“I'm just putting myself first, is that narcissistic?” “Am I being selfish or setting a boundary?” “I think I might be a narcissist.” Sound familiar? If you've asked yourself any of these questions, take a deep breath. You're probably not a narcissist. But the fact that you're even wondering is worth unpacking, because somewhere between healthy self-love and full-blown Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), things get murky. So let's clear it up. Today we're digging into the difference between being self-focused (a good thing), being selfish (sometimes good, sometimes not), and having narcissistic traits or full-blown NPD (not great). Then, you'll learn my five action steps for building healthy self-love without going overboard.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/are-you-a-narcissist-and-dont-know-it-the-truth-about-healthy-selfishness-vs-narcissistic-personality-disorderTake the Quiz!

In this episode, you will explore 10 distinct forms of narcissistic manipulation tactics and the true agenda of a narcissist with whom you must engage, communicate, parent, and resolve issues. Those who display narcissistic traits often do not recognize themselves as narcissists. Instead, they tend to hold on to their grand illusions of themselves or see themselves as the victims of others. When they are up, it is because they believe others see them as the best, smartest, most beautiful, creative or talented. When they are down, that is because they feel victimized by evidence that someone, maybe you, no longer feed into their grand illusions of themselves. Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach, Award winning author, meditation teacher, course creator, and podcast host, is on a mission to awaken those who live below the veil of consciousness, and who are in toxic, enmeshed, codependent, subjugating relationships with those who are either narcissists, or who have high narcissistic traits. As an adult daughter of narcissistic and codependent parents, and as someone who escaped the undertow of a toxic marriage herself, she understands that the first step in healing from a narcissistic relationship is recognizing the signs that you are actually in a narcissistic relationship.

Ross Rosenberg introduces the term "Valentine's Day Narcissist," describing it as an individual with one of three pathological narcissistic disorders—Borderline, Antisocial, or Narcissistic Personality Disorder—and their manipulative behaviors specifically exhibited on Valentine's Day. He explains that their primary tactic involves "love bombing," a form of gaslighting, to win over those with self-love deficit disorder, also known as codependency. Through this strategy, they craft an image of themselves as devoted and affectionate partners, while in reality, their actions are anything but loving.The Self-Love Recovery Institute's Self-Love Mailbag is mentioned in the podcast.

As a psychotherapist, Vanessa has extensive experience with narcissism based on her own encounter with a narcissist in her personal life and so she offers not just the clinical perspective, but an extreme and very exclusive story of abuse. She has developed a coaching program based on her own experience and what helped her to recover from her psychological trauma after fleeing from her narcissist in the middle of the night. Her practice works to educate you on narcissism and what/who you are actually dealing with; Narcissism is categorized as a personality disorder by the mental health profession and is referred to as NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but it is FAR bigger than what is stated clinically in the DSM-V and few people are diagnosed because few people go to therapy. Vanessa ran across the state of New York in a wedding dress to raise awareness about narcissistic abuse. In this episode, she shares her unique perspective on narcissism and cults, the brain damage caused by narcissistic abuse & trauma and actionable tips for survivors.

Happy New Year, Brainiacs! It's 2025 and Sarah is feeling alive and as usual she is optimistic about this year. Which means it will be a great year (or not! who knows!) We learn how listening to certain songs can reframe your memories and why you might prefer sad songs when you're feeling blue, but maybe you should resist the urge. We discuss Nick Cannon's recent narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis and how it's the least surprising diagnosis ever. We learn about the Glitter and Greed documentary about Lisa Frank, the woman and the business. And we consider why some of the best businesses, athletes, and artists are usually forged through cruel mentors, bosses, coaches and parents, and how we reconcile those things. Susie explains how menstrual cycles can affect athletes and make them more prone to injury, and how taking oral contraceptives has a dramatic effect on whether they get hurt. We hear about a man who was on death row longer than anyone else, and the fact that he was WRONGFULLY CONVICTED, and how it drove him insane.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Visit https://cozyearth.com and use my exclusive 40% off code BRAINCANDY See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Would narcissists relinquish their narcissism if given the opportunity? Do most narcissists know that they suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?

