In this RE- RELEASE episode of No Fixed Agenda, Jeff and Omar sit down with therapist and narcissism expert Brenda Stephens for a fascinating conversation about narcissistic personalities, the behaviors that often fly under the radar, and what happens when you find yourself dealing with one in real life.
Brenda breaks down the difference between overt and covert narcissists, the manipulation tactics they use, why some narcissists surround themselves with "flying monkeys," and one of the biggest questions of all: Can a narcissist actually change?
We also get into narcissism in relationships, the professions that may attract narcissistic personalities, empathy and accountability, and some of the everyday warning signs that could help you recognize narcissistic behavior—including something as simple as watching how a person treats a waiter.
And somewhere along the way, Jeff starts wondering...
"Wait...am I a narcissist?"
It's informative, uncomfortable, funny at times, and exactly the kind of conversation No Fixed Agenda was built for.
Narcissists in the Wild with Brenda Stephens — No Fixed Agenda #82.
No agenda. No B.S. Just real conversations.
