Ellen Rae Greenberg was found dead in her apartment on January 26 2011. She was 27 years old and was engaged to be married to Samuel Goldberg. Goldberg called 911 claiming he found Ellen unresponsive. Police were quick to determine she died by suicide – despite the 20 stab wounds, 10 of which were to the back of her head and neck - and a knife protruding from her heart. Ellen's parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg believe Ellen was murdered. Join Laura and clinical psychologist Dr Jaime Zuckerman as they discuss and analyse the case.

“Narcissists routinely love to ruin meaningful moments,” says Dr. Jaime Zuckerman as she unpacks the challenges of dealing with narcissists during the holidays while offering strategies to help you stay grounded and in control. How do you handle the unsolicited comments, the manipulative behaviors, or even the intentional chaos they bring to gatherings? Dr. Z encourages listeners to prepare for these moments rather than hoping for change, using boundaries and neutral responses as tools to maintain your own sense of peace. Dr. Z also touches on the difficulties surrounding co-parenting during the holidays, as well as the emotional strings tied to gift-giving. She provides actionable advice to defuse conflict while protecting your mental well-being. Dr. Z explains how seemingly small and neutral actions are most effective in shifting power dynamics, such as a simple “thank you” or having a pre-planned exit strategy. This episode is a guide to navigating the holidays with clarity and confidence. Dr. Z reminds listeners that while you can't control others, you can control how you respond—and that alone can make all the difference. Quotes “Narcissists routinely love to ruin meaningful moments.” (04:49 | Dr. Z) “You're not changing their behavior. That's not what this is about. This is about you gaining control over the situation.” (10:50 | Dr. Z) “It is necessary for you to set boundaries. It is necessary for you to stay neutral. It is necessary for you to sit with the discomfort and regulate your nervous system. This is essential because we know that birthdays, holidays, major events, promotions, and graduations are the times when narcissists love to perform. Do not give them the platform.” (30:06 | Dr. Z) “A boundary only doesn't work if you don't keep setting it... The purpose of boundaries is for you to walk away feeling empowered and more in control, leaving them standing there with the accountability of the conversation on them. What they choose to do with that accountability is up to them—they're not going to take it, but at least it's not yours to carry.” (30:54 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman Dr. Z's Holiday Help Handbook: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/store/p/dr-zs-holiday-help-workshop-l3ss7 Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my virtual workshops here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“It's going to be hard. It's going to be the worst feeling you've ever had, but you've got to work through it.” The hard truth that, according to Nicki Marie, every single mom navigating divorce needs to hear. In this episode, she joins Dr. Jaime Zuckerman to open up about the emotional rollercoaster of separation, co-parenting and motherhood, offering a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of her journey. An “accidental influencer” and mom advocate, Nicki shares how rediscovering her authentic self became her anchor through the chaos of motherhood and divorce. Together, she and Dr. Z discuss how societal expectations and toxic relationships can reshape self-esteem and identity, which leave women questioning their worth. What does it take to rebuild your worth after years of feeling unseen? How do you trust again when past relationships have left you feeling guarded? This episode is an honest and hopeful conversation for anyone grappling with the complexities of single motherhood and the scars left by difficult relationships. Nicki's reflections remind us that healing can be messy yet worthwhile, and celebrating small victories along the way is a step toward reclaiming your strength. Quotes “I see people going through horrific divorces and family court, and one thing I always tell them is to document those breakdown moments—often, they happen in the car. Documenting these moments creates anchor points to look back on and see how far they've come. We're often the worst reporters of our own behavior. We forget how low we were, how hard we worked to get through something, and how successful we've been at overcoming challenges. Capturing those moments can ground you and remind you of your progress. It doesn't mean you won't have bad days—let's be honest, bad days happen. But acknowledging those past struggles and recognizing that you're further along than you were—that's all you need to know.” (07:15 | Dr. Z) “This is a message I need everyone to hear: It's going to be hard. It's going to be the worst feeling you've ever had, but you've got to work through it.” (08:43 | Nicki Marie) “You know what's funny? If you Google me, guess what the first thing that comes up that people are searching the most… ‘Nicki Marie, reason for divorce.' ‘Nicki Marie, ex-husband.' People are obsessed with wanting to know the deal. And I will never share it because I have children and I want their world to be as offline as possible. That's for me to work through. That's for us to work through. So, I want to say that as a reminder to women who think they have to tell their full life story online: It's there forever. Do the work with Dr. Z behind the scenes.” (56:04 | Nicki Marie) Links Connect with Nicki Marie: @nickimarieinc @unpluggedwithnicki https://linktr.ee/Nickimariebrands?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaaa356ZtcSAo7EmbJGEzJ1n3rO0rvekX8Eahzc73-utvKp900gboHSs8o_aem_KzH1HX-YVvcQr2sedajLQg Connect with Dr. Z: BLACK FRIDAY SALE ON NOW!!!

“The abuser often maintains that facade of having it together and looking after their partner. It's that image we tried to set up immediately,” says award-winning director Jack Stockley. He opens up about his true purpose behind his short film “Purgatory,” - to reveal the quiet devastation of coercive control in abusive relationships. By portraying the abuser as charming and well-composed, Jack exposes a disturbing duality that keeps the abused partner isolated and questioning their own reality. His film's nuanced storytelling challenges viewers to see beyond appearances and recognize the silent suffering hidden beneath the surface. In this episode, Jack joins Dr. Jaime Zuckerman to discuss the behavioral nuances of his film and the often subtle patterns of narcissistic abuse. How do you depict domestic violence without showing physical violence? And what makes coercive control so difficult to recognize, even when it's happening right in front of us? Jack shares how “Purgatory” uses subtle details, such as visual cues and carefully crafted dialogue, to immerse viewers in the isolating, and often invisible, world of psychological abuse. This episode encourages us to look deeper into the patterns of narcissistic abuse, so that we can recognize red flags sooner. “Purgatory” is not only a compelling film but an essential conversation starter on the realities of narcissistic abuse. Quotes “So you start the film questioning, ‘What's her problem?' Right from the beginning, it mirrors how many abusive relationships seem from the outside. You think, ‘Well, she's a bit messy,' or ‘He's holding it all together.' The abuser often maintains that facade of having it together and looking after their partner. It's that image we try to set up immediately.” (08:44 | Jack Stockley) “When a woman leaves a narcissistic, abusive, grossly controlling relationship like that, the time she's most at risk for harm to herself and her children is when she leaves—or if they find out that she's going to leave, or right after she leaves. That's the highest time for violence. So it isn't simply a matter of just leaving; it's about leaving safely.” (16:00 | Dr. Z) “As a storyteller, as a filmmaker, to me, those subtle details and nuances that convey coercive control and emotional abuse are the most important. It's the lifeblood of the film because you have to make it.” (29:33 | Jack Stockley) “People don't talk about the fact that rape can exist in a marriage. It can exist in any relationship. It's not something that happens only between strangers in the park. It's not a cliché, but people don't talk about it. People don't think that it's a real thing.” (35:19 | Jack Stockley) Links Connect with Jack Stockley: Follow Jack Stockley on Instagram: @thereal_jps Follow Blue Muse Productions on Instagram: @bluemuseproductions Visit Blue Muse Productions YouTube channel to watch Purgatory: https://www.youtube.com/@BlueMuseProductions Jack's newest short film - Flying - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jezw_c9UwQs Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my virtual workshops here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“The liability is not yours to own; it's the narcissist's. Let it smother them, not you.” Dr. Jaime Zuckerman takes a closer look at what life looks like when a narcissistic ex still finds ways to create chaos, even after the relationship has ended. How does one protect their peace and their children's well-being when post-separation abuse seems designed to undermine it? From stirring up conflict with their children's teachers and coaches to resurfacing hidden debts, the narcissistic ex can remain a powerful disruptor. Dr. Z shares practical insights for those navigating these situations, including how to set boundaries, how to communicate openly with children, and how to address character smear campaigns without giving the narcissist the attention they crave. This episode is both empowering and validating, reminding listeners that while they may not be able control the narcissist's behavior, they can control their own responses. Dr. Z's guidance offers a path to reclaiming stability, peace, and resilience amidst ongoing challenges with a narcissistic ex. Quotes “The narcissist will deliberately sever your ties with people because it further isolates you. It causes increased damage to your relationships. But most importantly, it's one of the only ways the narcissist still has control over you.” (05:11 | Dr. Z) “With a narcissist, you want to give them nothing. You don't want to give them that stage because just like the family courts, a kids little league is a stage for the narcissist to perform. Period. End of story. And the best way you handle that is by giving them nothing. The more attention you give them, the louder it gets, the more engaged in their acts the narcissist becomes.” (14:46 | Dr. Z) “Even though it's embarrassing as hell, and even though you're so angry, you're keeping the liability on the narcissist, and that's where it needs to be. The liability is not yours to own; it's theirs. Let it smother them, not you.” (33:32 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my virtual workshops here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
