Narcism isn't the same as just being an asshole, right?

Narcism is a specific constellation of traits and symptoms,

and that doesn't just mean being a jerk.

Hey everybody, before we start the show,

I want to make a couple disclaimers. This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and some of those could be sensitive for you. I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave in consuming difficult content, but also respect

and recognize your limitations.

So please use your best judgment.

I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, but feel free to feel it out, check out the

episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's okay, but you know, feel free to give it a shot first.

I also need to say that while I am a psychologist I'm not your therapist.

This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a

substitute for professional help. So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. All right, hello friends of all varieties, this is the Hardcore Health Help Podcast, episode 349.

I'm your host Dr. Robert Duff, aka Duff the Psych.

I make mental health content for real people, just like you.

And today I have a question and answer episode.

I have two really good questions here nothing too intense on the trauma slash triggers

front but yeah two really great questions from listeners like yourselves.

If you would like to send me a question for a future episode of the show,

send me an email to deftlypsych at gmail.com

or go to deftlypsych.com and use the contact form there.

As I mentioned before, the website is back up and running, but it is sort of a work in progress.

So if you come across anything that's broken on the website or anything that you can't find.
