Summary

I'm joined by narcissism expert and licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman. We discuss the difference between a toxic relationship and a narcissistic relationship, early signs someone might be a narcissist, the difference between love bombing vs. someone being really interested in you, if a narcissist can ever change, and what causes someone to become a narcissist. We discuss how to spot narcissistic characteristics in friends and family members, what to do if your friend is dating a narcissist, why it takes on average 7 attempts to leave a narcissistic or abusive relationship, and what to do if you realize you're in a narcissistic relationship.
