Summary

Do you casually throw a narcissist label on people simply because they were unkind, harsh, or brief with you? How do you know if a person is truly narcissistic or just experiencing emotions or a situation that hasn’t been communicated? In this episode of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu speaks with Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a licensed clinical psychologist, best-selling author, expert of narcissism and so much more. Dr. Ramani and Lisa go deep into the world of narcissism. Together they walk you through a complete journey to getting a better understanding of the narcissist, their motivators, and how you may be allowing yourself to be the victim. Dr Ramani begins with the 6 types of narcissistic behaviors and teaches you what the narcissistic game is and how you can play to win by removing yourself or taking responsibility for staying.  Order Dr Ramani’s book, “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” https://www.amazon.com/Dont-You-Know-Who-Entitlement/dp/1682617521/ref=sr_1_2crid=3DVXDMXL6FQAD&dchild=1&keywords=dr.+ramani+durvasula&qid=1614728895&sprefix=Dr.+Ram%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-2  SHOW NOTES: Intro | Lisa welcomes Dr. Ramani Durvasula Define | Dr. Ramani explains what a narcissist is?
