Healing From Narcissistic People with Dr. Ramani - Terri Cole

I am so excited to have Dr. Ramani on the show today to discuss concepts from her new book, _It's Not You: How to Identify and Heal from Narcissistic People._ Many of you are likely familiar with her work, and for good reason- she is a brilliant clinician who breaks down narcissism in an accessible way, which helps people heal. I've been a fan of hers for years and I am thrilled to bring you this conversation where we explore everything ranging from how narcissists are made, the impact of love bombing on victims, how narcissistic supply works and what it is, the difference between narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and what the healing process looks like. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. *Time Stamps* 0:00 - Quote from Dr. Ramani 0:38 - Introduction from Terri 4:12 - Interest in narcissism 6:44 - Impact on victims 9:06 - Love bombing 11:40 - Narcissistic supply 13:34 - Supply & being upset 15:03 - Spotlight on narcissism 20:03 - Narcissism & narcissistic personality disorder 23:57 - Process of diagnosis 29:10 - How narcissists are made 33:19 - Healing process 38:42 - Dr. Ramani's biggest boundary struggle *If You Enjoyed This, Watch These Videos* https://youtu.be/L8DvPY7JCk0 - Self-Love Deficit Disorder and More with Ross Rosenberg https://youtu.be/TBjCmJfsDCE - The 50 Shades of Pathological Narcissism with Ross Rosenberg https://youtu.be/NRD1hRpyFSU - Healing from Narc Abuse, with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman https://youtu.be/UIqesLGijU4 - The Vulnerable Narcissist: What You Need to Know *About Dr. Ramani* Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, CA, Professor Emerita of Psychology at California State University, Los Angeles, and the Founder and CEO of LUNA Education, Training & Consulting, a company focused on educating individuals, clinicians and businesses/institutions on the impact of narcissistic personality styles.
