How to Deal with a Narcissist

narcissism

Narcissist. An overused, misunderstood word. We throw this word around so casually.

What’s narcissism? What are common types of narcissists? How to spot one? How to manage your relationship with a narcissistic parent or partner? What’s it like to live with one? Do you ever wonder that you may be a narcissist?

About my guest

Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, CA and Professor of Psychology at California State University, Los Angeles. She takes on our modern scourges of entitlement and incivility in “Don’t You Know Who I Am”: How to Stay Sane in the Era of Narcissism, Entitlement and Incivility She is the author of the modern relationship survival manual  Should I Stay or Should I Go:  Surviving a Relationship With a Narcissist, and of You Are WHY You Eat: Change Your Food Attitude, Change Your Life.  The focus of Dr. Durvasula’s clinical, academic and consultative work is the etiology and impact of narcissism and related high-conflict, entitled, antagonistic personality styles on human relationships, mental health, and societal expectations. Her work has been featured at SxSW, TEDx, and on a wide range of media platforms including Red Table Talk, Oxygen, Investigation Discovery, Bravo, Lifetime Movie Network, CNN, and she is a featured expert on the digital media mental health platform MedCircle and on the Mel Robbins show.
