That's not me".Many clients initially (but silently and violently) object to any suggestion that there is Narcissism at work. I am never suggesting they have NPD (Narcissist Personality Disorder), but that they WILL have traits from Narcissism.Here is one definition of Narcissism which I use: "Narcissism is the way we conceptualise how we will look after ourselves. In its pathological form, it refers to people who seem incapable of acknowledging or taking sufficient account of the reality of other people and their separate existence. Narcissistic Personality Disorder describes those who exemplify an extreme form of this characteristic. The primary purpose of Narcissism is to compensate for experience, usually in early childhood, when ordinary expectable needs were not met adequately. The Narcissist denies dependence on others and denies even that others exist except as players in the Narcissist's drama. Other people are required to meet the narcissist's needs for recognition and value, but without relationship being reciprocated.The narcissist gives nothing, but demands others give everything. Therefore the original horrific experience of unmet need and the shame and vulnerability that goes with it, is denied and defended against.Traits include being the centre of attention; little interest in others; craves recognition and praise. They are performers and want others to keep on clapping and not stop; controls and dominates interaction with others; has to be right; cannot admit to ever being wrong and never apologises; insists on things being done their way; always makes the choices and decisions. Reliance on another is not acknowledged"."Gary, let me show you evidence that I do not seek attention, take little interest in others, don't crave recognition or attention, let alone a performer and want claps. How dare you...."Until I unfold their behaviours and leave them with 'food for thought' to reflect upon; including going back to my definition of Sex Addiction to see 'the function which the addiction serves'.Get some help from The Kairos Centre.

When you've got kids with someone, you need to be able to cooperate. But what do you do if your ex is emotionally unstable/volatile, physically or emotionally abusive, or otherwise difficult?Most partners don't start out that way, of course. As one man put it, it felt more like "the ground could be kind of unstable" in the relationship. Another said, "I was hyper-aware of her emotions all the time, and trying to minimize her upheaval."Maybe the two of you have even tried seeing a couple's counselor. But it didn't work -- or in some cases, even seemed to make things worse. Says one man, "Even in therapy, a lot of it was, ‘You're the cause of this.'"Here, three men share their personal experiences of co-parenting with challenging partners -- women who often have traits of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).They go into what it was like being in the relationship, the progression from being a childless couple to having children together, and then the journey out. They share both practical and emotional tips about co-parenting, and offer what they've learned along the way.If you're in this situation, may this help to light the way.Memorable quotes:“She said things like, ‘You have ruined my life, and caused me more trauma.'”“It's hard to see that stuff when you're in it.”“In reality, we just had wounds that sort of fit well together at the time.”“I told myself I had a loyalty to her.”“I had so much fear of, 'What's gonna happen if I actually follow through?'”“At some point I didn't feel safe; I felt threatened.”“What made things better for everyone, including my ex, was strong, healthy boundaries.”---Mentioned on this episode:Dear Men 128: Feel like you're walking on eggshells?

Narcissistic repetition behavior from the narc often focuses on the cyclical nature of the abuse. The narcissist's lack of accountability, and the victim's struggle to escape. A common theme is the expectation that past hurts should be forgotten without change, leading to the repetition of painful patterns, as seen in quotes like, "Narcissists expect everything to go back to normal, as if their actions left no scars" and "They want peace without accountability. Forgiveness without change.
Even before Patricia Arquette signed on to play Maggie Murdaugh in Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family, she was already “obsessed” with the infamous case of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh. “I had been following it and watched documentaries and different shows about it,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. “I was just really doing a deep dive looking at Narcissistic Personality Disorder.” One of the things that really fascinated Arquette about Maggie was her slow, tragic realization of her husband's true nature. “I like that her awakening starts to happen but even until the last second she still never thinks he's capable of that.” In the end, it was “that danger of your own partner being capable of something so scary was so chilling to me and for her and for all these women.” The Academy Award and Emmy winning actress has been busy in recent years with various projects like Severance on Apple TV+, and her busy schedule is not something she takes for granted. "I'm just grateful honestly at this age that I'm still able to work and getting really good parts and being able to do some more character work, because when you're a young girl, you don't get parts like that, and you don't get chances like that."

This episode continues the Heal NPD Seminar Series, featuring Dr. Mark Ettensohn and his associates, Deanna Young, Psy.D., and Danté Spencer, M.A. In this session, the group discusses Principles of Psychodynamic Treatment for Patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder by Holly Crisp, M.D., and Glen Gabbard, M.D. The conversation explores how psychodynamic clinicians conceptualize and treat narcissistic personality disorder, emphasizing the disorder's pleomorphic nature - its capacity to take many forms depending on context, stress, and level of personality organization. Themes include the oscillation between grandiose and vulnerable self-states, the role of shame as a central organizing affect, and the therapist's challenge of moving flexibly along a supportive–interpretive continuum. The group also examines common transference and countertransference dynamics, the integration of Kohut's and Kernberg's models, and the transformative role of rupture and repair in the therapeutic process. Through candid discussion, clinical reflection, and moments of humor, the seminar illustrates how empathic attunement, flexibility, and authentic connection form the heart of effective treatment for pathological narcissism. This series is designed for clinicians, students, and anyone interested in a deeper and more nuanced understanding of narcissism, personality, and the process of psychological healing.

