The Truth About Narcissism, Safety, and the Relationships You Choose

Everyone throws around the word "narcissist"… but most people don't actually understand what it means—or why they keep ending up in the same patterns. In this episode, we sit down with marriage and relationship therapist Aubrey Perez to break it all down. We get into the different types of narcissism, what's actually happening underneath those behaviors, and how it shows up in real relationships. But more importantly, we talk about YOU—your triggers, your patterns, and the unconscious ways you might be recreating the same dynamic over and over again. We also dive into what it really means to create safety in a relationship (and no, it's not just about finding the "right" partner), how to identify your core values, and how to stop abandoning yourself in the process of trying to be loved. If you've ever questioned your relationship, your standards, or why you keep attracting the same kind of person—this episode will hit. This isn't about blaming them. It's about understanding you… so you can finally choose differently.   Find Aubrey here: Instagram: @amptherapyforyou TikTok: @amptherapy4u   Reach out to us on Social Media!
