In this episode I sit down with Wendy Behary, one of the world's leading experts on narcissism with over 30 years of experience, founder of The Cognitive Therapy Center of New Jersey, and author of the international bestseller Disarming the Narcissist, selected by Oprah Daily as one of the top books on the subject and now in its third edition translated into 18 languages. Wendy cuts through the myths that flood the internet around narcissism, explains the real difference between narcissistic traits and narcissistic personality disorder, and shares what she has learned from three decades of sitting in the room with both narcissists and the people who love them. We talk about when to stay, when to leave, what healing actually looks like for a narcissist, how to build your healthy adult self, and how to regulate your nervous system when you are living in close proximity to someone deeply volatile.This is one of the most clear, grounded, and genuinely rare conversations I have had on this topic,and I learned an enormous amount.Connect with Wendy:https://www.instagram.com/donsanddivashttps://disarmingthenarcissist.com/https://www.schematherapytrainingonline.com/p/empathic-confrontation-wendy-beharyhttps://courses.schematherapytrainingonline.com/p/empathic-confrontation-wendy-beharyWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support: https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinatriner.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinatriner.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinatriner.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinatriner.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinatriner.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinatriner.com/resources CONNECT WITH ME:Follow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marinatriner/ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"It's not your fault that you are the way you are — but it is your responsibility, if you want to be responsible, to work on this." — Wendy Behary"You don't have to be angry all the time to justify your position.

In this video, I explain the “reverse discard”. When a narcissist emotionally gets rid of you, treats you horribly, and pushes you to end the relationship so they can play the victim and move on fast. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I walk through how they disconnect from you, rage, nitpick everything you do, and then say “You broke up with me” to justify a new partner, a fairytale romance, or an affair that's already been waiting in the wings. You'll learn why they still try to control you after you leave, refuse to let you move on, and expect you to stay single while they start a whole new relationship. If you're wondering whether you should “go along” with a reverse discard, I'll talk about when leaving is healthy and why you shouldn't stay where you're clearly not wanted—while still protecting your legal and safety rights. Go where you're wanted, not where you're merely tolerated, and protect yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.All My Links (Coaching, Courses, Merch): https://link.me/mentalhealnessBook a Coaching Session Here - https://link.me/mentalhealness
Have you ever discovered narcissism in your relationship, started reading everything you could find, and then panicked — wondering if you were the one who created the pattern you were seeing? In this episode of the Covert Narcissism Podcast, Renee Swanson opens up about a fear she's never shared before: the worry that dwelling on covert narcissism had somehow manifested it in her marriage. She walks through the exact passages from Eleanor Payson's The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists that jumped off the page at her early in her journey, and why recognition is not the same thing as manifestation. This episode covers covert narcissism, narcissistic abuse recovery, the difference between normal self-centeredness and a true narcissistic pattern, and the safeguard Renee uses to answer one simple question: does this person ever return to baseline? If you've ever doubted your own perception of narcissistic abuse in your own marriage or family, this conversation will help you trust what you already know. If you've been listening, learning, and starting to see the patterns — but still feel stuck in the same cycles — that's not because you're missing information. It's because this isn't something you're meant to untangle alone. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I invite you to join me in my coaching program at www.covertnarcissism.com.

I saw a video this week that said people who lack empathy are garbage, and it triggered me into a rabbit hole about narcissism. This will be confrontational and controversial, but really my goal is to give you an alternate perspective on how this is defined in our culture and the dynamics that are created by both partners. I get into why the person giving and giving is also being selfish, and how/why your resentment is an indicator. I walk through a listener situation where the guy starts to distance himself after he gets emotionally vulnerable. I'll give you my take on why this happens and how to let go when it does. Remember, empathy is not responsibility.Ready to break the pattern, apply to work with me: https://confidencechris.com/mentorship-applicationChapters: 0:00 Narcissists vs Victims34:07 When Empathy Goes Too Far37:47 Handling Resentment45:44 Angry When Someone Stops Choosing You52:29 Listener's Situation: Distance After Getting Too Close

In this video, I break down the main differences between an overt narcissist and a covert narcissist, two faces of the same disorder that show up very differently in relationships. Overt (grandiose) narcissists are loud, attention‑seeking and openly entitled, while covert (vulnerable) narcissists are more introverted, sensitive, passive‑aggressive and often hide their self‑importance behind fake humility or a victim mentality. Drawing on clinical research about grandiose vs vulnerable narcissism and my own perspective as a diagnosed narcissist, we'll compare how each type rages, manipulates, plays the victim and reacts to criticism. If you've ever wondered why one narcissist brags nonstop and another seems shy, anxious or “too sensitive,” this video will help you see the shared core and the surface differences. You'll leave with clear red flags and language to describe which type you're dealing with and why both can be equally damaging.Book a Coaching Session Here - https://link.me/mentalhealness
Milwaukee pop punk band Gold Steps stopped by Fox Cities Core on WCZR Code Zero Radio during their first-ever Mile of Music appearance in Appleton, WI!

