of course!” but is their idea of love really love, or is it their own twisted idea of love? A narcissist’s idea of love revolves around being thought of highly, anything that makes them feel good, and having agreement and conformity.  None of these things have anything to do with real love.  We’ll talk about the 5 levels of relationship and what healthy love looks like.Surviving Narcissism with Dr. Les Carter Founded by Dr. David Hawkins, the Marriage Recovery Center is the leading authority on the treatment of narcissistic and emotional abuse.
