Summary
This Friday Q&A took us all by surprise!
Thinking narcissism was quite a niche topic, Zoe & Georgia were proven wrong by the sheer amount of questions we got about it from you listeners.
They sat down for an utterly riveting conversation with psychotherapist and author, Kathleen Saxton!
They discuss how to recognise a narcissist, creating boundaries and protecting your children from narcissistic traits and how Kathleen thinks the psychological abuse suffered by someone living with a narcissist should be taken more seriously by society!
Her book My Parent The Peacock is out now and you can visit Kathleen's website psychedventures.com for more information.