This week, Erin and Sara are joined again by Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, a certified clinical psychologist, to discuss love bombing. They cover what it actually is, the warning signs, how to prevent it, and much more.Executive Producers: Erin Foster, Sara Foster, and Allison BresnickAssociate Producer: Montana McBirneyAudio Engineer: Josh WindischThis episode is sponsored by: Foria (foriawellness.com/foster)AG1 (drinkag1.com/foster)Ritual (ritual.com/foster)BetterHelp (betterhelp.com/foster)Branch Basics (branchbasics.com PROMO CODE: FOSTER)Our Place (fromourplace.com PROMO CODE: FOSTER)
“If you and your partner are experiencing friction, consider whether there are things going on in your lives—whether it's a few really big chronic issues, a lot of little constant acute issues, or a mix of both—that could be contributing to this,” advises Liz Earnshaw, a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified Gottman therapist, and founder of A Better Life Therapy. In this episode, Dr. Z shifts the focus from narcissistic relationships to the everyday stressors that impact healthy partnerships. Joined by Liz, known for her popular Instagram account “@Liz Listens” and her books “I Want This to Work” and “Till Stress Do Us Part,” they delve into how external pressures can fuel relational friction. What are the stressors in your life that might be affecting your relationship? Liz encourages couples to identify and list these stressors, a simple yet effective practice that can lead to greater empathy and cooperation. She also discusses different partner types—such as avoidant or indifferent—and shares concrete strategies for improving communication and setting healthy boundaries within your relationships. Liz introduces a structured approach to managing stress, helping couples distinguish between what they can shed, prevent, or adapt to. By aligning actions with core values and addressing how conflict avoidance with others can impact the relationship, she provides a roadmap for couples looking to strengthen their bond. These insights offer a practical guide for anyone aiming to build a resilient partnership rooted in clear communication, empathy, and intentional choices. Quotes “The first piece I think is really important is if you and your partner are experiencing friction, consider whether there are things going on in your lives—whether it's a few really big chronic issues, a lot of little constant acute issues, or a mix of both—that could be contributing to this.” (05:10 | Liz Earnshaw) “What I've noticed with the couples I'm working with is that they're mismanaging the amount of stress they bring into their lives without considering the long-term repercussions. A lot of this stems from saying yes to too many things and putting immense pressure on ourselves to do more, accumulate more, and live a big life.” (20:20 | Liz Earnshaw) “One thing I think is really important for people to do is to consider their North Star. What I mean by that is, where are you and your partner heading as a family? Where do you want to be? This has a lot to do with your values. For example, if your North Star is to create a safe and secure family, build a stable financial future, or live an adventurous life, it should reflect what you and your partner value as a family—your combined family values.” (35:19 | Liz Earnshaw) Links Connect with Liz Earnshaw: elizabethearnshaw.com https://www.instagram.com/lizlistens/ Til Stress Do Us Part book: https://amzn.to/4dSHpPP I Want this to Work book: https://amzn.to/3X3JXnw Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my virtual workshops here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“A lot of people don't realize that there's narcissistic abuse occurring in friendships because we don't really think of it in that context,” says Dr. Z. When we talk about narcissistic abuse, it's usually in the context of intimate or family relationships. This week, Dr. Z highlights an often-overlooked reality: it can happen in friendships too, and it can be just as insidious and psychologically damaging. Dr. Z reveals that just like within intimate relationships, narcissistic friendships also begin with love bombing efforts. These may include excessive attention and adoration, gifts, and constant communication very early in the friendship. This helps to craft the illusion of the perfect friendship. Initially, you may feel as though this person is your twin soul. You can't fathom how you ever existed without them up till now. However, over time, the love bombing ceases and they begin to engage in manipulative and passive aggressive behaviors. For example, they may undermine your success, not offer support when it's most needed, or try to one-up you. A narcissistic friend will dominate conversations, often unloading their issues onto you without offering any real support in return. Another red flag Dr. Z points out is the use of silent treatments. This can leave you feeling confused and anxious, wondering for days what you did wrong. Narcissistic friends will consume your time, drain your energy, and possibly even your finances. It is their goal to isolate you from your existing friends and family so that you become increasingly dependent on the friendship. Dr. Z also touches on how narcissistic friends demand you meet their emotional, physical, or financial needs. And when you don't comply? Expect guilt trips, gaslighting, silent treatments, and character bashing. This episode isn't just about recognizing these abusive patterns; it's also about finding a way out. Dr. Z shares practical advice on setting small, manageable boundaries and slowly reconnecting with your other relationships and interests. Escaping a narcissistic friendship is tough, but as Dr. Z reassures, it's absolutely possible. The key is to focus on your well-being and remember that the narcissistic abuse you endured is never your fault. . Quotes “One of the things that narcissistic friends hate is seeing you succeed. They do not like your success because, for them, it doesn't involve the narcissist, and they don't have control over it. Success is a step towards autonomy, which they view as a threat. They see it as competition—something we'll discuss separately—and a barrier to getting supply.” (06:59 | Dr. Z) “Narcissists in friendships will align themselves with people that benefit them in some way.” (22:32 | Dr. Z) “Do not waste any breath or energy trying to defend your character when a narcissist is trying to smear it. That's exactly what they want. The best thing to do is ignore it, not defend it, and let it ride out. The more you engage, the more control you're giving up and handing over to them.” (34:16 | Dr. Z) “Healthy friendships do not involve constantly trying to one-up each other. They don't involve making the other person feel horrible about themselves, being rude, or not talking to them for no reason. True, healthy friendships are a two-way street. Sometimes one person needs more, and the other needs less, and it goes back and forth. You respect each other, respect each other's feelings, and you're there for each other. If you can't be there for someone, they understand that it's not malicious.” (39:28 | Dr. Z) Links: Get my FREE breathing exercise here http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my virtual workshops http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Books: Find Your Calm http://www,drjaimezuckerman.com/books Find Good Habit http://www,drjaimezuckerman.com/books Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“I thought I met the man of my dreams, and he turned out to be one of the biggest con men in history,” shares Benita Alexander, a highly accomplished journalist and executive producer. In this episode, she joins Dr. Z to recount her harrowing experience with love fraud at the hands of Dr. Paolo Macchiarini. Benita's story, featured in the Netflix documentary “Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife” and the Wondery podcast “Dr. Death,” serves as a chilling reminder that even the most intelligent and successful individuals can fall victim to the manipulative blueprint of narcissists. Benita met Macchiarini during a vulnerable period in her life. His charm and apparent empathy quickly drew her in, leading to a whirlwind romance. However, as their relationship progressed, red flags began to emerge, which Benita initially dismissed due to Macchiarini's convincing explanations. Dr. Z and Benita explore the psychological impact of such a profound betrayal, emphasizing the difficulty of recognizing, and escaping from, a narcissistic abusive relationship. They discuss how factors such as intelligence and success do not necessarily immunize one from becoming vulnerable to this type of abuse. Benita's courageous decision to go public with her story underscores the need to raise awareness about the dangers of people like Macchiarini, who exploit their victims' trust for personal gain. Exploring the complexities of narcissistic abuse, the insidious nature of love bombing, and the resilience required to rebuild one's life after such a traumatic experience, this episode serves as both a cautionary tale and a source of inspiration for those who may find themselves entangled in similar situations. Quotes “Any narcissist's worst fear is the collapse—falling from the pedestal, their reputation being destroyed.” (36:35 | Benita Alexander) “It takes so much courage for a woman to come forward and expose herself like that. And then, on top of it, to get attacked—it's the reason people don't talk about this kind of thing. That's what's so concerning to me because if we stay quiet and if women don't feel comfortable enough to come forward and talk, it's going to keep happening. These people—narcissists, con artists, sociopaths, whatever you want to call them—count on you being quiet. They count on you being too embarrassed and humiliated to talk. That's why the lies keep escalating, because they don't think they're ever going to get caught.” (58:59 | Benita Alexander) “I think it's also important to realize—very, very important—not to blame yourself. I mean, what was your crime? You fell in love. You wanted to trust the person you fell in love with, and that's a very normal thing. You didn't do anything wrong. You were vulnerable. When you're vulnerable and you fall in love, there's a reason they say love is blind. But you never expect something this extreme to happen. You never expect someone to be lying to you about literally everything."