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with a narcissist feeling completely drained — more confused, more anxious, and somehow more responsible for their emotions than you were before? Do you find yourself over-explaining, endlessly apologizing, or desperately trying to make them understand — only to end up exhausted and no closer to peace? If so, you are not broken. You were conditioned to respond that way. And these 7 phrases can begin to change that. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano — breakthrough life coach and expert educator on codependency recovery and narcissistic abuse healing — shares 7 specific communication phrases that help you disengage from emotional manipulation, protect your nervous system, and reclaim your autonomy without escalating conflict. These are not scripts designed to win an argument with a narcissist. They are exits. And knowing where the exits are changes everything. This is not about controlling the narcissist. It is about governing what you are willing to participate in. In This Episode You'll Discover:

When you marry a covert narcissist, you may not realize that you are being assigned a full-time job: Keep him praised, pleased, protected, admired, and emotionally supplied at all times. The covert narcissist may appear quiet, humble, sensitive, or misunderstood to everyone else. But behind closed doors, he expects you to build your entire life around him. Here are 10 demands commonly placed on the covert narcissist's "cheerleader": 1. Constant attention He expects your time, focus, and immediate interest in everything he says. 2. Total devotion He does not simply want love. He wants to become the center of your world. 3. Endless praise You are expected to celebrate every idea, accomplishment, and opinion—whether it deserves praise or not. 4. Complete submission Disagreement is treated as disrespect. Independence is viewed as rebellion. 5. Affection on demand Your comfort, health, and emotional readiness may be ignored because his wants always come first. 6. Reverence disguised as respect Healthy mutual respect is not enough. He expects admiration without accountability. 7. Immediate attention to his needs You are expected to anticipate what he wants before he even asks. 8. Acceptance of blame Every problem in his life, your marriage, or the family somehow becomes your fault. 9. Agreement with everything he believes He must always be right, while your perspective is dismissed or mocked. 10. A cheerful attitude at all times He can complain, criticize, and rage—but you are expected to smile and remain pleasant. No spouse can meet these impossible standards. Yet the more you try, the more exhausted, confused, and invisible you become. Your feelings, needs, pain, dreams, and opinions slowly disappear because your entire identity has been reduced to supplying the narcissist. That is not mutual love. That is covert narcissistic abuse.

Heartbreak to Wholeness: Untangling the Mindf*ck of Narcissistic Relationships
Did you leave — and then immediately second guess if you made the right decision?If you've physically walked away but your mind is still stuck in the relationship, running mental pro/con lists at 6am and replaying his words at midnight, you're not broken — you're in what I call the "special hell" of leaving without being able to actually leave.Here's what you'll walk away with:Why trusting your decision has nothing to do with thinking harder about it — and everything to do with your nervous systemThe real math on how much of your life indecision is quietly stealing (hint: it's a freaking lot)What fear is actually lurking beneath the ping-ponging — and why no pro/con list can touch itIf you're tired of spending a third of your year arguing with yourself over a decision you've already made, hit play — your nervous system will thank you.QUICK LINKS FROM EPISODE:Schedule your free Intro Session: https://freeintrosession-pa.youcanbook.me/RESOURCES FOR YOUR HEALING:
In this episode, I'm talking about why self-blame becomes almost automatic when you've been in an emotionally abusive or coercively controlling relationship, and why it feels like relief even when it's actually costing you.I get into the nervous system science behind it, specifically how fawning works, how your brain gets wired to connect calm with compliance, and why that wiring doesn't just disappear when the relationship ends. If you have ever cried the whole drive home because you didn't apologize, this one is for you. I also walk through some concrete ways to start interrupting the pattern, because healing from this is not about flipping a switch. It is about catching yourself in small moments, again and again, until a different kind of calm starts to feel possible.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

Trying to explain your feelings to a narcissist is like trying to explain color to someone who refuses to open their eyes, most of them don't respect your emotions or your boundaries, they respect consequences. In this video, I break down three things that could actually make a narcissist think twice: the no‑explanation boundary, the immediate if/then consequence, and emotional indifference when they test your limits. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I show you how long explanations become a roadmap to argue with you, why an unenforced boundary is just a speed bump, and how removing emotional reactions turns you into a “high‑cost, low‑reward” target. If you're tired of setting boundaries that get ignored, this video will give you language, leverage, and practical examples to help you hold the line safely. Remember: be the wall, not the mirror because nothing changes if nothing changes.Contact me here - https://link.me/mentalhealness

