Narcissistic Relationships & Healing

In the last episode, I discussed narcissistic personality disorder - traits, seeming causes, prognosis, and course.  

In this episode, I’ll discuss:

* the more nuanced understanding of narcissism in our culture

* the experience of those hurt in narcissistic relationships, and

* tools for self-preservation and healing 

This topic is particularly important for those of us who are highly sensitive and more permeable to the energies of others. But anyone can be vulnerable to another's masterful self-serving behaviors. This could be in workplace settings, communities, friendships, and romantic relationships.

Unless we think like narcissists (which most of us don’t), it is difficult to imagine such self-serving motivations. That lack of imagination, however, can get us into trouble.