In this episode, Dr. Mark Ettensohn challenges one of the most persistent distortions in contemporary discourse on narcissism: the myth of “the narcissist.” He explains how this cultural archetype, an image of coldness, cruelty, and manipulation, has eclipsed legitimate clinical understanding of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Drawing on both the peer-reviewed literature and his clinical experience, Dr. Ettensohn describes how terms like narcissistic abuse, covert narcissism, and narcissistic supply have come to dominate popular psychology despite lacking grounding in peer-reviewed research. The episode explores how this narrative misleads clinicians, alienates patients, and perpetuates stigma, while offering a more accurate view of pathological narcissism as a defensive structure rooted in shame, vulnerability, and loss. Dr. Ettensohn argues that it is time to discard the myth of “the narcissist” and replace it with a more compassionate, evidence-based understanding of NPD...one that recognizes both the pain it causes and the suffering it defends against.

Raise your hand if you've scrolled social media and seen the terms “narcissist,” “gaslighting,” and “narcissistic abuse” thrown around like confetti. I know, me too. It can feel like in our rush to name toxic dynamics, we've started pointing fingers everywhere other than to ourselves— what's really going on?This week I sat down with Darren Elliott to explore the pervasive cultural conversation surrounding narcissism. What we uncovered is less about calling people "bad" and more about understanding trauma, emotional immaturity, and the powerful dance of disconnection we all participate in. If you've been wondering how to stop the cycle—in your marriage, your family, or your community—this episode is a courageous starting point.Tune in to learn: How narcissism is actually a set of defenses we use to protect ourselves from disconnection. When one person starts lying or manipulating, we're more likely to "join their dance" by reacting with similar behaviors. The cycle starts when you react to their defensiveness with your ownNarcissism is not only loud and argumentative. The calm, emotionally disconnected partner could be a narcissist too. How to not f*ck up your kids (spoiler alert: by repairing conflict). What percentage of the time you need to show up calm and nailing it in parenthood. A hidden form of emotional abuse and narcissism.
In this gripping psychological breakdown, we go beyond the headlines and into the behavioral blueprint of Bryan Kohberger—the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students. Was he a psychopath? A narcissist? Or something more complicated? Join Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers as we pull apart the clinical language behind the internet's most overused labels. “Psychopath” and “narcissist” aren't just insults—they're technical profiles, rooted in years of forensic and psychological study. And in Kohberger's case, the question isn't just what he did… but why. What does his academic obsession with criminology reveal? What do prosecutors say about his movements before and after the crime? And what does his eerie silence in court actually mean—remorselessness or just legal strategy? We examine documented facts from court filings, affidavits, and verified reporting: • The infamous knife sheath with DNA • Cell phone records showing surveillance and signal gaps • Prosecutors' theory of forensic planning • Kohberger's alleged superiority complex and behavioral coldness Through the lens of expert frameworks—including the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder—we'll explore the traits the public finds chilling, and what they really mean. This isn't a character assassination. It's a forensic dissection of behavior, motive, and risk—delivered in Tony's signature style: fact-driven, emotionally grounded, and built for audiences who want more than just true crime drama. No speculation. No sensationalism. Just what the public record shows—and what psychology helps us understand.

What happens when the person who claims to love you systematically dismantles your sense of reality? Tiffany Tate, CEO of The Family Place in Dallas and a survivor of narcissistic abuse, bravely shares her story for the first time on this powerful episode. "When you don't trust the thoughts that are in your head, that is very, very hard to recover from," Tiffany reveals, describing her decade-long journey through a relationship that left her constantly questioning her sanity. Despite her professional background as a licensed clinical social worker, she found herself trapped in the fog of manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional control—proof that narcissistic abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of education or awareness. The conversation cuts through the pop culture misuse of "narcissist" to clarify crucial distinctions: narcissist as a label, narcissism as a trait, and Narcissistic Personality Disorder as a clinical diagnosis requiring specific criteria. Tiffany explains how these behaviors escalate into abuse when consistently used to strip away a partner's independence and autonomy, often invisible to outsiders as narcissists masterfully present different faces to different audiences. For those currently navigating relationships with narcissistic partners, Tiffany offers practical strategies that saved her: the "gray rock technique" of minimal emotional response, limiting personal disclosures that could be weaponized, and anchoring through journaling to validate experiences when gaslit. She also discusses available therapeutic interventions and the complex challenges of treating narcissistic offenders, whose lack of empathy and insight make meaningful change difficult. This episode provides not just understanding but actionable resources for survivors, from recommended books and support communities to safety planning strategies. Whether you're questioning your own relationship dynamics or supporting someone who might be experiencing narcissistic abuse, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and pathways toward healing.

