This is the Terry Cole show and as you might have guessed I'm your host Terry Cole

For over two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist, love and boundaries expert, and I'm also the founder of the Real of Revolution and Boundary boot camp.

On this show, I'll bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines in the fascinating world of entertainment, empowerment, and mental health.

So what I want to give you today is a whole bunch of information and I will create some sort of

checklists so that rather than sorting through everything I'm talking about if you want to just

download the little cheat sheet you'll be

able to see like oh these are what goes on in a nark family these are the things

that go on and these are the roles that we play. So a couple of weeks ago, I think it was the May 27th episode of the Terry Cole show,

we talked about dysfunctional families and like what does that entail?

You will see that there is some crossover but narcissistic family systems are a really specific type of dysfunction.