Narcissists don't see reality the way you do. Their grandiose sense of self can twist into a delusion so deep it starts to resemble psychosis — distorting truth, denying facts, and rewriting events to protect their fragile ego. In this video, you'll learn how covert narcissism fuels this disconnection from reality, why they truly believe their own lies, and how to recognize when a narcissist's delusion has crossed a line you need to take seriously. If you're trying to understand the mind of a narcissist and protect your own sense of reality in the process, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need.#narcissism #narcissisticdelusions #crazyhttps://youtu.be/eBAvqDIzz7c

In this video, I speak directly to the people who keep taking a narcissistic partner back, hoping that one day they'll finally pick you, appreciate your sacrifices and see your worth. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I explain why putting up with cheating, lies, abuse and low effort does not make you more valuable to them, it makes you more expendable, and why they resent you for seeing them at their worst. You'll hear how narcissists view you as a placeholder, why a “diamond in the wrong hands is just a paperweight,” and why they often discard the very person who helped them level up in life. If you've paid their bills, helped them get degrees, raised kids and still got abandoned, this video will give you language and perspective to understand what really happened and why their inability to value you is about them, not your worth. I'll also give you homework: to ask yourself why being picked by this person feels so important, so you can start choosing yourself instead.Contact me here - https://link.me/mentalhealness

RJ Spina, a metaphysician who healed himself from chest-down "permanent" paralysis, reveals that suffering isn't real—only your mistaken ownership of a character that was never truly you. From being told he had 48 hours to live to feeling pure joy while his body broke down, RJ shows that liberation comes when you stop identifying with your thoughts, pain, and story. He witnessed agonizing pain without suffering, proving that you are the awareness watching the storm, not the storm itself.Using metaphors like the sun (untouched by weather) and the time-lapse camera (unaffected by the fire it records), he explains that healing isn't a process—it's an instant release of crystallized identity. The ego mind keeps you trapped by turning everything into a drawn-out journey, but letting go can happen in a single second.We explore why narcissists are a separate genus of being designed as catalysts for your evolution, why the soul deliberately chooses trauma for accelerated growth, why unconditional love is actually a spiritual control agenda, the one-second meditation technique, why pain and pleasure are identical sensations at higher consciousness, and how manifesting wealth operates through the exact same inner mechanics as healing your body.Your character gets traumatized—but you, the I AM, have never been touched. Will you keep rearranging furniture in the same room, or finally step out of the house entirely?___
If you are an empath or highly sensitive person, narcissists do not find you by accident — and the covert narcissist in particular is an expert at this. Quietly observing, the covert narcissist zeros in on your compassion and uses it to manipulate, control and keep you stuck. In this video, Narc Con breaks down exactly how they do it. Narc Con is one of Ireland's only dedicated narcissism awareness channels, covering covert narcissism, narcissistic personality disorder, gaslighting, love bombing, manipulation tactics, emotional manipulation, empaths and narcissists, no contact, and toxic relationship dynamics.#narcissism #empathy #manipulation https://youtu.be/9L_E_yPQzLYSubscribe for straight-talking NPD content that gives you the clarity you deserve.COACHING Enquiries - narcscon@gmail.com
In this video, I break down why ignoring your intuition around narcissistic and toxic people almost always ends in regret. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I share real coaching stories of hidden families, “just best friends” who were more than friends, and the way manipulators override your gut feeling with charm, lies and love‑bombing. You'll learn why no one is ever “thrilled” they ignored red flags, how lust and physical attraction can fry your brain, and why bedroom discipline and boundaries are crucial in today's dating world. If you keep telling yourself “something feels off, but they're so attractive,” this video will give you language, validation and practical insight to finally trust your intuition.

In this episode I step into the space between pop psychology and biblical counseling and ask whether we can study the brain without surrendering the soul. We talk about why "your truth" makes a terrible savior, why "just pray harder" is lazy counsel, and how neuroscience is catching up to what Scripture has said all along about taking your thoughts captive and renewing your mind. I also share why Dr. Lee Warren's work on self-brain surgery has been so helpful to me.

