    Narcissism / Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Narcissism / Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    In this episode, Grace explores: Narcissism - Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This is a self-centred personality style, characterised as having an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own needs; often at the expense of others. The one sidedness of the relationship with a narcissist is that, they move on to exploit someone else, once the reality sinks in that you'll no longer feed their ego.