What an interesting episode to record. Apparently, Nick Cannon has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He recently came out with his NPD diagnosis and I have a lot of thoughts. 1. This is SO important that he came out publicly. 2. I didn't love the video clip response to his coming out, but perhaps I'm a bit biased. Either way, this is important dialogue that we NEED celebrities, authors, influencers, and well known individuals to talk about. When people come out with their disorders, those of us with highly stigmatized diagnoses become less hidden. One person at a time.

Actor Nick Cannon recently discussed how he has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I almost think that's just a dressed up way of saying that he's selfish. The brotha was recently challenged with his low functioning behavior after he fathered 12 different kids with six different women. In this episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex talks about the importance of “Locking Your Family Up” and being the “Daddy” that God has called you to be. Both of these are chapters in his book, Man UP. Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

If a family member suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder or displays significant narcissistic tendencies, the holidays can mean great chaos and calamity. During the season, there are more opportunities for narcissists to display their most egregious behaviors. Narcissists have a hard time celebrating the big events of others. If there's a holiday gathering on the calendar, they will try to make themselves the center of attention through whatever means most natural and effective. Narcissists feel that holidays steal the spotlight that they, themselves, should own. Narcissists either try to grab it back by boasting and strong-arming everyone's attention. Alternatively, they will sabotage the celebratory mood for other people. Tune in and learn all about how narcissists destroy holidays and gatherings and how to defend yourself!

Www.weaponizedlove.com - all Narc Con Support ServicesThe intimate relationship with a covert narcissist and its analysis is a great place to start when studying the Narcissistic Personality Disorder in its must fulsome incorporation of most of the typical behaviours of narcissistic individuals. The Narcissist's behaviour cycle of love bombing, devaluation, discard and hoover, in conjunction with an array of malignant manipulations to gain control of their target/source of narcissistic supply are easily recognisable in the intense romantic relationship. The Narcissist offers their partner all of their dreams on a platter under the guise of a fair, loving and democratic relationship structure, however, once in a position of control, the target understands that they are actually in the grip of a loathsome dictatorship. This false advertising and subsequent revelations of the con the Narcissist pulled to gain a vote of support, witnessed in a one to one relationship is also identifiable on a bigger public stage in our world today. Once you understand the true nature of a narcissist, a public narcissist is easier to spot. They thrive on causing division and will frequently gaslight the narrative to cause as much chaos as is possible particularly when their attempts to gain control are unsuccessful.https://youtu.be/VlTo6bmiZfADisclaimer: This YouTube channel provides information for educational purposes only.

Sarah Boone Trial: Forensic Psychiatrist Confirms Battered Spouse Syndrome, Adds Complexity to Defense In the ongoing Orlando trial of Sarah Boone, accused of second-degree murder in the 2020 death of her boyfriend Jorge Torres, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Tonia Werner confirmed Thursday that Boone suffers from Battered Spouse Syndrome (BSS). This condition is central to Boone's defense, as her attorneys claim Boone's actions were driven by trauma stemming from previous violence between her and Torres. Werner, called as a rebuttal witness by the prosecution, noted that BSS alone does not justify Boone's actions leading to Torres' death. In a recent interview, Werner spoke with Boone for over two hours, during which Boone recounted details from the night Torres died. “They were having a good time and laughing,” Werner shared. “But she remembered what it felt like when he was choking her, and she became angry.” Boone described how she shook the suitcase Torres was in, and after it flipped, she reportedly saw him put two fingers out. “Her son's baseball bat was sitting there, and she picked the bat up and hit his hand,” Werner said. This narrative conflicts with the defense's portrayal of Boone as a woman reacting under the influence of long-standing trauma. Boone's lead attorney, James Owens, previously introduced forensic psychologist Dr. Julie Harper as an expert witness for the defense. Harper testified that Boone's reaction that night was influenced by previous violent interactions with Torres. According to Harper, “Over a period of incidents, basically the victim begins to perceive cues that would signal impending danger … even subtle changes in tone or behavior that others might overlook.” Harper described this perception as something unique to individuals in abusive relationships, highlighting Boone's heightened awareness of Torres' behavior patterns as a trigger for her actions that night. The issue of Battered Spouse Syndrome has been central to both sides, as it reflects Boone's alleged perception of imminent harm. While Werner agreed with Harper's diagnosis of BSS, she expressed skepticism over the applicability of BSS in justifying Boone's behavior that led to Torres' death. “Having Battered Spouse Syndrome doesn't necessarily mean actions taken against your partner in a relationship are justified,” she said. A pivotal moment during Werner's testimony involved an objection by Owens, who argued the prosecution did not inform him of Werner's recent opinion change. Owens requested the opportunity to re-depose Werner, stating, “I should have been notified there was going to be a change in opinions here today … and we had an agreement that I was going to be allowed to retake the deposition.” Judge Michael Kraynick ruled in Owens' favor, allowing an in-court deposition to clarify Werner's statements. The defense highlighted Boone's account of prior violence by Torres to strengthen their BSS argument. Deputy Jessica Ramirez Delgado testified Wednesday, recalling an arrest incident where Boone said, “Why? Because I f***ing fought back?” During the same session, jurors saw video footage taken from Boone's cellphone showing Torres smashing her TV with the same baseball bat Boone later used to prevent Torres from escaping the suitcase. Assistant State Attorney William Jay questioned Harper about the possibility of Boone's narcissistic personality traits influencing her actions, noting that Boone demonstrated three of the nine traits associated with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, though not enough for a formal diagnosis. Harper disagreed that these traits influenced Boone's actions, emphasizing Boone's trauma-related reactions. As the trial proceeds, the court heard how Boone's experiences with Torres may have shaped her response on the night of his death. With closing arguments anticipated, the prosecution and defense will soon present their final cases to jurors, who must weigh the complex psychological factors surrounding Boone's actions.

