Ep 42 - Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a clinical psychologist who studies how narcissism impacts human relationships and mental health. Dr. Ramani gives us a list of red flags to look out for when you think you’re dealing with a narcissist and gives us advice on how to deal with the narcissists that surround us- whether it’s a partner, a parent, or a coworker or boss. She also answers our most burning question on the topic: can narcissists actually change?
