Episode notes

Anxious attachment is when a person looks externally for someone else to show them that they are worthy because they've not been shown that as a child. So people who are anxiously attached are anxiously avoiding people less likely to get a touch to narcissist. I went on dating websites after a couple of years and I still was attracting some narcissists into my life. That's when again, when I thought just time and talking would actually help me heal, I didn't realize then that's why I've totally retrained. The barriers were off. It's like, yeah, you're not getting near me. Thank you very much.

Trauma therapist (and survivor of marriage to a narcissist) Caroline Strawson joins us to discuss: how to know if someone’s really a narcissist; how to know if you’re more likely to get into a relationship with a narcissist (and avoid it); strategies for parallel parenting with a narcissist; how the brain and body respond to narcissists; and how to rebuild after ending a relationship with a narcissist.
