615 Surviving Narcissism with Dr. Les Ca...

TERRI COLE
About this episode

I am so excited to welcome my new pal and expert on narcissism, Dr. Les Carter (known as Dr. C) to the show to talk about the traits of narcissists. 

Dr. C walks us through the 8 questions narcissists can't answer and why, and it is incredibly illuminating. We talk about the inability of narcissists to be vulnerable, respect differences, manage conflict healthily, consider other opinions, and their need to be in control. 

Dr. C also shares his definition of narcissism and the most common misconceptions he sees about it. 

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