Did James Craig Murder Angela Due To Narcissistic Collapse & Delusional Thinking? In this culminating fourth episode of "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer," licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott provides a forensic-level breakdown of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of killing his wife. Joined by Hidden Killers Host Tony Brueski, this episode aims to construct a comprehensive psychological profile, shedding light on what drives individuals like Craig and crucial lessons for the public. If James Craig were to sit in a psychotherapist's office, what clinical indicators would be paramount? We explore the hypothetical diagnostic evaluation: Is this a clear case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Psychopathy, or a complex mixture of both? The discussion also considers the potential coexistence of other disorders, such as sex addiction or delusional disorder. Was this murder a response to a narcissistic collapse—a desperate attempt to regain control amidst financial ruin and a failing marriage? Could someone truly believe they can kill their way into a better life? This episode delves into how high-functioning predators like Craig manage to hide in plain sight. What can society learn from these "wolves in white coats" who charm and deceive? Are we culturally conditioned to disbelieve charming perpetrators, even when red flags appear? Finally, we offer a critical final assessment of societal risk. What makes someone like James Craig dangerous long before they commit murder? What does a psychotherapist most want the public to understand about individuals capable of such heinous acts, and what are the crucial signs that should never be ignored? This is an essential guide to protecting yourself from emotional predators. #JamesCraig #PsychologicalDiagnosis #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #Psychopathy #ForensicPsychology #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeInsights #PredatorAwareness #MentalHealth #SocietalRisk Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We explore the hypothetical diagnostic evaluation: Is this a clear case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Psychopathy, or a complex mixture of both? The discussion also considers the potential coexistence of other disorders, such as sex addiction or delusional disorder. Was this murder a response to a narcissistic collapse—a desperate attempt to regain control amidst financial ruin and a failing marriage? Could someone truly believe they can kill their way into a better life? This episode delves into how high-functioning predators like Craig manage to hide in plain sight. What can society learn from these "wolves in white coats" who charm and deceive? Are we culturally conditioned to disbelieve charming perpetrators, even when red flags appear? Finally, we offer a critical final assessment of societal risk. What makes someone like James Craig dangerous long before they commit murder? What does a psychotherapist most want the public to understand about individuals capable of such heinous acts, and what are the crucial signs that should never be ignored? This is an essential guide to protecting yourself from emotional predators. #JamesCraig #PsychologicalDiagnosis #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #Psychopathy #ForensicPsychology #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeInsights #PredatorAwareness #MentalHealth #SocietalRisk Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

James Craig: The Narcissist Dentist's Deadly Double Life Dive deep into the chilling case of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of poisoning his wife, Angela. In this first episode of our "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer" series, we explore the disturbing psychological persona James Craig presented to the world, contrasting it with the malevolent actions he allegedly committed. Licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Host Tony Brueski of Hidden Killers to dissect the deceptive charm often used by individuals with severe personality disorders. We examine whether Craig's behavior aligns with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, exploring how narcissists leverage charm to disarm suspicion and maintain a perfect facade. Learn about the unsettling ability to compartmentalize a double life, balancing a public image of devotion while allegedly plotting murder. What psychological mechanisms allow high-functioning individuals like Craig to split their lives with zero guilt? This episode also probes the influence of religious environments, such as Craig's LDS/Mormon background, and how such communities might create pressure to maintain a moral mask, potentially fostering deeper repression. We discuss critical early warning signs that might have been missed by those closest to him and how families can inadvertently normalize sociopathic behavior over years of emotional manipulation. Discover the risks of overlooking charm, especially when it comes from respected figures. This isn't just about a murder case; it's an urgent exploration of the mind behind the monster and the hidden dangers of psychological deception. #JamesCraig #TrueCrimePsychology #NarcissisticPersonality #HiddenKillers #PsychologicalProfile #MurderMystery #ForensicPsychology #TrueCrimeCommunity #Deception #Sociopath Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Dave Weigel to the podcast. Dave was last on Season 5, Episode 230. Dave is a top money manager in New York who comes to us via his advocacy work, a pretty far off way from Wall Street. He's perhaps more well known to some as the Family Court Fraud Warrior on social media and in the press. His divorce in NYC is now into its 14th year and four months. After suffering 12 years of legal and Narcissist abuse in the family courts, he decided to take his analysis of what he calls the most blatant Government Sponsored Racketeering system to the Court of Public Opinion. For the last 2 years, he's been highlighting to an ever-growing audience the play by play of what he calls this Business Model of Financial Fraud. With a slew of other victims found from around the country, his newest initiative is to unite all victims nationwide into a single voice demanding change by calculating the industry data collected directly from the victims themselves, over this blockchain type Public Ledger on Facebook. This is what he calls the method of Intelligent Transparency. Hoping his Wall Street experience in data mining and financial analysis can finally bring the needed transparency of this system to affect real change, Dave is welcoming all victims. Dave Weigel wants victims to register at Family Court Fraud Warrior Project on Facebook. This is a group committed to revealing the, "worst of the worst," culprits in this system, while at the same time holding up the heroes out there speaking truth to power.To Reach Dave Weigel: Family Court Fraud Warrior Project on FacebookSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