“In a narcissistically abusive relationship, sex can become a tool of weaponry, a tool of control,” declares Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist. In this episode, she joins Dr. Z to unpack the intricate relationship between sex and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Dr. Balestrieri, founder of Modern Intimacy and host of the “Get Naked with Dr. Kate” podcast, delves into the subtle tactics of sexual coercion and emotional manipulation commonly used by someone with NPD. She discusses how, within these relationships, sex is used as a tool to seek validation, power, and control. The conversation also touches on the function and impact of infidelity and pornography in these relationship dynamics. Listen to this episode of Next Up: Narcissism to get a deep and insightful look into the role of sex within Narcissistic Personality Disorder, offering valuable strategies for those who are affected by this type of abusive behavior. Quotes “In a narcissistically abusive relationship, sex can become a tool of weaponry, a tool of control. It becomes bait, a way to keep someone suctioned into the relationship. It provides a false sense of security and can be a bomb used to perpetuate the cycle of abuse.” (03:13 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) “When we understand narcissism, we recognize that it's really about the person, organized in this fashion, trying to prop up a sense of self that they can feel okay about. At its core, narcissism is rooted in shame and self-loathing. Narcissists cope with these feelings by projecting various manufactured images. Sex becomes another tool they use to prop up that image for themselves and the world. It becomes a way for them to gain supply, attention, validation, control, and power.” (05:34 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) “We have to remember that narcissism is a condition of objectification. With a fragmented sense of self, they objectify everyone in their life; everyone serves a purpose to bolster them up. For someone partnered with a narcissist, their partner serves a particular function. One of the key elements of objectification is instrumentality, where the person becomes an object or instrument for serving the narcissist.” (24:36 | Dr. Kate Balestrieri) Links Connect with Dr. Kate Balestrieri: TikTok @drkatebalestrieri https://www.tiktok.com/@drkatebalestrieri?lang=en IG: https://www.instagram.com/drkatebalestrieri Website: www.modernintimacy.com Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
In this episode, Dr. Z delves into the complex dynamics between narcissistic mothers and their adult daughters. She discusses how the behavior patterns of narcissistic mothers challenge societal norms of the mother/daughter relationship and have a profound impact on their daughters' self-esteem and mental health. Dr. Z also addresses the grieving process daughters of narcissistic mothers must go through once they come to accept the relationship will never be what they hoped for. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and offers practical strategies for managing these dynamics. Tune in to this episode of Next Up: Narcissism for Dr. Z's compassionate and empowering insights, aimed at helping listeners break free from narcissistic abuse and move towards a healthier, happier life. Quotes “With narcissistic moms, they love their children in conditions. They love their children so long as the child is, at any age, doing what is expected of the narrative that has been given to them since birth. So, since birth, you get a narrative. You are to play that role your whole life. That role is meant to put you in a certain pattern that the narcissistic mom is able to control and manipulate. Because remember, with narcissists, the main goal of narcissistic behavior is to gain power and control, to take away your autonomy, to take away your sense of self.” (09:11 | Dr. Z) “Do narcissistic moms love their kids? They love them when they are performing as the narcissist wants them to perform. They love them so long as the child is doing what is expected of them.” (11:07 | Dr. Z) “Start to gain objectivity to your narcissistic mom's behavior and the reality of who you are, because the reality of who you are is not connected to her. She's just made you think that for so long. Your ability to make decisions independent of her exists. It always existed… Once you realize that you can exist separately from a narcissistic mom, your entire world opens up. You realize that you are capable of doing whatever you want to do, as long as you understand that you will never get the support that you want from your mom, unless it benefits her.” (37:40 | Dr. Z) Links Get my FREE breathing exercise here! https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“I was in a quintessential trauma bond with my ex-husband, the ‘Wolf of Wall Street,' Jordan Belfort,” says Dr. Nadine Macaluso. “It started, as most trauma bonds do, with love bombing and promises of love and adoration forever, along with extreme affection. It was very intense and fast-paced, and then it blew up like many trauma bonds do.” Dr. Nadine, also known as Dr. Nae, is an author and licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in trauma bonds, narcissistic abuse, complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), and somatic therapy. In this episode, Dr. Nae joins Dr. Z to share her own personal story of narcissistic abuse survival, including the psychological, emotional, financial, and legal challenges she faced within her own relationship with Jordan Belfort. She discusses her healing journey, and how her experiences navigating her own trauma bonding put her on the path to help those in similar circumstances. Dr. Nae emphasizes that the abusive behavior of a partner is never the victim's fault, and that there is always hope and a path to healing. In addition to her extensive clinical work, Dr. Nae is the author of “Run Like Hell: A Therapist's Guide to Recognizing, Healing, and Escaping from Trauma Bonds.” Her work offers insights into identifying the signs of narcissistic abuse and how to break free from trauma bonds. This episode is a powerful message of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to recognize their own worth and seek the support they need to reclaim their sense of self. Quotes “When he first wrote the book, which later became a movie, I just remember thinking inside, ‘I survived this incredible Greek tragedy,' because that's what it always felt like—the depth of the pain I had endured. And now it's entertainment. Inside, I just said to myself, ‘You know, Nadine,'—I fought and wrestled with myself—but then I said, ‘This is bigger than you, and you have to surrender to this.'” (18:43 | Dr. Nadine Macaluso) “We can't build resiliency in isolation. The only way we can build authentic confidence is to approach what we fear. And so, with the help of people, never by myself, I just kept approaching life.” (27:20 | Dr. Nadine Macaluso) “It really wasn't spoken about, and it's so great that it is now because it is a very isolating experience with so much shame and embarrassment. There's just so much to climb through to get out of it. Then you have children and financial dependency, and the court system, right? It works against all of us in breaking free and getting healthier. Yet, here we are today having this conversation. My book was a labor of love; it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I don't think I'll ever do that again. It was a very humbling experience.” (40:03 | Dr. Nadine Macaluso) “Trauma lives in the body. It's an experience that overwhelms us, and our nervous system, unfortunately, integrates it… After a trauma bond, you feel so unsafe in the world. How do I get people to feel safe in their bodies? With breath work, grounding exercises, and really listening to their bodies. This helps them contain their feelings because there's so much emotional dysregulation that happens. As we know, our thoughts and minds aren't always our best friends. I always say the true self lives between your throat and your pelvic floor.” (42:08 | Dr. Nadine Macaluso) Links Connect with Nadine Macaluso: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealdrnadine/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drnaelmft Run Like Hell: A Therapist's Guide to Recognizing, Healing, and Escaping from Trauma Bonds: https://amzn.to/3KRssRF Website: https://drnae.com/ Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“They actually thrive and enjoy being in this drama, trauma, and chaos, getting people stirred up,” says Rebecca Zung, describing high conflict personalities. In this episode, Dr. Z talks with Rebecca, a top-ranked trial lawyer, high conflict negotiator, and international bestselling author of “Slay the Bully: How to Negotiate with a Narcissist and Win.” Rebecca explains that while those with high conflict personalities will often demonstrate narcissistic traits, this does not necessarily mean they have a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Dr. Z emphasizes the importance of understanding the function of someone's behavior, or the underlying “why” behind it. This helps when formulating