Podcasts about healthy narcissism

EPISODE OVERVIEW In this episode of Live Your Legacy, Chelsea Quint dives into the importance of embracing your quirks and weirdness in business. She shares a personal pep talk inspired by a recent coaching session, focusing on how adopting a mindset of "healthy narcissism" can transform your approach to marketing and content creation. Chelsea encourages listeners to find delight in their own creations, which can lead to more consistent and effective marketing efforts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embracing Your Weirdness Chelsea starts by discussing the value of loving and embracing your unique quirks as a business owner. She highlights how accepting and even celebrating what makes you different can positively impact your business. The Struggles with Social Media Chelsea acknowledges that many business owners, particularly her clients, struggle with platforms like Instagram, which can feel frustrating and unproductive. She introduces the concept of "healthy narcissism" as a way to shift your mindset and reframe your approach to content creation. What is Healthy Narcissism? This is Chelsea's term for tapping into the childlike joy and obsession with your own creations, much like a child would with a new game or dance routine. She emphasizes that this doesn't mean acting like a textbook narcissist, but rather finding genuine delight in your work and marketing efforts. Creating from a Place of Delight Chelsea advises against creating content from a place of frustration or resentment, as this energy can be felt by your audience and affect engagement. Instead, she encourages listeners to be genuinely excited and delighted by the content they create, making the process enjoyable rather than a chore. Practical Tips for Shifting Your Mindset Reflect on past creations that brought you joy and revisit them to reignite that excitement. Choose marketing tasks that you actually enjoy, and don't force yourself to use platforms or formats that don't resonate with you. Consistency is key, and finding joy in the process will make it easier to show up regularly and refine your messaging over time. Getting High on Your Own Supply Chelsea suggests watching, reading, or listening to your own content with the same enthusiasm and pride that you would have as a child showing off a new creation. By being your own biggest fan, you can maintain the energy and momentum needed to stay consistent in your marketing efforts. Final Thoughts The more you show up and engage with your content, the clearer you'll become on what works and what doesn't. Embrace your weirdness, get obsessed with your own content, and let that energy drive your business forward.

Chelsea appreciates your time and hopes this episode helps you to find joy and delight in your marketing efforts.

Lately, I've thought a lot about narcissism.  The campaign against narcissists has scared us off from self-love and has made us blind to our inner narcissist. I just want to lay out the landscape a little and think about how we can be our fully expressed in an interdependent way. www.amyscottmindbodyspirit.com

In my continual quest to de-stigmatize narcissism. I talk here about the types of unhealthy narcissism and how we can easily pull these patterns of archetypal energy through our psyches into our lives in different ways, including via the shame and grandiosity pattern.  www.amyscottmindbodyspirit.com

  Talking about narcissism has become somewhat of a national pastime in the US at least. Everyone is calling someone who used them or who they felt manipulated by a narcissist. And perhaps they are – or were. But what exactly is narcissism and how is it different than healthy self-esteem? Is it on a spectrum or can it ever be helpful?  Is it necessary to have a bit of it to have self-confidence?  And how does humility play into this? Or is "humility" weakness? I've seen some dramatic examples in the last few years of things going wrong for my clients– when the focus on self and the need to be and look successful has led to a huge escalation of depression (sometimes silent as in perfectly hidden depression) due to way over-the-top feelings of failure – rather than allowing that to be an example of making a mistake and learning from it. Or of life handing you some hard, even cruel, or tragic experiences.  In our self-focused world, this kind of acceptance can be punitively described as accepting failure -  instead of what humility truly is – recognizing your true place in the universe, not buying in too much to your successes, your desires, or your failings. To me, humility is the moderating factor to prevent narcissism from becoming destructive, and instead promotes self-esteem and self-love rather than self-worship or self-centeredness. The listener email today is about finding out about a spouse's affair with a work colleague and how to discuss whether the spouse should leave that workplace or not. It's a sticky discussion and one I've witnessed many times in my office as a couple tries to balance regaining trust with other factors, like financial stability.  People have tried some very unhealthy solutions which've only created more distrust, not less. Regaining and rebuilding trust can be a full-time job, but months of hypervigilance isn't going to be helpful.

