Podcasts about narcissists

What if the therapy language we hear every day is quietly training us to worship ourselves? 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. ---

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. Watch to the end for practical tips on staying firm when they try to break through your boundaries.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

For more than three decades, Dave Hughes has made Australia laugh. But behind the unmistakable voice and self-deprecating humour is a man who's spent much of his life trying to understand what drives him. In this deeply personal conversation with his longtime friend and former radio co-host Kate Langbroek, Hughesy reflects on his childhood in Warrnambool, giving up alcohol and drugs at 22, the self-doubt that has followed him throughout his career, and why he now believes he's "been a narcissist all my life." He opens up about the need to be a hero, the surprising relationship between insecurity and success, the pressures of fame, his marriage to Holly, raising three teenagers, and the political opinions that have sparked headlines across the country.

In Episode 12 of Season 10 of the Healing for My Soul Podcast, Dr. Dunamis Dee and Ariel Fuller close out the season with the question nobody wants to ask but everybody needs to answer — are you the narcissist?

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]

Hey, Survivor! Do narcissists believe their own lies? In this episode, I'm exploring one of the most confusing aspects of narcissistic abuse: lying, self-deception, gaslighting, and the rewriting of reality. Learn why accountability can be so difficult, how cognitive dissonance influences behavior, and what survivors can do to protect their peace and trust themselves again. If you've been stuck trying to uncover the lies in your narcissistic or toxic relationship, this episode is for you. Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

A man divorces his wife after two years of zero affection post-menopause. He starts dating again, shares his story with a woman he's seeing, and she calls him a narcissist. His ex-wife used the same word. Now he's writing to me wondering if they're right.In this episode, I break down what actual narcissism is, why the word has become a go-to weapon in relationship conflict, and how to think clearly about whether the label actually fits you — or whether it's being used to make you feel like the problem when you're not.

The narcissist's silent treatment is more than just ignoring someone—it's a powerful manipulation tactic designed to control, punish, and create emotional confusion. In this video, we explore why narcissists use the silent treatment, what they hope to achieve, and the psychological impact it can have on their targets. We'll also examine this behavior through the lens of the brain's three evolutionary layers—the reptilian brain focused on survival and control, the limbic brain driven by emotions and attachment, and the neocortex responsible for reasoning and conscious decision-making—to better understand how both narcissists and their targets process these interactions and make choices. You'll learn how the silent treatment differs from healthy space-taking, the common triggers behind this behavior, and practical strategies for protecting your emotional well-being. Whether you're dealing with a narcissistic partner, family member, friend, or coworker, understanding this toxic pattern can help you respond with clarity and confidence.#Narcissism #SilentTreatment #nocontact https://youtu.be/nZhGoJrNRi0COACHING Enquiries - narcscon@gmail.com

What is a narcissist?How not to be a narcissist.

In this video, I break down why narcissists and abusive people are so cruel when they're discarding you, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who has been on the other side of that breakup. We'll talk about how ego injury and loss of control drive their rage, why they need to see you as “broken” or pathetic to justify leaving, and how smear campaigns, threats, and comparison to “new supply” become tools to repair their own shattered self‑image. I'll show you the hidden logic behind their cruelty, why they twist the story so you look like the abuser and how that keeps you stuck searching for closure in a situation that was never going to make sense. If you've ever wondered why the person who claimed to love you suddenly seemed to enjoy hurting you at the end, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need to stop blaming yourself, recognize the discard for what it is, and start focusing on your own healing.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

The word "narcissist" has been thrown around so casually that it has effectively replaced calling someone an "asshole." However, this reflexive labeling often prevents the very thing that could actually heal the dynamic. In this episode, Joe and Brett offer a different lens on narcissism: not as a category of "bad people," but as a spectrum we are all on, rooted in an inability to feel. Together, they explore what's actually happening underneath narcissistic behavior, why the person on the receiving end is often doing very similar internal work, and how genuine healing happens on both sides of the dynamic. They discuss: Why "narcissist" has become a defensive way to call someone an asshole Alexander Lowen's definition: narcissism as the inability to feel The spectrum from aggressive to passive narcissism (and how everyone lands somewhere on it) Why the "I'm more humble than you" move is still narcissism The role healthy narcissism plays in leadership, art, and building anything meaningful Containing vs. confronting: how to hold a loving boundary that doesn't trigger shame Why so many people who get called assholes actually want to be met with a boundary The symbiotic pull: why some people go through life looking for a narcissist to attach to Handing off your doubt as the seductive comfort of narcissistic relationships Why healed narcissism becomes the leadership we all actually want Working with your own anger to meet the attack without collapse or counter-attack Owning your own narcissism: the shadow work required on both sides Seeing the innocence: the child who was never cared for, built for war Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Samantha Reigns joins Sex Party for an episode that goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. We get into her love of anal, large gangbangs on and off camera, finally trying DP in 2026, her fisting experience, and the time she did a DVP while ten other men watched through a window from the room next door.Samantha also breaks down her wildest strip club experiences, why clubs near airports operate differently, how fans should approach her in public, and the most unhinged requests she's received on OnlyFans. Plus, she reveals how searching a dating app for a woman to join her and her boyfriend in a threesome somehow led to a career in porn.

