Live Q & A: Trapped! The Real Reason You Can’t Walk Away

from The Narcissism Decoder · host Dr. Anthony Mazzella

 I’m really excited to share some big news with you—this Friday, March 14th, at 7 p.m. EST, I’ll be going LIVE on YouTube for a special podcast recording with Lisa Taylor Austin! We'll explore why people stay in relationships with narcissistic partners despite clear emotional turmoil. The conversation will dive into the compelling fantasy that keeps people bound to these relationships—the shared fantasy or "magical union" between the narcissist’s grandiose self and the partner’s hopes for emotional fulfillment. Please join us on utube:  https://youtube.com/live/zPOfW1JgnfU?feature=share  If you are interested in a consultation or seeking virtual therapy services, Dr. Mazzella is accepting new patients.
