In this episode, Richard Grannon returns for a third time to explore the people surrounding narcissists — the enablers, the golden children, the black sheep, and everyone caught in the narcissist's orbit. We dive deep into the differences between grandiose and covert narcissism, how each type operates in the real world, and the devastating impact covert narcissistic parenting has on children. From manufactured moral outrage and emotional incest to the long-term effects on adult relationships, this conversation covers the full spectrum of narcissistic abuse dynamics. We also discuss whether social media is manufacturing more narcissists, the loneliness epidemic, and practical dating advice for spotting manipulation before it's too late.Do me a favour and click the subscribe button so you don't miss this season's line up of amazing guests like Richard!
