Let’s be real: the term "narcissist" is thrown around too easily these days and in this episode of the Mindfulness Matrix Podcast, Mykee and Isaac dig deep into what narcissism really is, breaking down the difference between common narcissistic behaviors and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
We explore why it’s so misunderstood, how it affects relationships, and what makes overt and covert narcissism distinct. Along the way, we’ll tackle the complexities of emotional manipulation, the buzz around narcissism, and how codependency fits in. Tune in for real insights, practical advice, and ways to better understand the role of authenticity in your connections.
