Episode notes

Cecilia: Are we ever going to go to a time where narcissists, a stigma has gone from it and narcissism is something that people are working on actively or is that impossible inherently in the condition? Caroline: I agree. There is no cure for narcissism. But what we do know is things like psychedelics actually have helped some, but not to the extent where they're still able to be in a healthy relationship. It can minimize and dial down potentially some of the abusive protector parts,. Cecilia: As of now, who knows what the future withholds?

CW: Abusive relationships, self harm