In this episode, I'm talking about something I call the Saturday text. It's never Tuesday at 10 AM when your coffee is warm and you're mentally ready. It's always when you've finally exhaled, and I want to explain why that timing is never an accident.I go deep into the way dysregulation gets used as a delivery mechanism of coercive control, including what the person sending the text is actually getting out of it, which is not just pressure relief but confirmation that they still have access to your nervous system. I also talk about co-regulation, what it's supposed to be, and how it gets weaponized in coercively controlling relationships.I share my own experience with this pattern, including the specific moment when someone I was with sent a breakup ultimatum by text while I was alone in another country, and what that taught me about the intentionality behind timing.If you're in a high-conflict co-parenting situation, still entangled with someone controlling, or just trying to understand why you're always exhausted and can never quite explain it, this episode is for you. I also talk about practical ways to start creating distance between the text arriving and your response, because your nervous system belongs to you, and so does your Saturday.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.

In this video, I explain why a narcissist will never truly “pick” you in the way you're hoping for, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who's been on the other side of those choices. We'll talk about how narcissists see partners as temporary “supply,” why they chase newness and fantasy instead of commitment, and what's really going on when they discard you for someone else and still keep you on the hook. I'll break down why it was never about you not being enough, how trauma bonds make you fight to be chosen, and why you can't win a game that's rigged to keep you doubting your worth. Most importantly, you'll learn how to stop auditioning for their approval, see their “rejection” for what it really is, and choose yourself instead of waiting to be picked by someone who only values what you do for themBook a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

In this episode, Therese Markow and psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Scott discuss narcissism, its clinical definition, and the characteristics of "malignant narcissism". Dr. Scott explains that narcissism involves patterns of grandiosity, a need for constant admiration, a lack of empathy, high levels of manipulation, and the narcissist's "kryptonite" - criticism. They view themselves as the victim, never at fault. Despite their arrogance, they are very insecure. Dr. Scott also discusses why treatment is challenging and why therapy often focuses on managing symptoms rather than the deeper core issues. They can't see that they have a problem, and thus are resistant to treatment.    Key Takeaways: The myth of Narcissus illustrates the danger of excessive self-focus, which is the hallmark of narcissism in clinical terms and is becoming increasingly common in some aspects of our modern society.  Narcissists are very good at manipulation. They consciously will do things to sort of manage their image in the eyes of others. They may appear to show empathy at times in a relationship, but it's usually more of a means to an end than a genuine concern for the feelings of others. Criticism is like kryptonite to a narcissist, so even the mildest critique can provoke a strong defensive reaction: anger, denial, or shifting the blame to somebody else. You cannot change a narcissist's behavior, but you can control your own responses to it. Think about limits and then give yourself leeway within those to protect your own mental health.    "[Narcissists] might mimic empathetic behaviors to achieve their own ends, but it's more about manipulation than genuine caring. So they can understand maybe what empathy looks like, but not really get how it feels and how it's supposed to feel and how those behaviors are supposed to be rooted in something inside them." —  Elizabeth Scott, Ph.D.   Connect with Elizabeth Scott, Ph.D.: Twitter: https://x.com/ElizabethScott  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AboutStressManagement/  Website: https://drelizabethscott.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.elizabethscott/  Book: 8 Keys to Stress Management: https://www.amazon.com/Keys-Stress-Management-Mental-Health-ebook/dp/B00AJUKO5M    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!How To Be Empathetic Towards My Partner?A recovered narcissist—someone who genuinely didn't feel empathy for decades—is going to teach you exactly how to access it.In Ep458 of The 'NEW' Marriage, Cass and Kathryn Morrow break down why empathy disappears in a relationship, how to bring it back even if it doesn't come naturally to you, and what high-level empathy looks like when trust has been completely broken. Empathy isn't gone; it's buried under self-preservation. When your amygdala takes over, fight, flight, freeze, or fawn masks your ability to care.Cass shares the breakthrough moment he felt real empathy for the first time with his infant son, and details the exact two-step mental simulation he uses to connect with his family. If you've been called cold, or if you're exhausted by a partner's emotional absence, this episode will show you how to get past the walls and rebuild real intimacy.

