Episode 332 - The Dr. Cloud Show Live - Special Edition: A Spotlight on Narcissism

In this special edition of the podcast we spotlight Dr. Cloud’s insights on the subject of narcissism.

 

Dr. Cloud's introduction covers the over-attribution of narcissism, what it is, and what it is not.

 

Shelly is seeing signs of narcissism in a man she's dating. She want to know: Can narcissists change?

 

Hayley has a narcissistic mom. She's been "gray rocking" her and it's working, but her sisters don't practice it. Dr. Cloud discusses how all narcissists are not the same and there isn't one strategy that's going to work for all of them. Many techniques can be employed.

 

Cheri wants to know if narcissists are aware of how their actions are perceived by others. Is it automatic for them to be manipulative, like a defense mechanism? Is there a way to make them see what they're doing to stop the behavior?
