Kenny Weiss
About this episode

Are you labeling someone a narcissist... when they might actually be a falsely empowered codependent?In this episode of the Heal the Hurt Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most common—and most dangerous—misunderstandings in emotional healing and relationship dynamics. Many people confuse certain types of codependency with narcissism, and that confusion can destroy relationships that are actually salvageable.Kenny Weiss explains:🔹 The exact DSM criteria for diagnosing Narcissistic Personality Disorder🔹 Why so many people on the internet are misinforming you (yes, even the popular ones)🔹 How addiction, awareness, and consistency differentiate a narcissist from a codependent🔹 Why you can’t save a narcissist—but you can help a codependent (even if that person is you)🔹 Whether Kenny himself identifies more with narcissism or codependenceBy the end of this video, you’ll have a clear framework to recognize the subtle yet crucial differences between narcissistic traits and falsely empowered coping mechanisms.👉 Stop mislabeling. Start healing.If this brought you clarity, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with someone who needs to hear it.