“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.

Ever wondered why your brilliant mind can solve complex problems at work but completely breaks down during relationship conflicts? That's because those emotional reactions that feel so instinctive aren't flaws—they're actually genius survival strategies that once kept you safe. In this transformative episode, we explore how black-and-white thinking, mind-reading expectations, and external validation seeking were perfect childhood adaptations that have now become relationship roadblocks.

This isn't just another episode about relationship struggles—it's a compassionate roadmap for emotional growth that honors both your wounded inner child and your emerging adult self. You'll discover how to recognize when you're in an emotional "hole" and why continuing to dig with familiar tools only takes you deeper.

Whether you struggle with people-pleasing, emotional flooding, perfectionism, or control issues, this episode offers a strength-based approach to transform these patterns into mature responses that will revolutionize your relationships and bring a profound sense of internal peace. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:23 Listener Email: Mark's Story 01:41 Understanding Emotional Immaturity 04:47 Exploring the Emotional Maturity Spectrum 08:47 Introducing the Emotional Architects Group 09:29 Narcissistic Personality Disorder vs. Emotional Immaturity 11:08 Dinner with Daniel: A Narcissistic Narrative 15:47 Stages of Emotional Maturity 26:18 Childhood Behaviors in Adult Bodies 32:45 Understanding Emotional Blueprints 33:07 Re-parenting with Compassion 33:32 Therapeutic Insights from Fiction 34:23 Frozen Moments and Adult Relationships 35:16 Childhood Adaptations in Adult Life 36:17 Exploring Childlike Behaviors in Adults 36:57 Navigating Emotional Development 41:34 Black or White Thinking 44:43 Magical Thinking in Relationships 47:46 Emotional Reasoning and Codependency 52:32 External Validation and Accountability 55:41 Mind Reading and Projection 01:01:32 Pattern Recognition and Familiarity 01:07:12 Path Toward Emotional Maturity 01:07:52 Conclusion and Next Steps

Do you think you might love, know, or be related to someone who is a narcissist or exhibits narcissistic traits? Loving someone with a high-conflict personality can change you in ways you never expected. One thing you might do that keeps you stuck is hoping they will change. You can drain yourself trying to connect with them, seeking resolution, or negotiating a middle ground. However, you will ultimately realize their consistent pattern of being completely unresponsive, dismissive and revengeful to your request for fairness. In this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A. Romano, the #1 bestselling author of The Road Back to Me and a coach specializing in codependency and narcissistic abuse, you will gain powerful insights into her deep understanding of the complexities of the narcissistic personality and its impact on your life, spirit, psyche, and world. It's time to grow beyond the limits codependency, childhood trauma responses and narcissistic abuse has had on your life. Are you a action oriented, goal minded, self motivated person who is ready to shatter the ceilings of limiting beliefs created by adverse childhood experiences? And do you ache for deep transformation and are you willing to commit to healing your mind, body and soul at the most profound level so you can take your innate talents and bless them with the world? If so, you might be the perfect candidate for Lisa's VIP Conscious Healers Mastermind Group. To learn more, contact Lisa at coach@lisaaromano.com to learn more.

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.
The show opens with Adam explaining why people should be required to have a license to travel on planes, why airports need traffic cameras, how Andy Dick singlehandedly caused numerous podcasters to move their show into a studio, the soundtrack at his barbershop, and Bill Maher & Jane Fonda tangling over California's tendency to overregulate. Next, Jason “Mayhem” Miller reads the news including stories about President Biden pardoning his son Hunter and “Jan 6ers” getting nervous about Trump's post-election silence about their pardons, Nick Cannon admitting that he's seeking help for his narcissistic personality disorder, and Mark Zuckerberg dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Then, comedian Des Bishop makes his first visit to ACS to talk about having a testicle removed, getting sent to boarding school in Ireland at 14, the difference between Irish and New York comedy crowds, and learning Mandarin to perform in China.
