How to Heal From a Narcissist with Dr. Ramani Durvasula
We are overjoyed to welcome back Dr. Ramani Durvasula to talk about healing from narcissists in your life – whether it be a parent, friend, or romantic partner. She briefs us on what narcissists actually are and what motivates them, then we dive into the healing process, everything from recognizing to acceptance to how to communicate with them and finally, moving past the trauma and self-actualization. We also play a game with her – Narcissist or Not – crowd-sourced from our listeners.