responses and implementing boundaries with a high conflict individual. The episode covers Rebecca's S.L.A.Y. (Strategy, Leverage, Anticipate, and You) method for negotiating with high conflict personalities, offering practical advice for those facing high conflict divorce or custody battles. Rebecca details each component of her SLAY method, highlighting the need to create a vision, build leverage within the dynamic, anticipate their next moves, and maintain a strong, self-focused mindset. Packed with insights and how-to strategies, this episode of Next Up: Narcissism is a valuable resource for anyone dealing with high conflict personalities and narcissistic abuse. Quotes “A high conflict personality literally thrives on constantly stirring the pot in every area they can, all the time, no matter where they go. It's almost like Pigpen in Charlie Brown, who always had that cloud around him. That's how it is with a high conflict personality. Wherever they go, there's always something brewing.” (05:21 | Rebecca Zung) “People with high conflict personalities, narcissistic personalities, or even just extreme narcissistic traits, they're not going to therapy and getting diagnosed. And if they do, it's either court mandated, or they go once then they don't come back again. They go to a million different therapists until they find one that's going to buy into their bullshit. And that's what happens… And I think also, with social media, certain people don't get away with certain things anymore. And people have more knowledge about it. So we're hearing about it more. Are people misdiagnosed by society? Yeah, they are… Narcissism is a very distinct thing.” (10:52 | Dr. Z) “My S.L.A.Y. method is the blueprint. I call it a blueprint as well. It's basically a roadmap to get exactly where you want to go, to win your negotiations, to win in court, to win in communication, whatever it is that you want to do. It's a four-step playbook to help you visualize where you want to go and then just create the plan.” (20:44 | Rebecca Zung) Links Connect with Rebecca Zung: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2303615&u=4279579&m=139677&urllink=&afftrack= Slay Your Negotiation with a Narcissist: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2319861&u=4279579&m=139677&urllink=&afftrack= SLAY the Bully: How to Negotiate with a Narcissist and Win: https://amzn.to/3WibKBw For the FREE Crush My Negotiation Prep Playbook: https://winmynegotiation.com/ Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“What is happening behind closed doors of the family court system would horrify everyone in the country and around the world if they truly knew,” says Tina Swithin, renowned family court advocate, author of the “Divorcing a Narcissist” book series, blogger and owner of One Mom's Battle, and founder of the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program. In this episode, Dr. Z and Tina discuss the often deeply flawed family court system, particularly in cases involving high-conflict divorce. Tina sheds light on the dark underbelly of the “alienation industry,” detailing the disturbing practices of reunification camps and the resulting psychological trauma these camps have on children as well as the healthy parent. Highlighting her ongoing legislative success in banning these camps, Tina emphasizes the continued need for careful documentation, local support networks, and increased advocacy to push for system reform. Dr. Z and Tina provide essential advice and resources for those involved in high-conflict divorces, stressing the importance of awareness, support, and meticulous documentation as they navigate the family court system. Quotes “The first step towards change is awareness on these topics. We need to be talking about it because there are so many survivors of domestic violence who believe the messaging from society—just be brave, leave. And then they assume that once they step foot into the family court system, that they are going to be protected and that their children are going to be protected. That's absolutely not what's happening.” (04:05 | Tina Swithin) “I think that the family court system is working the way it was designed. A lot of people say it's broken. It's like, no, it's doing what it was designed to do. It has become an industrial complex. It has become an incredibly lucrative industry where it attracts a lot of very unscrupulous professionals, ‘professionals' who are not there for the right reasons. They're there for profit. And it should be what is in the child's best interest.” (05:17 | Tina Swithin) “The industry that has been created around the thought that two parents are absolutely critical to a child, they've created their own industry: reunification industry, alienation industry. By the time I retire, I hope it's exposed. It will go down in history as the biggest multilevel marketing scheme of our lifetime.” (29:39 | Tina Swithin) Links Sign Up for my LIVE Summer Support Group here: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Connect with Tina Swithin: One Moms Battle: https://www.onemomsbattle.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onemomsbattle/ X: https://x.com/onemomsbattle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onemomsbattle TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@onemomsbattle?lang=en Book: https://amzn.to/3VcdjPC Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“In today's society, we're often taught that these are two very separate things,” says Dr. Z as she delves into the impact that narcissistic abuse can have on physical health. “It couldn't be further from the truth. Our brains and our bodies are one, and you really need to think about yourself in terms of how those two things are connected.” In this episode, Dr. Z highlights how narcissistic abusive relationships can manifest physically within our bodies, leading to chronic conditions such as headaches, joint pain, menstrual cycle changes, high blood pressure, stomach issues, vision changes, hair loss, skin rashes, respiratory infections, and even autoimmune disease flare-ups. There are also a myriad of cognitive issues that can arise such as forgetfulness, poor attention and concentration, difficulty making everyday decisions, and a pervasive sense of fogginess and fatigue. Dr. Z explains how these issues stem from the body's response to chronic stress resulting in elevated and prolonged spikes in cortisol levels (our stress hormone). While our brains and bodies are equipped to deal with short term stressors, exposure to the long-standing trauma and the stress of narcissistic abuse keeps the body stuck in a constant state of heightened alertness, leading to chronic inflammation and a wide range of long standing health problems. She addresses the challenges many narcissistic abuse survivors face within the medical field, as several of their symptoms appear to have no immediate or identifiable cause. It is not uncommon for abuse survivors to be told that many of their medical complaints are “in their head,” or “just due to stress.” This often leaves survivors feeling confused and invalidated by medical professionals. Dr. Z also discusses the limitations of “talk therapy” as a standalone treatment approach for trauma, and strongly advocates for a comprehensive approach that acknowledges physical symptoms with a heavy focus on nervous system regulation. She also stresses the importance of a holistic approach, emphasizing the need to integrate breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, and mindfulness practices into specialized trauma informed therapy. This episode reassures listeners that their symptoms are normal responses to abnormal situations and offers concrete strategies and tips for those who are experiencing physical health problems resulting from narcissistic abuse in their relationships. Quotes “Being in the field of psychology, I was trained to understand that the body and the brain are one. They are not separate entities. And in today's society, we're often taught that there are two very separate things: there's our mind and there's our body and they do not interact. And it couldn't be further from the truth.” (02:26 | Dr. Z) “Our brains and our bodies are one and you really need to think about yourself in terms of how those two things are connected. To only consider one at a time is really not giving you the full picture and not going to help you understand why it is that your body's responding a certain way in a narcissistic abusive relationship.” (02:24 | Dr. Z) “You are not crazy. In fact, far from. Your body is actually doing what it's supposed to be doing. The problem is that you're not being chased by a tiger. You're in a relationship where you are being coercively controlled, manipulated, and abused. And because of that chronic nature and that cycle of narcissistic abuse, you're on a dimmer switch. You're constantly being jolted with these releases of chemicals that are elevating inflammation in your body that are keeping you sick.” (27:56 | Dr. Z) “There is a very good reason for why these things are happening. And I promise you that as you gain the strength to leave the narcissistic abusive relationship or to set serious limits and boundaries, you're going to notice a direct impact on your physical health.” (28:56 | Dr. Z) Links Sign Up for my LIVE Summer Support Group here: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Subscribe to my email list for latest news, workshops and more! https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
