51: How to Recognize and Deal with Narcissism

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today’s conversation is one that I’ve wanted to have with all of you for a while now. Narcissism, and especially being in a relationship with a narcissist, is a hard topic and a hugely important one that I see in my work a lot, and which I have experienced personally. These days, I can see that it is a condition that is making a lot of people sick, so, in this episode, we’ll explore what it is, what it looks like, and what you can do about it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We begin by exploring the pattern that narcissism follows, what it is exactly, the traits it possesses, as well as a common misconception about it. Drawing upon information from Dr. Ramani among other sources, we’ll examine the four types of narcissism, some tactics that narcissists use, and what you can do if you are in a relationship with a narcissist or you know someone who is. Above all else, I need to emphasize that if you feel you are in such a relationship, and it is escalating to the point where you do not feel safe, please ask for help, make a phone call, and get out. Your health has to come first, and that is precisely what today’s difficult but incredibly important episode is all about.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember, too, if you need help ensuring that you’re taking care of yourself, building your resilience, keeping up momentum with your goals, setting boundaries, or even if you just want to chat,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">please feel free to</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">send me an email at</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">support@kellytravis.net</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or DM me at</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/kellythealth/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/kellythealth/</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or join my free FB group The Goal-Getter’s Club at</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/goalgettersclubkellythealth/"><strong> https://www.facebook.c