In this video, I break down 10 signs you're in a toxic relationship with a narcissistic or emotionally abusive partner, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who's been on both sides of the dynamic. We'll talk about what it really means to ignore your intuition, why conflicts escalate so fast when you challenge them, how isolation from friends and family makes you easier to control, and why their apologies never lead to actual change. I'll show you how gaslighting, manipulation, and “I'm sorry for everything” keep you doubting yourself instead of their behavior, and why cutting people off for the chance at one toxic love leaves you more vulnerable than ever. If these signs sound familiar, this video will help you recognize the red flags, validate what you're feeling, and start planning how to protect your peace and break the cycle.

In this video, we dig into one of the hardest questions survivors ask after narcissistic or abusive relationships: do they actually regret what they did, or do they just regret losing you and their supply. As a clinically diagnosed narcissist, I'll break down how narcissists and other abusive people experience regret, why their “sorry” is usually about consequences and image, not your pain and how their defenses let them see everything as your fault so there's nothing to feel guilty about.

GLP-1s can be a powerful tool to reduce cravings, improve insulin sensitivity, decrease inflammation, and heal internal pathways...  But they can't heal the patterns that were created long before the weight gain ever happened. In this episode, I'm sharing why lasting transformation requires more than changing what you eat or what medication you take.  We also have to look at the nervous system, the beliefs we've carried for years, and the survival patterns that continue to shape our behaviors, relationships, and health. I share a simple story about straightening my naturally curly hair and how it became the perfect analogy for the way our brains tend to pull us back toward what's familiar—even when we're trying to create something new. We'll talk about:• Why weight loss is often more emotional than physical• How hypervigilance and chronic stress can impact healing• Why "self-sabotage" is often a misunderstood survival response• The hidden work that begins when food noise starts to quiet down• Why GLP-1s can support change, but can't do the mental or emotional healing for you If you've ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, old relationships, or old ways of thinking despite your best intentions, this episode is for you. Because the goal isn't just to lose weight. It's to create a life that feels safe enough to stay healthy in. I'll show you how.   When you're ready to do this for yourself, the next best step is to schedule a free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.

In this video, I break down why narcissists and toxic people gaslight you, from the perspective of a clinically diagnosed narcissist who has used gaslighting in relationships. We'll talk about how gaslighting lets them control the narrative, avoid accountability, protect their ego, and slowly erode your trust in your own memory, emotions, and reality so you become easier to manipulate. I'll walk you through common gaslighting phrases, the cycle that keeps you trauma‑bonded and self‑doubting, and the subtle ways they blame‑shift and project their behavior onto you. Most importantly, you'll learn practical steps to name gaslighting when it's happening, protect your sense of reality, and start breaking free from their control.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

Why do abusers and controlling people suddenly start to despise the exact same things they claimed to love about you at the beginning of the relationship? In this video, Lee Hammock exposes the psychological bait-and-switch behind why a toxic individual turns your greatest strengths into your biggest sins. You'll learn how traits like your independence, financial success, vibrant social life, or deep empathy are initially treated as a prize to be won during the love-bombing phase, only to be treated as a direct threat during devaluation. We break down the fragile ego structures that cause an abusive person to resent your light, why they try to extinguish the qualities that made you special, and how to spot this systematic erosion before it destroys your self-esteem and mental health.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

If you've ever felt like something was missing in a relationship with a covert narcissist — a flatness, a lack of depth, a sense that you're never quite reaching the real person — this episode is for you. In this episode, Renee breaks down the mask covert narcissists wear using a new framework: not a costume hiding a "true self," but a crown covering an exposed nerve that never developed protection. This reframe explains why the mask never fully comes off, and why even gentle honesty can trigger a reaction that feels wildly out of proportion. You'll learn why DARVO, stonewalling, disproportionate rage, and hollow apologies aren't calculated manipulation so much as reflexive alarm responses. You'll also understand why walking on eggshells around someone never actually works — because real intimacy means eventually touching the nerve, no matter how careful you are. This episode reframes narcissistic abuse recovery around a compassionate but clear-eyed truth: the emptiness you sensed was real, and it was never your failure to look hard enough.

July 4th is supposed to be about freedom, but if you're stuck with a toxic or narcissistic partner, you probably feel more trapped than ever—and that's exactly what we're talking about in this video. As a clinically diagnosed narcissist, I break down why narcissistic people ruin holidays like Independence Day, how their mood and energy when they wake up sets the tone, and why you keep getting the silent treatment, bad juju, and “attitude” every time you try to celebrate with family or friends. We'll talk about why you're damned if you do and damned if you don't, how they use control and attention‑seeking to strip you of your power, and why you don't have to bring them along just so they can make everyone miserable. I'll show you how to choose the “damned” you can live with, protect your peace, enjoy your plans and your kids, and stop giving them the narcissistic supply they're craving. If this video empowers you to make a different choice today, share it with someone else stuck in a holiday with a narcissist so they don't have to spend Independence Day feeling controlled and alone.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

It's like narcissism is oozing out of our celebrities, politicians, partners, parents, maybe even ourselves??