Today, the word “narcissist” is frequently thrown around and used within inappropriate contexts, such as a broad label for “toxic” individuals. How, then, do we differentiate between someone with unhealthy patterns and the manipulative behaviors of a person with NPD? In this episode, Dr. Z talks with Dr. Les Carter, a clinical psychologist and founder of Surviving Narcissism, who provides deep insights into narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) including its specific cognitive processes and behaviors. The discussion highlights the critical differences between those who display narcissistic patterns due to upbringing and those with a true NPD, emphasizing that the latter rarely changes due to a lack of internal values and inability to self-reflect. However, despite the challenges of treating someone with narcissistic “traits,” Dr. Carter shares a rare success story of a family member who overcame their narcissistic tendencies through personal crisis and therapy. Dr. Carter explains that while those with NPD often react defensively to being labeled, they do possess a level of awareness about their manipulative actions, often acting secretly and evasively. The episode also delves into the concept of “dark empathy,” where narcissists use their understanding of others' emotions for manipulation rather than connection. Dr. Carter notes that true empathy is hard to cultivate in those with NPD, especially older individuals. Quotes “When they hear the word narcissist, it's almost as though there's a pathological fear that they have regarding that word. It's like, ‘You're not calling me that word, are you?' And they just think of it as a dirty name, which tells you something already because if you're being an objective person, then you would just say, ‘Why don't we talk about it? If you're asking that question, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you,' which would be a very non-narcissistic way of responding. So the question is, do they know that they are being narcissistic? What they know is that you're an idiot.” (02:57 | Dr. Les Carter) “Narcissists do know that there's something foul that they're doing that offends other people, which is why they're secretive, etc. But then the rationalization ingredient can become so powerful and so strong and so overwhelming that it overrides the truth.” (10:38 | Dr. Les Carter) “You're going to be able to tell most about an individual's level of personal maturity by watching how they respond to conflict. And because healthy people can manage it... When you have somebody that's on that extreme end of narcissistic personality and you bring this to their attention, they're going to rationalize it. They're not going to admit to anything. They're not going to want to talk about any conflict. They're not going to want to find a resolution unless the act of finding a resolution benefits them in some way.” (35:12 | Dr. Les Carter & Dr. Z) Links Sign Up for my LIVE Virtual Summer Support Group here: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Connect with Dr. Les Carter: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SurvivingNarcissism/featured Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/survivingnarcissism101 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/survivingnarcissism101/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SNarcissism101 Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“Coercive control is about trying to take away someone's autonomy and their agency,” explains Laura Richards, a renowned criminal behavioral analyst and expert on domestic violence. In this episode, Dr. Z sits down with Laura and dives into the concept of coercive control, a form of domestic abuse that is often misunderstood and frequently dismissed. Dr. Z and Laura discuss the misuse of terms like “narcissistic abuse” and “toxic relationships,” stressing the importance of proper terminology and identification to prevent further harm. Laura also highlights the long-standing societal variables at play that are responsible for perpetuating domestic violence within relationships. The conversation explores high profile cases of domestic violence such as Gabby Petito and Lauren Dunne Astley to illustrate coercive control and its tragic outcomes. Laura discusses the media's portrayal of domestic violence in relationships, noting how it often memorializes male perpetrators while perpetuating victim-blaming. Laura also shares her tireless efforts to have coercive control legally recognized as a form of domestic abuse, emphasizing the need for continued advocacy, improved education, and increased awareness. Her incredible work aims to change societal attitudes and legal frameworks to provide better protection and support for victims of coercive control. Quotes “We have to think about coercive control in a micro way, in a macro way. And really, it's about trying to take away someone's autonomy and their agency. It's about utter domination of the individual. So the perpetrator looks to subjugate them and reduces their autonomy and their agency so that they focus on the perpetrator's needs. It's about an unfreedom. And it's quite important that we think about coercive control and the abuser. What are they seeking to achieve?” (06:59 | Laura Richards) “I really want people to just think about these terms—toxic relationships—but the relationship on its own is not the problem. It's the abuser. And we have to focus on them and name them to help the victim understand what's happening to them because 52% of victims don't even know that they're being coercively controlled; because as women and girls, we're conditioned that men hold power.” (14:51 | Laura Richards) “Women don't hold power and that's the power imbalance. That's what coercive control is about—a power imbalance. So I've put the word on freedom, but also power imbalance that's being exploited. And it can be exploited at family court, in civil court, in criminal court, because those systems are created by men to protect men. So what I'm trying to do is reverse that process. And that's why it's girls and women who are oppressed. Men are not oppressed. They are the ones who hold power.” (53:36 | Laura Richards) Links Sign Up for my LIVE Summer Support Group here: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Connect with Laura Richards: https://www.youtube.com/@crimeanalyst https://www.crime-analyst.com https://wondery.com/shows/real-crime-profile/ www.thelaurarichards.com https://www.dashriskchecklist.com/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/laurarichards999/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/crimeanalyst/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crimeanalystpod?lang=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurarichards99 https://twitter.com/thecrimeanalyst Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“Be a kid. What did you love doing as a kid? Don't forget those little moments because that's when you're carefree and just doing all the things—play, have fun," advises Karena Dawn, a renowned figure in the fitness and wellness industry. In this episode, Karena and Dr. Z explore the journey of healing after narcissistic abuse, drawing from Karena's personal and professional experiences. Karena shares how during her personal therapy journey, she came to the realization that her own mother had Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It was this awareness that helped her gain a better understanding of their complicated relationship, fueling her commitment to healing. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, and discusses how reconnecting with her childhood joys and love of fitness became integral parts of her recovery. Through her initiatives, Tone It Up and The Big Silence, Karena promotes the therapeutic power of exercise, meditation, and mindfulness. Dr. Z and Karena offer practical advice for healing, and stress how this is a comprehensive process, encouraging listeners to find what works best for them. Quotes “It is not easy. And then I started Tone It Up to share the message of fitness, movement, and mindfulness. And now with The Big Silence, talking about mental health. It's all taken what I went through in my youth, and then figuring out how I healed myself naturally. And then opening up that stigma with The Big Silence so that other people don't have to suffer in silence.” (21:01 | Karena Dawn) “Do you think people should cut family members out if they are narcissists? I think it depends on the situation. You're talking about situations where it was so bad; where your cortisol levels were through the roof to the point where you're getting skin rashes, which means your entire body's inflamed, right? And so this is why, obviously, why I wanted to have you on, but also for people to understand just how connected our mind and our bodies are.” (31:09 | Karena Dawn & Dr. Z) “Be a kid.