Tony Overbay, LMFT, discusses the potentially harmful effects of an article titled “What Is Disarming A Narcissist? 12 Simple Ways To Do So” (https://tinyurl.com/2u8d7sjb) that oversimplifies interactions with narcissists. He distinguishes between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the broader spectrum of emotional immaturity, emphasizing the small percentage of diagnosed cases of narcissistic personality disorder. Tony critiques the casual and inflated use of the term 'narcissist' and clarifies that real narcissism and emotional immaturity come with significant implications in relationships. He breaks down the common traits of emotional immaturity, such as anger management issues and lack of accountability, and stresses the need to understand one's emotional maturity level.

did a most downloaded episode I believe for year 2, an everyone seemed to really enjoy it including me. So we're doing it again as a year 3 episode! As with the last compilation I made, these are not necessarily my favorite episodes of the year: They are the most downloaded of the year. I think the top 3 even broke download records, so it's clear that people enjoyed them. This is a great way to peruse topics you may have otherwise overlooked or ignored, or great starting points if you're new to the show. I'm also super proud to say that this has been a massive year of growth with numbers doubling and tripling in most cases, along with an astounding 160 country reach and numerous top rankings in multiple countries and on several platforms. Starting us off at number 10 is: Bad Bosses with Jennifer Nash. We originally arranged this interview to talk about good bosses, but you all in the audience quickly decided you wanted it to be about the worst of the worst, and what's wrong with them. I'll also throw in a little (static) so you know there's a clean little cut in the audio segments. I can see why people found that episode a bit cathartic, but it was followed up with an interview that had most people concerned at the beginning. It was a reply to a tech specialist, done and voiced entirely by AI. At #9: The AI Reply with ChatGPT and ElevenLabs The speaking ability of computer entities quickly found its way deeper into the minds of the audience; as we dove into the human speaking ability in #8 Polyglot Means Multilingual with Joel Dubin But with these new languages, how were we going to find the money to travel to all these wonderful places? That's where we get #7: Becoming Wealthy with Bryan Kuderna Needless to say: All these new skills left us all a bit stressed out. Luckily, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder came in to save the day at #6: OCD with Chris Mason That puts OCD into perspective, but what about the ever increasing need to know about Autism? For this we turn to #5: Life with Autism with Sam Mitchell Autism can be an isolating experience, and #4 highlighted that all of life can be lonely if done wrong. This is: Loneliness with Shila Patel Okay… So we don't want to be lonely, right? Then why not find someone or something we cannot live without? Turns out that leads us to #3: Codependency with Dr. Sarah Michaud Alright! So we can't be lonely, AND we can't be codependent… Is there anything else to look out for, Colton? Yes, there is, my lovely audience member; it's #2: Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Danu Morrigan Wow… with such a heavy list, surely the number one must have been an all encompassing downer, right? No! In fact, #1 was almost exclusively uplifting: Providing valuable insights to how you can find passion and purpose in your life right now! It's Vitamin P with Corey Poirier Listener questions?: “Do you plan to focus on any topics more in the future?” -Mikah Rocky asks, "You had a recent announcement about a medical situation. Can you tell us more?" “How's listenership?” - Deborah “Did something happen to make you happier?” - Odila Favorite Reviews or Emails: “Dear JDE podcast, Thank you for releasing such unique and fascinating content. Not being largely into podcasts, I find myself oddly intrigued with what the next episode will dive into. Just a few weeks ago I listened to one where you had a sports related guest, they mentioned how physical activity such as running helps the mind from overthinking. Because you're so physically exhausted, you can't think deep enough to get overwhelmed in the moment. Being the fool I am. I translated this to intensely jogging on a break later that night to the point of being uncomfortable. Later, a co-worker was kind enough to invite me on their evening strolls and that was a much more enjoyable distraction. Sincerely, another dumb fan.” “Hello! Huge fan of the show, just wanted to send some. Compliments your way. Live, laugh, love babes! Cheers!” - Leo Velour I love hearing from listeners, even if it's just for them to say hey or share a moment. Now for just a little ego boost, let's look at some public reviews of the show: “I love this podcast. I always learn something. I've been listening for some time now and was fortunate to be a guest last year. Keep up the good work, Colton.” - Dr. Robin Hall “Colton Petry's Just dumb enough. Podcast is, of course, quite smart. All of his shows and guests are wide-ranging and equally fascinating. I find most shows with an international following such as this one. Are the ones to stalk. This one's a keeper.” -Best Things Ever “Colton ain't no dummy, He's a masterful interviewer who creates the best conversations that you just don't want to end.” - Jodi Top 10 Countries: United States, led by New York, Oregon, California, Texas, and Illinois. England and Scotland of the United Kingdom. Australia's own New South Wales and Victoria. Canada, with Ontario and British Columbia out front. Ghana, making a huge statement as a regular top 5 this year! New Zealand Ireland Germany South Africa India All 10 has routine time in the top of their charts, there was only about a 2% difference between #6 and #10, and #11 was even closer. Thank you all again for hanging out with me and my wonderfully dumb show for another year. I hope to have even more fun topics and wild knowledge for you in Year 4! That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode! Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins the conversation to discuss the peculiar and self-sabotaging testimony of Robert Telles, who is on trial for the murder of journalist Jeff German. Dreeke highlights Telles' narcissistic behavior as he takes the stand, focusing more on his personal narrative and opinions rather than addressing the damning evidence against him. Telles' testimony, filled with irrelevant details and self-centered remarks, such as his unusual healing process and ownership of three cars, only serves to alienate the jury and detract from any credible defense. Dreeke points out that Telles' behavior, marked by a superiority complex and lack of authenticity, is not only ineffective but potentially damaging to his case. The conversation underscores the significance of likability and genuine remorse in court, elements that Telles seems to completely lack, making his testimony more of a spectacle than a serious defense. **Key Points:** - Robert Telles' testimony is marked by self-centeredness and irrelevant details, making him unlikable to the jury. - Telles displays extreme narcissism, believing his opinions should hold as much weight as expert testimony. - His defense attorney appears to allow him to testify despite the damaging nature of his narrative, possibly recognizing the futility of his case. - Telles' testimony fails to address key evidence and instead focuses on trivial matters, further undermining his credibility. - Dreeke emphasizes that Telles' approach is a textbook example of what not to do when testifying in one's defense. - The discussion highlights the importance of authenticity, likability, and addressing the core issues in court, all of which Telles fails to do. - Dreeke suggests that Telles may have convinced himself of his own innocence, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. **Hashtags:** #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #MurderTrial #Narcissism #CourtTestimony #BehavioralAnalysis #LegalStrategy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Importance of Self-Care and Self-Accountability in Healing from Narcissistic Abuse Healing from narcissistic abuse is a journey that requires immense strength, courage, and resilience. The pain inflicted by a narcissist can leave deep emotional wounds that often linger long after the relationship has ended. Amidst this healing process, self-care becomes not just a luxury but a necessity. It is the foundation upon which recovery is built. Yet, true self-care goes beyond the surface—it involves self-accountability, a commitment to nurturing oneself while being honest about the steps needed to move forward. In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A. Romano, Life Coach and award winning author, learn about the importance of the self care you need on the healing and awakening journey. When you've been through narcissistic abuse, it's common to feel depleted, emotionally drained, and disconnected from your own needs. Narcissists have a way of eroding your sense of self, often leaving you questioning your worth and value. This is why compassionate self-care is so vital. It's about reconnecting with yourself deeply, understanding that your needs and feelings are valid, and treating yourself with the kindness and love you may have been denied in the past. Self-care, in this context, isn't just about pampering yourself with a spa day or a new book—though those things can certainly be part of it. It's about actively prioritizing your well-being in every aspect of your life. It means setting boundaries that protect your peace, saying no to situations and people who drain you, and giving yourself permission to rest and recharge without guilt. By practicing self-care, you're affirming to yourself that you are worthy of love, care, and respect. Embracing Self-Accountability While self-care is about nurturing and protecting yourself, self-accountability is about taking ownership of your healing journey. After experiencing narcissistic abuse, it's natural to feel like a victim—because, in many ways, you were. However, healing requires you to move beyond that identity. This doesn't mean blaming yourself for what happened; it means recognizing your power to change your life moving forward. Self-accountability is about being honest with yourself about the areas of your life that need attention. It's about recognizing any patterns or behaviors that may have kept you stuck in the past and committing to making the changes necessary to break free from them. This could mean seeking therapy, learning about healthy relationship dynamics, or even just making a conscious effort to challenge negative self-talk. It's a process of growth that requires both self-compassion and self-discipline. The Balance Between Self-Care and Self-Accountability The healing journey is a delicate balance between self-care and self-accountability. Too much focus on self-care without accountability can lead to avoidance of the deeper work that healing requires. On the other hand, too much focus on accountability without care can result in self-criticism and burnout. The key is approaching your healing with a gentle heart and a firm resolve. Remember, healing is not a linear process. There will be days when self-care looks like taking a break and nurturing yourself and days when it means pushing through difficult emotions and holding yourself accountable for your progress. Both are equally important, and both require you to be kind to yourself throughout the journey. As you continue to heal from narcissistic abuse, remember that you are not alone. Many others have walked this path and found their way to the other side, and you can, too. By prioritizing self-care and embracing self-accountability, you are taking powerful steps toward reclaiming your life, happiness, and sense of self. You are worth the effort, and your future is brighter than you can imagine. Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery. 12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books Facebook Support Group

