5 SIGNS OF A PSYCHOLOGICALLY SAFE PERSON discusses the concept of psychological safety coined by Amy Edmondson, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School. Professor Edmondson defines psychological safety as “a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking.” 

This message applies her concept to personal relationships for survivors of narcissistic abuse and talks about some of the ways survivors can set themselves up for deep healing and positive health outcomes by recognizing the signs of psychologically safe people.

This message touches on the importance of discernment in the aftermath of narcissism exposure with regard to the individuals a survivor chooses to associate with as well as the environment(s) the survivor chooses to occupy which play a key role to the survivor's recovery process.
