The Waking Up to Narcissism Podcast is Coming Soon!

Waking Up to Narcissism, a podcast by Tony Overbay, a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, public speaker, and host of The Virtual Couch Podcast, is coming soon! Chances are you’ve been hearing more and more about narcissism over the past few years, and you may have the view that a narcissist is a grandiose, malicious person out for absolute power, that they are completely aware of everything that they are doing and that if you could only explain yourself or your situation better they would finally understand, that they would take ownership of their behavior and that you could live peacefully with them and your relationship would blossom. The reality is that regardless of how hard you try to communicate your frustrations, the worse the relationship gets. Because what you may actually be doing is providing the narcissist with more ammunition to use against you in the heat of battle. You're showing your narcissist your buttons, and what combination to press them to make you react in a way that leaves you feeling crazy. Are you familiar with gaslighting, trauma bonding, and narcissistic sequestering of friends and family? Are you always wrong, do you find yourself in situations where you feel like a buffer between your kids and your spouse? Do you have to "read the room" to see what kind of mood your partner is in before bringing up topics because you're never quite sure what response you're going to get? Waking Up to Narcissism will cover a variety of topics to help enlighten, and uplift people who find themselves in relationships with narcissistic individuals as well as interview people who are currently in relationships with narcissists or who have successfully exited narcissistic relationships.