Limited-time discount available – don't miss out! It's believed 1 in 6 people are narcissistic. Dealing with a narcissist can be exhausting, often involving manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. Rebecca Zung, a top-rated attorney and expert on narcissism, breaks down how to recognize and deal with narcissistic personalities in both personal and professional settings. She teaches methods for negotiating with narcissists and emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and understanding that narcissists operate from a place of fear and childhood trauma. Rebecca Zung is a top-rated attorney, recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Lawyer in America. She's the author of bestselling books on divorce and negotiation, including "Negotiate Like You MATTER" with a foreword by Robert Shapiro. A sought-after expert, Rebecca has been featured on major media outlets like Extra, Forbes, and NPR. Based in Los Angeles, she continues to share her expertise through keynote speeches, media appearances, podcasts, and on-demand programs. The Signs of Narcissism: Be wary of people who seem too good to be true, mirror your interests perfectly, push for quick commitments, or react poorly to boundaries. These are potential red flags for narcissistic behavior. Narcissists Operate Differently: Narcissists are motivated by "narcissistic supply" and may not respond to rational arguments. Their behavior is often rooted in childhood trauma, leading to emotional regulation issues and "narcissistic blindness" when triggered. Use the SLAY Method When Dealing With Narcissists: Strategy (define your goals), Leverage (identify their sources of supply), Anticipate (understand their type), and You (maintain your authentic power). This helps in negotiations or conflicts with narcissists. Set Strong Boundaries: Set clear boundaries, avoid JADE (Justify, Argue, Defend, Explain), use specific language, and remember that you're entitled to respect. Developing these skills can help protect your mental health and achieve better outcomes when interacting with narcissists.
