Can a Narcissist Truly Love You? Unpacki...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

The term 'narcissist' seems to be thrown around a lot. It seems like a LOT of us have dated one so we wanted to unpack everything about narcissism. Nova Gibson is an expert on narcissistic abuse, the founder of Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling Service, and the author of "Fake Love." 

We unpack:

  • Covert v Overt Narcissists
  • Strategies they use like mirroring, love bombing, the discard process and gaslighting
  • Distinctions between narcissism and psychopathy/sociopathy
  • Is it possible for a narcissist to genuinely love, or are their affections always self-serving?
  • Do narcissists ever change for the next person?
  • Patterns of why people date one narcissist after another

You can get a copy of Nova's book Fake Love!