“It's a big problem in our society that women are just not believed the first time because people think they're trying to get attention or money,” Dr. Z explains, addressing the pervasive disbelief of women who report abuse. In this episode, she delves into how societal skepticism, particularly through the lens of recent high-profile cases such as P. Diddy and Cassie, can portray women who report abuse as seeking attention or financial gain. Dr. Z highlights eight multifaceted reasons that keep women stuck in abusive relationships: fear of escalated violence when leaving, financial dependency, lack of alternative shelter, minimal social support, inability to recognize the abuse as “abuse,” erosion of self-identity, unemployment, and concerns over child custody. These factors are compounded by the overall lack of societal support and understanding of domestic abuse. This episode calls for a societal shift to better support and believe abuse survivors the FIRST time. Quotes “We should believe women the first time. We're so caught up as a society in assuming that people are bad and lying. But I want people to understand that why on earth would somebody go through such a traumatic situation? And for what? Why?” (07:37 | Dr. Z) “You need to understand the absolute identity breakdown that occurs in these types of relationships. You are mentally brainwashed. You are not in a position to just leave. Think about cults for a second… When they leave, they have to be deprogrammed and they have to go through this whole rigorous process to alter their way of thinking that has been implanted in them for so long. So why is it so difficult for people to understand that that same process—maybe varied here and there—is exactly what happens in narcissistic abuse? That's the whole point. Control and manipulation—that's it.” (11:04 | Dr. Z) “This is why women don't come forward… You can tell I'm extremely passionate about this. I have been really angry at the Diddy/Cassie comments that I have been seeing, especially that ‘it takes two to tango.' That's one of the most ignorant comments I can think of.” (36:15 | Dr. Z) Links Sign Up for my LIVE Summer Support Group here: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“Once you see these patterns, you are going to see them everywhere,” says Dr. Z as she outlines the distinct playbook of narcissistic abuse. As you become increasingly aware of the narcissist's patterns, “you're going to know exactly what's going to happen, when they're going to do it, and how they're going to do it," she elaborates. In this episode, Dr. Z explores how individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often sabotage significant and meaningful events in the lives of those around them, revealing how this behavior, though common, is often overlooked and affects relationships with partners, friends, coworkers, and family members. Those with NPD will frequently (and deliberately) ruin special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, graduations, job promotions, even funerals. Their primary motive? To gain access to your emotions, diminish the importance of the occasion, and to obtain power and control over you and the situation itself. This can look like picking fights for no reason, deliberately giving inappropriate or unwanted gifts, feigning illness, lateness, excessive drinking, giving you the silent treatment, or even ignoring the occasion altogether. Recognizing these patterns is crucial for those entangled within a narcissistic abusive relationship as it allows you to better predict their behavior and form effective responses to protect your peace. Dr. Z offers actionable tips on setting boundaries and preparing for potential sabotage, including the use of fact-based responses only, maintaining neutral emotional responses, developing a set of alternative backup plans, and documenting any interactions in writing. She discusses in detail how gaining an in-depth understanding of this manipulation tactic can greatly minimize the impact it has on these important occasions. With awareness, preparation, and strategic planning, you can protect your joy, maintain control over important life events, and gain a tremendous sense of empowerment. Quotes “Narcissists routinely will do what they can to sabotage an event and a holiday—anything that's important to you.” (02:36 | Dr. Z) “If you know that on these important occasions, that something like this is going to happen, you can prepare. What does that look like? You can have a mantra that you're going to say if they make a comment to you. If they start an argument with you—we talk about gray rock, right?—you're going to become extremely neutral, fact-based, and boring. You are not going to engage them in their delusions, in their manipulation, in their gaslighting. You are not going to play the game. (28:47 | Dr. Z) “If you want to win the game, you go totally neutral. You do not allow them access to your emotions, to your thoughts, to the situation, to the behavior. You do not give them that. And you do that by having extremely neutral responses.” (29:31 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“Money is just the vehicle in which they do it,” explains Dr. Z, referring to “financial abuse,” a common manipulative tactic used by those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). In this episode, Dr. Z delves into the damaging impact of financial control in narcissistic abusive relationships, especially within marriages. She discusses how narcissists exploit financial dominance to manipulate their partners, emphasizing the need to identify and recognize these often subtle behaviors early in the relationship. Dr. Z explains how, particularly in the early stages of a relationship, these behaviors are frequently overlooked as being truly genuine. However, she warns that these seemingly generous acts are nothing more than love-bombing behaviors with the goal being to gain control over the other person. Dr. Z also provides examples of financially abusive behaviors including restricting their partner's access to funds, withholding money, extreme and unnecessary micromanaging of their spending, and running up debt in their partner's name without their knowledge- all of which create a significant financial dependency, leaving the person with very limited options to be able to exit the relationship. Dr. Z also offers crucial advice for those affected by financial abuse, suggesting various strategies to regain financial independence within these relationships. Quotes “In the beginning of a relationship, financial abuse starts as love bombing, in a sense... In the beginning stages of a relationship, it gives you a sense of comfort. It makes you believe that this other person is invested in you because they're making these long-term plans with you where your finances are interconnected.” (03:19 | Dr. Z) “It's not even about the money. It's the function of that behavior, withholding money or being in total control over it. That's what it's about. It's about control, manipulation, and power. Money is just the vehicle in which they do it.” (12:52 | Dr. Z) “One of the biggest reasons why people stay in these relationships is that financially, they cannot leave. They feel stuck.” (18:01 | Dr. Z) “Narcissists do not want you to be independent from them because it's less control for them, less power.” (19:37 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“The reason why it's important to know what the myths are about narcissistic abuse and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is so that we can formulate healthy, effective, boundaried responses,” explains Dr. Z as she offers essential insights and debunks five myths about NPD and narcissistic abuse. Dr. Z breaks down the misconception that narcissists routinely gravitate towards those with low self-esteem, poor self-image, and low self-confidence. She explains how narcissists actually prefer surrounding themselves with confident and successful people because stripping them of their autonomy and sense of self provides them with higher doses of power and control. She also clarifies that narcissists can in fact control their anger and rage and use it to strategically manipulate others. Dr. Z goes on to discuss how those with NDP are resistant to change, often resulting in an unwillingness to seek therapy or maintain any meaningful behavioral changes. By debunking these five common myths, Dr. Z aims to provide listeners with a clearer understanding of NPD to empower them and help them gain the skills to recognize and protect themselves from this abuse. Quotes “The reason why it's important to know what the myths are about narcissistic abuse and narcissistic personality disorder is so that we can formulate healthy, effective, boundaried responses. Because if we don't understand what's accurate or not with narcissistic personality disorder, it doesn't give us the opportunity to come up with some really effective strategies and ways to respond in these types of situations.” (01:27 | Dr. Z) “Can narcissists not control their anger? Narcissists are extremely skilled at controlling their anger and controlling their outbursts… A narcissist uses their anger as a manipulative strategy. They are very much aware of when they're angry, how they get angry, and to whom they're going to be angry at.” (14:51 | Dr. Z) “It's so important to understand these myths because you can see if you don't understand them, your responses to narcissistic behavior are really going to continue to just keep you stuck. And it's so important to be able to separate yourself from the myths and separate yourself from the unhealthy patterns so that you can see objectively what you need to do to remove yourself from the situation.” (41:11 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“Expect that you're going to get pushback from them, because you will,” says Terri Cole, about what can happen when establishing boundaries with others. Terri is a licensed psychotherapist and author of “Boundary Boss.” Together with host Dr. Z, they delve into the critical aspects of setting boundaries and managing interactions with a narcissistic parent. Terri defines boundaries as personal rules of engagement that communicate to others what behaviors you are willing, and not willing, to tolerate. Alongside Dr. Z, they explore the common challenges of setting boundaries, including the difficulty of maintaining them in the face of pushback. Terri also introduces a unique framework for categorizing what she refers to as "boundary offenders." They are: Boundary First-Timer, Repeat Offender, and Boundary Destroyer. Terri and Dr. Z also discuss the challenges of setting boundaries with narcissistic parents and the unique approaches required to effectively manage these extremely complex relationships. Red flags and common behavior patterns of narcissistic parenting are explored, including the use of emotional blackmail and competitiveness with their children. Tune in to this episode of “Next Up: Narcissism” to gain valuable insights into how to identify narcissistic parenting dynamics, strategies to establish and maintain effective boundaries, and how to protect your own mental health while fostering authentic and healthy relationships. Quotes “Your boundaries are comprised of your preferences, your desires, your limits, and your deal-breakers—your non-negotiables. So really think about what that is, preferences, desires, limits, and deal-breakers. It's not enough to know them, which a lot of people don't even know. You have to know them and then have the ability to clearly and concisely communicate them when you so choose.” (02:54 | Terri Cole) “This is what makes having healthy boundaries so complicated for people because even if you do spend enough time on yourself to know what your preferences are, knowing how to set a limit with someone else can be very challenging, because we're all raised and praised to be self-abandoning codependents.” (03:22 | Terri Cole) “The reason why boundaries are broken up into the categories that they are, according to me, is because they don't all carry the same weight.” (09:00 | Terri Cole) Links Connect with Terri Cole: terricole.com/workshop terricole.com/fatherwound https://boundarybossbook.com/ https://www.instagram.com/terricole/ Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
