    Ep 35 - Are You At Risk Of Attracting A Narcissist?

    Get Your FREE Framework: Know Yourself, Find Him & Attract Your Dream Partner w/o the overwhelm and wasted time of modern dating Today we dive deep into a topic that's been on everyone's radar: narcissism in dating and relationships. For this important and often uncomfortable topic, I was super selective about who I'd bring on the show. It was important to me to have someone with the clinical knowledge necessary to explain narcissism, as well as someone who had personal experience with it and is able to view the subject through a compassionate lens. Chelli Pumphrey ticked all those boxes! Chelli is a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of clinical experience, and the author of "Insight is 2020: How to Trust Yourself to Protect Yourself from Narcissistic Abuse and Toxic Relationships."  In this episode, Chelli and I pull back the curtain on the buzzword "narcissism," getting to the heart of what it truly means (and what it doesn't!). We explore how to spot red flags in dating, what might make you suceptible to a narcissist, and most importantly, what you can do to protect your heart and spirit from narcissistic abuse.

Chelli clarifies why it's become such a prevalent topic, often used to validate confusing and harmful relationship experiences.  Spotting a Narcissist in Dating: Learn about "love bombing," a common tactic narcissists use to reel you in, as well as "mirroring" to feign a soulmate connection. We discuss the subtle red flags that can be easily missed, especially when you're caught up in the excitement of a new romance. Why You Might Be Susceptible (It's Not What You Think!): Chelli shares what traits can make empathetic individuals more vulnerable to narcissistic abuse. We also touch on how anxious attachment styles can amplify this susceptibility. ----------------- GET THE BOOK!
