Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin 89 — Dealing With a Narcissist? How to Empower Yourself with Dr. Ramani Durvasula
Narcissists are everywhere. And whether your boss is a narcissist, or you're in a relationship with one, their behavior can take a toll on you if you're not prepared. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to stay mentally strong when they're trying to manipulate you, they're blaming you, and they're acting out.
Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a licensed psychologist who has authored several books on narcissism, including It's Not You. Her work focuses on studying the impact that narcissism and high-conflict personality styles have on relationships and mental health. Some of the things she talks about today are how to recognize a narcissist, how to diffuse a situation with a narcissist, and how to stay mentally strong when you're dealing with one.