“It is such a buzzword right now, which is good and bad,” says Dr. Z of the word narcissism. “We hear the terms narcissism and narcissistic abuse everywhere.” In this debut episode of “Next Up: Narcissism,” Dr. Z, a licensed clinical psychologist and narcissistic abuse expert, reconnects with her listeners to establish her mission: to provide accurate information for understanding narcissism and its impact on relationships, untangling the complexities of narcissistic abuse. Delving into the ABCs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Dr. Z gives an overview of key concepts and behaviors linked to narcissism and narcissistic abuse. She discusses the narcissist's routine avoidance of accountability as well as their attempts to socially isolate their partner. She also explains concepts like gaslighting and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), a common strategy used to confuse and manipulate people into doubting their own reality. Dr. Z also discusses the absence of empathy within NPD and how this absence manifests into early relationship behaviors such as future faking and love bombing. Additional relational behaviors common to NPD such as hoovering and boundary violations disguised as "you're my soulmate" are also explained. This episode also touches on the harsh realization one faces as they come to truly understand the full extent of the abuse they have endured along with the often quiet suffering secondary to fear, shame, and isolation. Dr. Z aims to educate and empower her listeners with accurate knowledge, skills, and strategies to not only recognize the red flags of narcissistic abuse early on, but to also begin their healing process. Quotes “There are so many TikTok and Instagram therapists out there that aren't really therapists and giving inaccurate information. What I do think is essential to treatment when I'm working with somebody who is a survivor of narcissistic abuse are survivor stories. They are so unbelievably important in the journey of healing. In addition to survivor stories, you must make sure that the information you're getting, the treatment that you're getting, the suggestions that you're getting, and the strategies that you're getting are from a qualified mental health professional who is a specialist in this field.” (03:27 | Dr. Z) “We know narcissists are routinely avoiding accountability. They will not take accountability for any of their behaviors or the hurtful consequences of their behaviors. They just won't do it.” (07:04 | Dr. Z) “We care about other people. We care about their emotions. We want other people to be well. Narcissists don't—only if it benefits them. But again, it's fake empathy. Narcissists are amazing at faking empathy.” (13:41 | Dr. Z) “Hoovering is a calculated move in which the narcissist does something to suck you back into the abuse cycle.” (23:40 | Dr. Z) “Being in a relationship with somebody who has a narcissistic personality disorder, whether it's a parent, a friend, a colleague, your spouse, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, it doesn't matter. It's going to constantly feel like a yo-yo. It's a constant push and pull.” (54:50 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
Are you dating a narcissist, or is your partner just a jerk? Find out in this episode of “Next Up: Narcissism,” where Dr. Z, a licensed clinical psychologist and narcissistic abuse expert, outlines the key, underlying differences between behaviors that may be toxic in nature, versus those that are consistent with narcissistic abuse. Listeners will gain a better understanding of these differences along with practical strategies for how to navigate these behaviors. Dr. Z stresses the importance of understanding the underlying "why" of people's behaviors. While many unhealthy behaviors may look similar on the surface, she explains that the specific purpose of narcissistic abusive behavior is to obtain power and control over the other person. To help listeners identify narcissistic abusive behaviors, Dr. Z introduces the "boundary test." She suggests canceling plans, especially with a new dating partner, then observe their reaction. Healthy reactions would include appropriate disappointment or expressing understanding. However, when dating someone with NPD, you may see extreme anger, even more boundary violations such as showing up at your house unannounced, or other manipulative tactics such as ghosting. Dr. Z points out that the majority of people, when confronted with their mistakes (yes, even a "jerk"), will take accountability or at the very least be empathetic about any harm they may have caused others. A narcissist, however, will not only refuse to take accountability, but they will lack empathy for those they have hurt. If you're looking to better understand toxic relationship dynamics, or seeking tools to navigate them more effectively, tune in to this episode. Dr. Z offers essential insights and practical strategies that will empower you to make informed decisions about your relationships. Quotes “When I say function of behavior, what I mean is the underlying ‘why.' Why did that person do X behavior? Why, at this very moment, did the person do what they did? Because we know with narcissistic personality disorder—the behaviors that they engage in—the underlying reason behind them is for power and control.” (01:47 | Dr. Z) “You don't need to have a reason. And that reason does not need to be narcissistic abuse to leave the relationship.” (04:19 | Dr. Z) “The function of a narcissist's behavior is always going to have to do with power, control, manipulation, right? We talk about all those three things—getting supply, getting attention, having the focus be back on them, having them be relevant, or having them feel big and powerful. That's the function of their behavior.” (16:40 | Dr. Z) Links Connect with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Dr. Jaime Zuckerman is a licensed clinical psychologist, media pro, author, podcast host, and nationally-recognized expert on narcissism and recovery from narcissistic abuse. We discuss: New Year's Resolutions: How they're made, the psychology behind them, and why we just can't seem to quit them year over year. Plus, why these come up so frequently for Dr. Z in private practice/with her population of clients, and the similarities/differences between individuals' unique New Year's resolutions The top mistakes people make when making New Year's Resolutions: Why Dr. Z thinks most of them are too broad, too difficult, set-up for failure, and generally don't reflect the realities of someone's everyday life. How to set up a New Year's resolution that'll actually work for you: What the “key ingredients” of a good resolution actually are; why you need structures & systems in place to turn your best laid plans into real life action, and what to do when you feel like you have “no time” or “no bandwidth” for your specific goals What actually inspires individuals to make their first appointment with a licensed clinical psychologist and/or registered dietitian (like Dr. Z & me, respectfully) and why the answer to this is more surprising & nuanced than you might think How Dr. Z counsels someone to approach goal-setting & actualization without creating increased anxiety/depression, setting oneself up to failure, or falling into the trap of setting goals that are misaligned with your values. 2023 therapy trends to say goodbye to forever– what are they, where did they come from, why Dr. Z thinks they've gained traction on social media, and a little trend forecasting on the biggest therapy trends for 2024 (which ones are legit vs. not this year).

In this week's episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, my guest is psychologist, relationship coach, and nationally known expert on narcissism, Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, also known as Dr. Z. She works with people nationwide, helping them understand the complexities of narcissistic relationships, providing tools and customized behavior plans to help people make healthy choices. As you may have guessed from the bio, today's topic is narcissism. “Because of how a narcissist operates, it is very rare they are going to go into therapy. It's just not going to happen. Unless it's court mandated or it's a custody dispute, or substance abuse. They are rarely going to go into therapy. And if they do go into therapy, it's usually with somebody else like their partner, and they manipulate the sessions. It's very rare that you find a narcissist who stays in therapy and does the work. It is a personality disorder.” Dr. Zuckerman (03:33) Dr. Z and I have a thorough conversation about this mental condition, how narcissistic people think, react, and behave and why many people self-diagnose or misdiagnose themselves or another as being a narcissist. The topic is a sensitive one yet to add levity, the conversation at times, takes on a humorous tone, but the topic of discussion remains unchanged as we delve further into how narcissistic people view the world and perceive their surroundings. “You are an object to them. You don't have a separate mind, values, opinions. You're an object and you're in the way. Narcissists look at people as objects and they have a distinct purpose and once that purpose is done, you're done.” Dr. Zuckerman – (30:55) A big part of our discussion talks about relationships. So many people find themselves in narcissistic relationships and they are uncertain as to how to move forward especially with kids involved. They even start to doubt their own judgements and decisions, something that Dr. Z talks about at length in today's episode. “A deliberate attempt to make the other person crazy. It's an attempt to make the other person not only doubt their own thinking, but they start to not trust their own judgment, they start to not trust other people's judgment. They only trust the narcissistic partner's judgment. So, their reality is shaped and formed literally by the narcissistic telling them what is true and what isn't true.” Dr. Zuckerman – (33:41) In This Episode: (01:34) Talking about different medical courses doctors take. (02:55) Do narcissists know they are a narcissist? (03:32) Is narcissism a mental illness issue? (04:59) What type of therapy works for narcissism? (07:10) Are people born narcissists? (10:40) Is there a narcissist gene? (15:40) The dilemma of self-diagnosis. (20:00) Discussing medications and their side effects. (27:50) Do narcissists struggle with anxiety and panic? (28:30) The difference between sociopaths and narcissists. (32:12) Is gaslighting a symptom? (38:05) The age when narcissism can be diagnosed. (41:31) Getting out of a narcissistic relationship. (51:47) Talking John Fetterman and general politics. (56:10) Talking about having and raising kids. (57:21) On whether Dr. Z had an imaginary friend. Our Guest Dr. Jaime Zuckerman is a nationally known expert on narcissism. She is a narcissistic abuse relationship coach and licensed clinical psychologist. Dr. Z works with people nationwide, helping them to understand the complexities of narcissistic relationships, providing tools to navigate these dynamics and offering customized behavior plans to help her clients make healthy choices and get to where they want to be.

