- The episode discusses the concept of narcissism, focusing on the covert or introverted type, which is considered the most dangerous.
- Narcissists are born from emotional abandonment and neglect, leading them to develop an over-inflated sense of self or a low self-worth.
- Covert narcissists are emotionally damaging to those who grow up with them and often perpetuate emotional abuse in their relationships.
- Physical symptoms of covert narcissistic abuse may include issues with the immune system, nervous system, thyroid, and liver. Emotional symptoms may include fear patterns, imposter syndrome, and a lack of access to one's own feelings.
- Common traits of covert narcissists include entitlement, victimhood, drama, arrogance, validation seeking, passive aggressiveness, hyper-sensitivity, argumentativeness, devaluing of others, resistance to change, and anger.
- Narcissists lack a true sense of self and communicate from a false self, which makes them convincing and can be attractive to those with victim, fixer, and rescuer tendencies.
- The next episode will focus on the topic of empaths and narcissists, and will introduce the concept of the "empathetic narcissist."
- The solution to recognizing and dealing with narcissistic abuse is awareness, readiness, ownership, accountability, and responsibility (ROAR).
