Episode notes

Narcissists can never be held responsible for anything. They have a false sense of self, it's protector parts. What you want is ideally a self-to-self relationship, but also the recognition. It immediately externalizes bad behavior as such from a child or an adult.

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.

CW: Abusive relationships, self harm