Mental health care is in high demand right now, and there aren't enough therapists to meet the need. A lot of people have turned to mental health apps - but is that really therapy? It's a start, but do these apps provide the level of help patients need? Plus, some people have concerns over privacy and therapist burnout when apps are involved. So we asked clinical psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman to help us understand the pros and cons of therapy apps, what to look out for, and how to find the mental health care that's best for you.

A relationship with a narcissist can feel like a never-ending cycle. At one moment, you always feel like you're in the wrong. Anger ignites inside of you. But in the next moment, you're showered with gifts and affection. You shut down your initial feelings, but then the same things happen again. If you find yourself in a relationship with a narcissist, it's never your fault. Narcissism exists on a continuum of varying degrees, making it difficult to pinpoint the red flags. However, Dr. Jaime Zuckerman is here to dissect the warning signs and the most effective ways to break free from the abuse. Tune in to this episode on Narcissistic Relationship Abuse with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️Spot the fairytale tactic. Dr. Jaime Zuckerman explains that even people of high stature aren't immune to falling into the trap. One of the methods of a narcissist is labeling you as a soulmate on day one. It's innately human to feel enamored, but be warned: It's unusual and toxic. ✔️ Set an exit strategy. The destruction of a complex, layered relationship puts you at risk of physical and psychological harm that narcissists are capable of. Make sure you have somewhere safe to flee and reach out to as many people as you can. ✔️Rebuild your self-esteem. Getting therapy is crucial. Victims of narcissistic abuse start to feel like a shell of their former selves. Being deprived of choice for so long, choosing a song to listen to or a dress to wear becomes extremely difficult. ✔️A relationship with a narcissist is a tightly spun web. Their behavioral patterns tend to be like spoiled food wrapped in a pretty package. Most of the time, victims don't even know they're abused. ✔️Narcissism is a cycle built on intermittent reinforcement. Every move a narcissist makes is calculated. Find the right moment to step back and evaluate the situation. You don't have to endure this for longer. You have the power to escape. ✔️You can't fix a narcissist. Period. End of story. Ready to start dating again? Surround yourself with supportive individuals a.k.a. “relationship checkers”. Stop chasing potential. Be educated to avoid falling into the same trap. Dr. Jaime Zuckerman respects how difficult it can be for people to seek treatment. In her practice, she creates a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to help you feel better, do better and ultimately, live better. Dr. Zuckerman specializes in the treatment of adults presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, adjustment to chronic medical conditions as well as everyday life stressors. These difficulties can greatly impact your ability and willingness to enjoy life, connect with loved ones, and effectively function in your daily life. As a trained Cognitive Behavior therapist, Dr. Zuckerman uses only interventions that have been proven effective by empirical research. She will assist you in the development of emotional coping skills, help you identify unproductive patterns of behavior that are keeping you "stuck" and replace them with more adaptive styles of interacting. Using various mindfulness-based techniques, she helps patients become more objective to their own worrisome thoughts and internal negative self-talk. You will incorporate your personal strengths into your therapy and work together to improve self-esteem and overall personal growth. _______________________________________ Connect with Wendy Sterling: Website: https://wendysterling.net/ Instagram: @divorcerehabwithwendy Twitter: @thedivorcerehab Facebook: @wendytsterling Need an opportunity to share your pain points and receive judgment-free support?

Let's take a dive into the topic of toxic positivity and the negative effects it has on us. Clinical psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman shared with Health Line, "toxic positivity is the assumption, either by one's self or others, that despite a person's emotional pain or difficult situation, they should only have a positive mindset." It's something that the more I study it, the more apologetic I become. Sometimes, I may have been toxically positive and for that I apologize. Now, I'm working to flee from those "good vibes only" ideals and learn to really tap into what people need to hear. Sometimes what we need to hear is short-term destructive but long-term positive. Sounds a bit convoluted, I'm aware. Just hit play and we can rap about it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/livebw/support
The coronavirus pandemic upended our lives in just about every way -- including socially. A lot of people have been basically stuck in their homes for the better part of a year, and it's going to be a bit of a culture shock when this is over and people are vaccinated and it's time to get back to life as we knew it. So how do you prepare yourself to do that? Extroverts might be raring to go, but what about for people on the other side of social anxiety -- what kind of effect did a year of isolation have on them? And what's the long term collateral damage going to be once we can take a step back and check in on our collective mental health? Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, a clinical psychologist based in Ardmore, PA joins KYW Newsradio in Depth to help unpack the challenges of getting back to normal after the massive societal trauma of the coronavirus pandemic.

Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, a clinical psychologist based in Ardmore, PA joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what our phones are doing to us, what happens when we get too reliant on our devices, and why all of this is completely intentional.

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!Thank you so much for joining me again!Happy Wednesday!This week's theme for the podcast is: Important RemindersThis week I want to give you thoughts that you should be reminding yourself of on the regular for being on that journey to become your best self & live your life with as much ease as you can get.These reminders will also be helpful during this super busy week of the year, leading us up to Christmas. This holiday can be stressful enough as it is, so there is no need to add in any extra introspective thoughts, but don't count next week out! These important reminders will also push you to take of yourself first more often than not.Here are some notes from today's episode:You don't need to feel bad about how you are feeling & coping with whatever is going on in your life. Everyone has periods of their lives where things are hard & emotions will cling & drag you down.I believe that part of the reason we all feel like not being ok is a bad thing is because there is societal pressure to keep it to ourselves, not drag anyone else down with us & don't expose your emotions for fear of burdening someone else.There is also the aspect of perfectionism & people pleasing that can cause people to pretend like everything is ok.I think this is one of the most dangerous things to do because if you are dealing with really heavy things & don't reach out for help & no one else knows, you could fall into a deep depression & convince yourself to do regrettable things.There is an article on Psychology Today by Hannah Rose that talks about how we need to show up for every single emotion, no matter how painful, or we are destined to continually manifest those experiences in our lives until we deal with it. I believe this is absolutely true.It's also part of the reason we drag around our emotional baggage from relationship to relationship to season of life. We don't take the time to properly deal with it.I think we need to normalize that it's ok to struggle & be unhappy & be sad & not smile.Clinical therapist Jaime Zuckerman talks about the idea of “toxic positivity” & how that is related to the inability of normalizing feeling our true feelings.It's the idea that despite what we are going through, we should always try to force positive thoughts & vibes & have a positive mindset. By doing this, we end up invalidating our true feelings, making our emotional state worse because we are allowing the pain & hurt to get even deeper & validating that it isn't ok to not be ok, which isn't true.I also want to mention that on the flip side, if someone you know is dealing with something tough, you shouldn't just tell them it's going to be ok. Instead or in addition to that, you should let them know it's ok for them to feel the way they are feeling. We all have thoughts & emotions & there is nothing wrong with that. It's more about how we act on those thoughts & feelings.Don't be the person that just tells someone to “buck up” or “just get over it” because that doesn't help anyone work through their pain & discomfort.Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.Come visit me on my Instagram page @realpositivegirlpodcast or @sabrinajoyperozzo to say hi!Have any questions, comments or feedback?