A word commonly used in the discussion of modern relationships is ‘narcissism' and is frequently brought up in John's sessions with clients. As the awareness of narcissism among us grows, John is going to offer insight and clarity on its various aspects and dangers and how it can affect our search for a meaningful relationship. In this episode, John will explain the different types of narcissism that present themselves within society and their associated dysfunctions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissism is based on fragility and insecurity. It results in a grandiose sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, superficiality and a tendency to manipulate and exploit other people. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is rare, affecting an estimated one per cent of the population. It is suspected when narcissistic traits affect a person's daily functioning. Grandiose Narcissism involves overestimating one's abilities, exerting one's dominance over others and having a generally inflated sense of self-esteem. Overt Narcissists can be charming but lack empathy. In conversation, they don't relate to people but aim to ‘one-up' them. This may be because they crave attention or enjoy seeing others hurt or confused. Covert Narcissists tend to be shy and self-effacing despite being highly self-focused. They can appear highly sensitive, crave recognition and are envious. They cannot take criticism and believe their suffering is beyond anyone else's.    Malignant Narcissists are manipulative and malicious. They are sadistic and aggressive and are often mistaken for sociopaths or psychopaths. Seductive Narcissists use praise, gifts and outright flattery to gain attention and affection in return, but will drop someone and move to the next as soon as that attention diminishes. Communal Narcissists see themselves as highly altruistic but behave in the opposite way. They are outraged by injustice but do not apply it to their own actions and behaviours.   BEST MOMENTS ‘'Narcissism is the second-hand smoke of our time. If you stand too close to it you are going to get sick' – Dr Ramani Durvasula'    ‘There is a hunger for appreciation or admiration, a desire to be the centre of attention, an expectation of special treatment, a perceived higher status.' ‘A pathological narcissist naturally views everyone else as inferior and may be intolerant of your opinions if you disagree or ask questions.'   ‘They are predatory in their seeking of vulnerability in other people, highly competitive and show aggressive tendencies.' ‘Competitiveness is a personality trait that is associated with many narcissistic types but is especially noticeable with the Antagonistic Narcissist. A low level of trust in others creates a tendency to see the people around them as rivals, arguing frequently with others and regarding most social interactions as a competition.'   ‘A sexual narcissist feels entitled to have their needs met. They have a self-centred view of sex and tend not to be skilled at emotional intimacy and are therefore not very interested in their partner's needs.' ‘In small amounts, it (narcissism) may even give you a healthy edge in getting ahead in the world and this is termed as Healthy Narcissism.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES   links: www.johnkennycoaching.com   The Bicycle Affect: https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWno Video Course with 1-2-1 coaching - https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607138 Video Course – https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607134 Link to my workshop -   https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/ To get in touch - email – john@johnkennycoaching.com  or book a complimentary call – https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min   If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer   Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min   The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy           ABOUT THE HOST   I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

We are all a little narcissistic. That's what makes us competitive in the world, but when does that trait cross the line? UofL Health - Peace Hospital's Martha Mather and Dr. Stephen Taylor discuss the difference between healthy narcissism and pathological narcissism, and how narcissism affects individuals and those around them.

