Ep 371: Unmasking Narcissism: Exploring NPD and Pathways to Empowerment with Dr. Mariette Jansen

Join us for an insightful exploration into the world of narcissism with Dr. Mariette Jansen, a renowned psychotherapist, life coach, and author. Dr. Mariette brings her expertise to the table as we unravel the complexities of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and its distinction from narcissistic behaviors. Discover the nuances of NPD, characterized by a lack of empathy and an inability to accept being wrong, all rooted in low self-esteem and a desperate need for external validation. Dr. Mariette shares her personal journey into this field, influenced by her upbringing with a narcissistic mother, and we discuss the potential origins of narcissism, including genetic, environmental, and social factors.

In addition, we explore the path to healing from narcissistic abuse with a focus on personal empowerment. Our discussion includes insights from the book "From Victim to Victor," which offers guidance for those affected by narcissists, emphasizing self-healing. Discover practical tools, such as exercises and online quizzes, designed to help individuals identify and manage narcissistic influences in their lives. Dr. Mariette also shares her own experiences with self-acceptance and navigating life's challenges, encouraging listeners to prioritize their well-being over others' expectations. Connect with Dr. Mariette online, and explore her video series "Unspark the Narc," which provides strategies for handling narcissistic behaviors while maintaining self-confidence.
