Summary

Following up on the conversation with Dr. Z, Kelly and Chip dive into the 9 traits of narcissism as outlined in the DSM-5. Kelly shares her own experience of being in relationships with narcissists—what it looked like, how it felt, and the signs she missed at the time. She also opens up about the indicators she watches for now to know if she’s falling into the same pattern again. Together, Kelly and Chip break down what these traits really mean, how to recognize them in real life, and how understanding them can be the first step toward breaking free from the cycle.