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Nina W. Brown back to the show. Dr. Brown is a Distinguished Fellow American Group Psychotherapy Association, an eminent scholar and professor at Old Dominion University in Virginia, USA. Through her career, Nina has authored over forty books, ten of which are on the subject of narcissism. Dr. Brown discusses how her latest book is more a guide to helping individuals understand themselves in order to better cope with the narcissist in their life, a tactic she finds rewarding.Dr. Laura hears from Nina exactly how the approach of understanding self, of gaining awareness, leads to protecting ourselves and thriving into what Dr. Brown terms “positive revenge”. On the subject of wellness, Nina shares how she unwinds and refreshes outside of work by reading mystery and science fiction books. She shares advice on writing something every day, whatever bit you can - a sentence or paragraph even - in order to stay focused on a writing goal. Dr. Brown has a humble and incredibly wise outlook on life. Her insights on coping with narcissism and on cultivating the value of self will inspire everyone who hears her.“And so this is how we can develop ourselves, particularly with the empathy, because one of the defining characteristics of someone with a narcissistic personality disorder, is a lack of empathy. And so what we can work with is developing ourselves so that we can be empathic, that we can feel what the other person is feeling, without losing the sense of ourselves as being separate and distinct from them. We don't become enmeshed, we don't become overwhelmed.”  - Nina W. BrownAbout Dr. Nina W. Brown:Nina W. Brown, EdD, LPC, NCC, Distinguished Fellow American Group Psychotherapy Association, American Psychological Association Fellow is a professor and eminent scholar at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA USA.  She received her doctorate from The College Of William and Mary, and served as president of the Mid-Atlantic Group Psychotherapy Association, Secretary of the American Group Psychotherapy Association, President of APA Division 49 (The Society of Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy), President of The Group Council and other positions.  She writes and publishes books on group psychotherapy and narcissism with 40+ books to date some of which have been translated into other languages. Dr. Brown's first book was Teaching Group Dynamics: Process and Practice and she also published the first book on psychoeducational groups which is now in the 4th edition. Other books on group therapy include Expressive Processes for Groups Counseling, Group Counseling for Elementary and Middle School Students, Creating High Performance Classroom Groups, Facilitating Challenging Groups: Leaderless, Open and Single Session Groups, Creative Activities for Group Therapy, and Effective Psychoeducational Groups.

Microdosed ideas in bite sized pieces. Today's topic is on love.

David considers the pros of being narcissistic, Bryce reveals his samskara, and Marshall asks for help on how to ask for help. Selected links from the episode: Woodland Loop Trail at Falls of the Ohio Wim Hof Breathing Technique Dr. K w/ Contrapoints

"Do they have broken self worth....one half perceiving they are wonderful the other half thinking they are dreadful?" They have no self worth. Now, wait for this because it's a mind twister: The NPD has no "healthy narcissism". The two halves you speak of are the two halves Sam talks about that form the NPD personality: true self and false self. Or "authentic" self and "hyper idealised" self. It's a constant desperate fleeing from one polarity to another. The NPD is created by being torn and twisted between two polarities. One in which I am a worthless piece of shit, running barefoot and naked to the promised land in which I am God like and all powerful. The tragedy is of course both are false, both caused by a traumatic break from reality.

Is it always so wrong to have a sense of pride for you own achievements? Or to feel confident in your skills and abilities? How about selfies? Does posting a selfie instantly make you a Narcissist? And are Narcissists all people who got participation awards and were told they were amazing too many times when they didn’t deserve it? The history of narcissism in the field of psychology may surprise you when you learn how the definition has shifted over the past 100 years. What is also surprising is that narcissism can, in fact, be healthy. In this episode, Ameé speaks with best-selling author Dr. Craig Malkin about his work in the field of narcissism and his efforts to shift how narcissism is viewed and defined. His 2015 book, Rethinking Narcissism, was the first book on the topic that Ameé bought as she was coming to terms with her understanding of her own self-awareness and belief she was a “magnet” for narcissists. Dr. Craig Malkin is Lecturer in Psychology for Harvard Medical School and licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience in helping couples, individuals, and families.

As he outlines in his book Rethinking Narcissism, Malkin believes that being a little narcissistic may help us—there’s a spectrum: “When we have that little bit of self-enhancement, that’s what gives us the protection against adversity in the world, and even loss,” says Malkin. In his work, he’s found that survival mechanisms and even genetics can be at the root of narcissistic behavior. He explains the differences between pride, self-esteem, and arrogance—and how not to conflate their meaning. He also guides Loehnen through a small but powerful breakthrough with her own fear-driven mechanisms. (For more, see The goop Podcast hub.)

