The Legacy of a Narcissist

Episode notes

Some important questions tackled in this week’s episode with the author of Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers:

When does someone have an actual personality disorder and when are they simply being a bit of a jerk?
Can someone with genuine NPD even recognize that they have it?
What does therapy look like for someone with NPD?
How does a narcissistic parent influence the mental and emotional makeup of their child?
