Have you ever wondered if someone you know is a narcissist? Today, Michelle talks about narcissistic personality disorder and its characteristics and explains the traits that lead to a diagnosis, such as a grandiose sense of self-importance, lack of empathy, and a need for excessive admiration. It can be a challenge to deal with someone with narcissistic traits in relationships, make communication difficult, and even, serve as a foundation for emotional abuse. Therapy rarely helps the person with the disorder, but seeking therapy can help those they encounter. The episode ends with a mention of the upcoming discussion on borderline personality disorder and an invitation to join a membership community for support and coaching.
