Based on the overwhelming amount of feedback from the "Waking Up to Narcissism" podcast, particularly in the form of questions, Tony Overbay, a licensed marriage and family therapist, answers listener questions specifically related to narcissism, narcissistic traits and tendencies, and emotional immaturity in relationships. A percentage of the proceeds of the podcast will go toward helping people in narcissistic or severe emotionally immature relationships receive help in the form of counseling, legal and moving costs, and providing additional tools to help people rediscover their self-worth, and learn how to successfully find their voice, their sense of purpose and understand that everybody has the right to their own opinion, experience and goals out of life.

I’ve never heard of the difference between primary and secondary emotions before. I learned a lot! Nate and Marla are smart, knowledgeable, articulate, warm, funny, and all-around delightful. Their desire to help others comes through loud and clear. Thanks, you two! ***** Highly recommend this podcast!