In today's episode I'm joined again by Ainslie MacLeod, a past life psychic who works with spirit guides to help people find their purpose and heal what they have carried in from other lifetimes. We talk about the shift in consciousness happening right now, why old souls are feeling the state of the world so heavily, and the pattern almost every empath will recognise: the narcissist does not create your wound, they find one that is already there and keep pressing on it.Ainslie explains why healing that fear at the past life level changes what you attract, and why fight, flight, freeze and fawn are old fears being triggered rather than proof something is wrong with you. We get into boundaries that hold once the calm settles, his course for empaths recovering from narcissistic abuse, and his new podcast Psychics Not Saints, which came out of being over the performance of spirituality. I bring it back to Human Design too: the solar plexus mutation, the deconditioning we all need around hard work, and why joy is not the reward at the end, it is the point.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxAinslie's Details:Website: soulworld.comPodcast: Psychics Not Saints, psychicsnotsaints.comBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

The Narcissist Wants You to Believe This Lie Have you ever confronted a narcissist with undeniable proof, only to have them deny everything, twist the facts, or completely rewrite what happened? If you've ever left a conversation wondering, "Did that really happen the way I remember it?" or "Am I losing my mind?"—you're not alone. In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history, and more importantly, how you can protect your sanity without getting pulled into their distorted version of reality. You'll learn why narcissists often refuse to acknowledge the truth, how gaslighting and history rewriting are used to maintain control, and why trying to convince them to admit the truth usually leads to more confusion and emotional exhaustion. Most importantly, you'll discover six biblical principles to help you stay grounded in reality, strengthen your emotional resilience, and keep your peace—even when someone is determined to manipulate your perception of the truth. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why narcissists lie, deny, and rewrite history • How gaslighting slowly erodes your confidence • The real reason narcissists avoid accountability • What DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) looks like in real life • How narcissists use selective memory and confabulation to manipulate others • Six practical ways to stay anchored in truth and protect your sanity • Biblical encouragement for overcoming deception and emotional manipulation • Why you don't have to accept someone else's distorted reality If you're dealing with a narcissistic spouse, parent, adult child, sibling, coworker, or friend, this episode will help you recognize destructive patterns, remain emotionally grounded, and walk in truth instead of confusion. Remember: You are not crazy. You are not alone. God sees the truth, and He is with you every step of the way. ---
THIS Is How God Will Vindicate You When They Smear YouHave you been painted as the villain while someone else spreads half-truths, twisted narratives, or outright lies? If so, you're not alone.In this episode, we explore how God responds to smear campaigns and why His silence is often part of a much bigger process. Through the story of Joseph, you'll discover the three phases of biblical vindication: exposure, separation of truth from illusion, and ultimate elevation. You'll learn why chasing every accusation rarely brings peace, and how God works behind the scenes to reveal truth in His timing.If you're exhausted from defending yourself and wondering when God will step in, this episode will help you trust His process and find freedom from the need to control the narrative.Watch next:
In this video, I tackle one of the most painful questions survivors ask: “Did they ever really care about me, or was it all fake?” As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I explain how narcissistic people can have a limited emotional capacity, why some can only give you all the 'love they have' and why that still doesn't excuse abuse. We'll talk about why you stayed, why they put in such low effort, and how self‑love and boundaries matter more than trying to squeeze real love out of someone who can't give it. If you've built a whole life with a toxic person and now feel like it was all a lie, this video will give you language, perspective, and validation for your healing. Stay to the end for a reminder that you DID matter and why their limitations don't define your worth.Book a Coaching Session: [https://link.me/mentalhealness]

In this video, I break down why narcissists hate it when you block them everywhere—phone, text, social media and email and why their reaction is NOT your fault. As a clinically diagnosed, self‑aware narcissist, I explain how blocking cuts off their narcissistic supply, triggers a massive ego injury, and exposes their need for control. You'll learn what to expect when you go no contact, how they might rage, hoover, or smear you, and why those behaviors are actually proof that your boundaries are working. If you're scared to block a toxic ex, parent or friend, this video will give you clarity, language and validation to protect your mental health.

Why is being a “ride or die” for a narcissistic or toxic partner is one of the worst decisions you can make, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who's watched survivors emotionally die in these relationships. We'll talk about how narcissists play the victim to hook your empathy, convince you that everyone has abandoned them, and turn your loyalty into a one‑way street where you sacrifice friends, family, and boundaries while they give you nothing back. I'll explain the difference between a real ride‑or‑die bond (symbiotic, both people benefit) and the parasitic version with a narcissist, where your emotional “gold mine” gets pillaged until you barely recognize yourself. If you've ever felt like you were riding till you die for someone who wouldn't cross the street for you, this video will help you name what's happening, stop confusing exploitation for loyalty, and start choosing your own life over their chaosBook a Coaching Session: [https://link.me/mentalhealness]