Episode 13: The benefits of selfies and healthy narcissism (By Dayna Mason) Although self-portraits existed long before the term “selfie” became fashionable, the advent of smartphones and the ease of publicizing our lives via social media has resulted in a self-promotion phenomenon which has led people to regard the practice with great disdain and to label others who do it as narcissists. While the images of people posing with “duck lips” or Instagram filters that add little animal ears and nose can be incredibly annoying (especially the obviously inauthentic shots of yourself “sleeping”), there are potential benefits to the practice of selfie taking.

Dr. Laura Dabney discusses healthy narcissism with Kristin. Why do so many people in abusive relationships believe that putting themselves first makes them "the narcissist"? Dr. Laura Dabney has been a psychiatrist in Virginia Beach, VA for almost twenty years and has treated patients in more than a dozen cities across Virginia, including Richmond, VA. Her psychiatric expertise has been featured on radio, podcasts, websites and in print media. She consults for a number of large institutions, including the Virginia Veterans Administration Medical Center. She received her MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School and has been Board Certified in Psychiatry.www.drldabney.com

Today we’re talking about the difference between narcissism and healthy narcissism. There are big differences and since the word "narcissistic" is being thrown around so much these days, I thought I’d do my part to keep things clear. I’m quoting three experts -- Dr. Dale Archer, Bob Taibbi, and Dr. Craig Malkin – all who have fascinating takes on the subject. I'd definitely recommend giving the links below a click to read more. You can also listen to three SelfWork episodes on narcissism and how I see it played out:  Episode 019 on how to cope with it in a relationship, Episode 122 on its relationship with love addiction, and Episode 127, dealing with two of the main manipulative techniques used -- gaslighting and stonewalling. The listener email is from a mom who’s overshared with her oldest daughter about her father’s financial issues and now regrets her actions. This kind of what's termed "enmeshment" in families happens often, when one parent or even both pull a child into a pseudo-adult role in relationship with them, without realizing the damage. Important Links: Diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Dr. Dale Archer's full article on Jody Arias and his book Better Than Normal: How What Makes You Different Can Make You Exceptional Bob Taibbi's article on healthy narcissism in  Psychology Today and his book– Brief Therapy with Couples in Crisis Dr. Craig Malkin's article  in Psychology Today on the more subtle signs of narcissism and his book Rethinking Narcissism A helpful link on asexuality:  You can hear more about narcissism and many other topics by listening to my podcast, SelfWork with Dr. Margaret Rutherford. Subscribe to my website and receive one weekly newsletter including my weekly blog post and podcast!

Hey everybody, we are BACK and ready to take off on Season 4!!! Wahoo! Narcissism – This time we focus on how it’s created and what is going on behind the narcissists defenses. Later we will address Malignant Narcissism, which is in a class all to itself! It deserves an entire episode, but for today we will look at what causes it, healthy and pathological degrees of it and what is really going on under the hood of the person afflicted with narcissism. We really heard the requests wanting to hear more about some of the diagnostic pieces of attachment, trauma and the relational sciences. Specifically, narcissism and borderline personality disorder are of great interest to many of you.  We put our heads together about how to best do this in a way that honors those who are struggling with these issues and those in relationship with them. To do this, we are going to weave conversations about narcissism and borderline personality disorder throughout the season. It may be snippets in a podcast about something else, or entire episodes focused on these concerns. Today, we’re going to get started on narcissism. Greek version of the myth: Narcissus, was the son of River God Cephisus and nymph Lyriope. He was known for his beauty and he was loved by God Apollo due to his extraordinary physique. Narcissus was once walking by a lake or river and decided to drink some water; he saw his reflection in the water and was surprised by the beauty he saw; he became entranced by the reflection of himself. He could not obtain the object of his desire though, and he died at the banks of the river or lake from his sorrow. According to the myth Narcissus is still admiring himself in the Underworld, looking at the waters of the Styx. Healthy Narcissism (!?) We all have some element of Narcissism and if we don’t, we get run over in life. We don’t want to be a doormat but we also don’t want to be on a High Horse above it all. We all have narcissism, it’s healthy entitlement. Functional narcissism is about your sense of Self, healthy entitlement and being inside yourself, and really rolling with who you are as a person. It’s being confident instead of being overly in-tune to others opinion of you. Problematic Narcissism If it’s a character trait rather than a moment in time, it’s all about defense. This defense protects the smallness and inadequacy and shame at it’s core, and to compensate, grandiosity is born. That or the opposite, which we will discuss, but if I attack the hell out of myself then I protect myself from you having less than positive feelings about me because I beat you to it. Basically, it’s about deriving self-esteem from outside affirmation in order to maintain internal validity. Narcissism is an injury to the Self, where we’ve had to give ourselves up in service of the other or blow ouselves up to feel “enough”. It is associated with the avoidant/dissmissing attachment category, or the blue side of the attachment spectrum. Narcissistic Tendencies Versus a Disorder (from a Psychologist’s Perspective) It’s only in the much higher degree and more rigid degree of the trait that we would call it disordered or problematic. This is NOT a judgment. We mean it’s problematic for the person who suffers from it and that it infiltrates most every relationship to a point that it significantly impairs daily functioning or social relationships. Not that a person with true Narcissistic personality disorder would notice this distress, because everyone around them are “stupid” or “the best.” You can imagine stupid one’s are differentiated from them and the best one’s reflect their version of themselves. Narcissistic Injury: Example: The blue side – (avoidance/dismissive attachment) is a defense, whether we live there or whether we travel there. When we feel very deeply vulnerable but can’t tolerate that experience, we pull into what we call a narcissistic defense to avoid an injury.

