The HIDDEN SIGNS Someone Is In A NARCISS...

Impact Theory
About this episode

Knowing the difference between being in a healthy relationship and being in a relationship with someone that has narcissistic traits can save you a world of pain and frustration. One of the worst things that can happen in your relationship is finding out after time invested and even kids being involved that your partner is narcissistic and gaslighting you every chance they get.

Dr. Ramani has been shining the light on the dark side of narcissism for years. The 155M+ views of her channel is very telling that women (and men) are trying to understand and identify narcissism, and figure out how to heal the trauma and emotional damage that comes with being in a relationship with one.

This episode exposes the power play, insecurity, and fragility of the narcissist’s ego. They don’t want to see you out shine, outperform, or surpass them on any level. Setting boundaries and exhibiting strength and power is not something they will tolerate from you.

So what do you do if you find yourself bound and attached to an unhealthy relationship being gaslit in a never ending cycle of narcissistic abuse?

Dr. Ramani’s solution is “Don’t go D.E.E.P. Watch this episode to find out exactly what that means.
