Dr. Ramani Durvasula reveals the shocking truth that one in five people you know may be narcissistic, explaining why this personality pattern has exploded with the rise of social media and reality TV. She shares how narcissistic relationships follow a predictable cycle of love bombing, devaluation, and discarding that leaves survivors confused and blaming themselves. Through raw personal stories and decades of clinical research, she exposes why trying to fix or change a narcissist is a fool's errand, and introduces practical tools like the DEEP technique to protect yourself. You'll walk away understanding that the greatest defense against narcissism is radical self-acceptance and learning to spot red flags before you're in too deep.Dr. Ramani’s books:Should I Stay or Should I Go?"Don't You Know Who I Am?"It's Not YouDr. Ramani's InstagramDr. Ramani's YouTube channelIn this episode you will:Discover why personality doesn't change and how narcissists are trapped in a cycle of self-loathing they project onto everyone around themUnderstand the DEEP technique that protects you from narcissistic manipulation without engaging in exhausting argumentsBreak free from the athlete's trap of believing you can fix any relationship if you just work harder at itRecognize the love bombing cycle that seduces you in the beginning and keeps you hoping things will return to how they wereMaster the difference between healthy jealousy and pathological jealousy that signals dangerous narcissistic patternsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1858For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:Evy Poumpouras – greatness.lnk.to/1852SCJerry Wise – greatness.lnk.to/1747SCGabor Maté – greatness.lnk.to/1849SC Get more from Lewis!
