Nobody does this better than Dr.Ramani!💖

Dr Ramani quite literally saved my life and opened my eyes. She is literally the best resource for narcissism and I owe everything I know about EVERYTHING to her. I love this podcast already and now with Dr Ramani! I am even more of a fan!!!! Thank you guys so much!!!!

Dr. Ramani is so AWESOME....such a gifted speaker~ teacher!!!!

A family member was diagnosed at age 8 as NPD by a well-respected Psychiatrist. That family member is a full blown narcissist now. I believe it is inherited and I know that is not the the belief of many. I come from a family full of them and I’ve heard stories of past relatives being NPD. Dr.Ramani has been so helpful to me. Most of my friends have not dealt with this complexity. It’s a lot to unpack, but there was light when I finally understood the syndrome and distanced myself from the afflicted. They are not “normal” people. That’s hard to accept.

The concept of breadcrumbing became so clear to me when i realized that i call my cats pretty at least 5 times a day. And i still remember that 1 single time that my mum called me pretty. No wonder i didn't even mention that my ex never called me pretty.

Love this. My fav Doctor Dr. Ramani. Never tired of listening to her.

WOW! I'm a huge Dr. Ramani fan. Never thought I'd see her on this, one of my favorite podcasts. Awesome.

You are a star Doctor Ramani

I’m going through custody with a covert malignant narcissist, he treats the kids like possessions and only cares about winning and not what’s best for them. It’s infuriating and scary that I have to rely on strangers to see through his bs and lies. Ugh. He sucks 🙃

Had never heard of DR. Ramani. Currently recovering from CPTSD. This episode literally - LITERALLY - changed my life. It's like the last piece of the puzzle I needed after years of inner work...and now it's like I can see the matrix. Thank you forever to each of these ladies (shoutout to Taylor and Kelsey as well

ahh really cool. I've been watching Dr. Ramani's videos for some time! they helped me alot understanding the narcs in my life.

Dr. Ramani does some very deep dives. I'm grateful for this introduction/overview.

Both of these ladies are amazing. She is a wonderfully fantastic interviewer and Dr. Ramani is a legend 💙

So we can't diagnose them because they are not present, but the liklihood of getting them to be present is pretty much zilch. Something needs to change here. Thank god for Dr. Ramani for being the one speaking out about this. I have learned so much from her. She is an absolute godsend.

My mom is at least 3-4. I can't say about her parents and I'm not convinced she has any actual empathy. She's sooooo nice and does sooooo much and you know if you need anything she's the one to talk to. Except she can be very emotionally invalidating. And no one would ever believe me if I said she hurts me everytime I try to express my feelings.

One of my favorite parts transcript: First Steps "I would say therapy would be very important and to be self-aware in therapy. Interestingly if the average person went into therapy and said “Hey, therapist, I think I’m narcissistic and I want to work on it”, the therapist probably wouldn't believe them because they'd say “Well, nobody would ever admit to it”, right? So, I almost tell people “Don't say that part of it. Talk about the patterns in your life that are raising concerns.” The second thing I’d say is: You need to learn to become self-aware, self-reflective and mindful in everything you do. Every time you open your mouth, before you do it, even if it feels like you're in one of those delays where the words don't match up to the mouth, but every time stop catch yourself and ask yourself: -- What I’m about to say, could this hurt the other person? -- Am I being very clear and am I accounting for their point of view? And only then should you speak. And when you're feeling angry find new ways to regulate. Say: -- I’m just going to take a little walk. Or: -- I’m going to run on the treadmill. Or: -- I’m going to do my breathing exercises. You don't get to rage at other people anymore. You learn to wait in lines. You don't yell at grocery store clerks. You learn to get that contempt under control and stop thinking you've got all the answers and everyone else is more stupid than you. You learn to empathize and you practice that empathy a hundred times a day. Those are the steps you have to take."

Exactly, I came home and the place was redecorated, there’s a computer on the table, a television in the corner, and lots of new pictures on the wall, plus everything was reorganized! Except it’s all from rent to own!

I felt all those things while I was still with my narcissistic husband. I got so over him years before I left the last time. I played his game and played it well. I waited until my children, I say my kids because one of his favorite quotes was none of those little basturds belong to me. They are dangerous.

So true! “They were never your people”. I had 3 out of 7 siblings believe my ex-husband and I haven’t spoken to them in years. I’m glad now that I know who I can trust and who really loves and trusts me.

What I find interesting is that although I didn't know my ex was a narc but in our fights especially when I wrote to him during our many break ups I mentioned all the signs that Dr Ramani is saying are specific to narcs. I told him he had them and should stop and treat me right with respect and he wouldn't of course. But at that time I thought a NP was this very dramatic type of personality that only someone like a dictator would have and we'd never meet a narc in our life bc we only interact with ordinary people.

If you plan to leave make sure it's a solid plan. I remember I left my friend said there is was a place at her house for me if I left. So I left and called her and she said you know all I've got is a broom closet and my boyfriend's got certain routines I just don't think it's possible right now. .... My god given was so devastated, I had to go back to narcissist and I also was so let down and rejected by my so call d friend. I was devastated. You find out who your friends are at times like these...

Awesome insight you just changed my life view

Love this woman!!!! ♥️

This is so helpful in understanding such a confusing disorder. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️

Many good at npd but u are defently the best one 🙏🏻

Love Dr Ramini... you should explore getting Rick Rosenberg, who wrote "the Human Magnet Syndrome." He'll explain why there's a natural attraction between the narcissist and the empath, and why it always fails. Very fascinating & I presume he'd love to join your show. Craig Malkin might also shine some light on the topic.

Thankyou. So helpful and empowering.

Love Ramani, good show, first time listening to the podcast. I dont have a problem with narcassist. I have a dark triad personality, but narcassist are so easy to manipulate if you want too....The problem is a lot of you ppl are "warm empaths" and your empathy gets taken advantage of. I actually wish I had that warmness, its better than being cold.

Over 25 😭?? My current boyfriend/ex is extremely narcissistic and he’s 23. I doubt he’s going to change in 2 years. This is the part where it’s giving me up “is he going to change actually??” But no I have to remember he’s treated me like dirt for 2 years that’s not a mistake that’s character

Italian culture highly enable narcissism

I think that some of these people have come from wealthy background, indeed also with lots of privledge!

Eve with jail, you might get a call asking you to post bail!

"They were never your people". Well, there goes bipartisanship. 😒

Hello hot grannie.
