“People have a tendency to label someone as a narcissist if they just don't like them, but really, Narcissism is a personality disorder.” In this eye-opening episode, Jessica is joined by psychotherapist & narcissistic abuse recovery expert Hannah Alderete to dive deep into the complexities of narcissistic behavior, relationships, and recovery. Hannah has an incredible way of helping us understand narcissism not as a convenient description of a person who we dislike or who have done harm, but as a personality disorder that bears greater understanding–understanding that can help us get closure, set boundaries, and heal. Jessica and Hannah explore the impact narcissism has on limiting beliefs, self-worth, and boundary-setting, particularly in relationships with parents or partners. Hannah shares practical tools for recognizing narcissistic tendencies, setting firm boundaries, and rediscovering one’s authentic self. Whether you're healing from narcissistic abuse or looking to better understand narcissistic behavior, this episode offers guidance and support for reclaiming your personal power.
