Unveiling Narcissism: Navigating Relationships with Self-Absorbed Personalities with Karyl McBride PhD

Original Air Date Wednesday, March 13 , 2024.

Understanding and navigating interpersonal dynamics is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. As an example, in a family where one or both parents are narcissists, it can be difficult for children to achieve a sense of self. Children growing up in this unhealthy environment tend to take on particular roles that fit within the confines of the narcissist’s point of view.

To discover best practices for navigating relationships with self-absorbed personalities, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has forty years in public and private practice, Dr. Karyl McBride.

Dr. McBride has focused on private research regarding parental narcissism and the debilitating effects of narcissism in relationships. She describes the 5-step recovery process from her book, Will the Drama Ever End? Untangling and Healing from the Harmful Effects of Parental Narcissism and shares stories of clients who are on the road to recovery.
