In Episode #30 of the Love, Evolved podcast, I welcome on a very special guest: Dr. George Simon.  Dr. Simon is the leading expert on manipulators, narcissists and other disturbed characters, and has studied this phenomenon for over 42 years. This episode is for you if you are a kind-hearted, compassionate individual who finds yourself getting taken advantage of in relationships.  Dr. Simon and I speak about the rise of narcissism and what has contributed to this problem, what some of the common tactics that people with narcissism and other character disorders use to manipulate others, and how to protect yourself if you find that you get tangled up with these types of people.   Is the phrase, "Hurt people hurt people" always true?  And where are we with treating narcissism and character disorders today?  This episode is one of the most important ones I have recorded to date.  Please keep in touch with Dr. Simon's work below, and contact me with any comments or questions.Connect with Dr. George Simon:Website + BlogIn Sheep's ClothingCharacter DisturbanceThe Judas SyndromeHow Did We End Up Here?Essentials for the JourneyConnect with Leigh-Anne:The Empath-Narcissist TrapLeigh-Anne's InstagramI hope you enjoy this episode - please rate, review and subscribe to support the podcast.  And please share this episode with others who need to know this information.