Social Media is making sex obsolete. Dr. Stephen Snyder shares a shocking statistic that reveals the drop in the sexual interaction between people. He unpacks his very interesting theory on why this is. In this episode, you will hear about why people have sex and the influence of social media and technology on their motivation to engage sexually. He talks about ‘Healthy Narcissism” as children and its return during sex, both of which he describes as normal. Listen in to hear him connect the dots between what social media offers and celebrity narcissism- “What we used to get from sex, we now get it from lots of places.” When describing how we interact with devices, he refers to an Infantile Narcissistic State that wants everything but gives nothing. How long should sex last? Listen in to find out what Dr. Snyder considers the appropriate length for sexual engagement. He touches on porn and its influence on what people perceive as perfect. Again, technology affects what we come to expect. Sex: Technique versus Feelings Dr. Snyder compares the variety of advice available to couples about technique and technical know-how as opposed to psychological signs. He shares the signs of arousal (this is not actually what you think it is!!). This candid list is something you won't want to miss out on as it brings much clarity to what we experience. Dr. Snyder unwraps the effect of sex on your mental faculties, returning to an infantile state and validation. Tune in to hear his advice for experiencing the most out of arousal to validate and connect us in relationships. How does good communication ruin great sex? We move on to even more unusual beliefs with Dr. Snyder. Join in to hear his shocking view on what communication can do to your relationship and encounter his playful analogies around this. He shares his experiences about couples he consults and makes sense of why he believes communication curbs the passion in relationships. Is it ok to be Selfish? Join in to find out about the role selfishness plays in relationships and sex. We cover orgasms and who is responsible for them despite what is commonly believed. Dr. Snyder draws parallels between childlike selfishness and its connection with sex. Very interesting to hear! But I'm not in the mood Dr. Snyder covers a method called the Two- Step. He discusses the secret of this method as the ‘experiencing mode.' While every couple does things a little differently together, Dr. Snyder says it should move naturally to the second step. We share a playground analogy that opens up our views about what is expected and not expected for connecting with your partner. Men and women experience things differently. In this episode, Dr. Snyder visits the evolution of men's understanding of women. He shares his insights on how men have lost their primal instincts in an attempt to better understand women and what the impact of this is in relationships today. He shares his advice on embracing your desires. When Dr. Snyder assesses women today, he focuses on women not understanding that men want happy partners. He presents men's fears about having unhappy partners and the fear of disappointment. In his assessment, he draws on the male experience with a mother and the themes carried from that into adult relationships.
