โ€œNarcissistic dynamics don’t always look like what we expect.”

Narcissism Experts Reveal How To SPOT, Handle & Heal From Trauma | Lewis Howes

Most people think narcissism looks like a loud ego, but the truth is it often disguises itself as care, protection, or even victimhood.

This episode brings together six of the world’s leading experts to walk you through every layer of the problem, from learning to spot the patterns to understanding why you keep attracting them to finally healing the wound underneath it all.

You’ll discover that the real danger isn’t just the narcissist in front of you, it’s the unexamined programming from your family of origin that keeps pulling you back into the same cycles. Whether you’re navigating a toxic relationship, recovering from one, or realizing for the first time that something in your childhood wasn’t as normal as you thought, this is your roadmap to reclaiming your self-trust and building relationships that actually fuel you.
