Narcissism is a hot topic lately. It seems like every day I hear someone bringing it up: wondering if someone they know might be a narcissist, and if so, what to do: How should they interact, do they need to cut that person out completely, is there any hope for them to grow and change, how can they set boundaries with the narcissist. Some also wonder if perhaps THEY could be the narcissist=, because they do some narcissistic things at times. in this episode, I'll share my perspective on narcissism, which is a bit different than what you'll hear from most people. I'll talk about: - narcissistic personality disorder vs narcissistic traits- the link between emotional immaturity and narcissism- how all humans are emotionally immature at times, so we have to de-shame it- why focusing on whether THEY are a narcissist is not very useful (even if true)- What I recommend you focus on instead. Once you understand these concepts, it becomes so much easier and less dramatic to interact w the (potential) narcissists in your life. You'll waste less energy on being annoyed or trying to get them to change. This will free up more energy to understand YOURSELF better. To choose if you want to stay in a relationship wtih them or not. To set boundaries & stick to them calmly. From a place of love rather than shame & judgment.. And that shift will have you feeling better. No matter what they do. ________And if you want more simple yet powerful mindset shifts like this, you've gotta join me for my FREE webinar next week!
