Sneak Peak into Office Hours- Is My Partner a Narcissist? | Epi 100!

Is My Partner a Narcissist? When You’re Blamed, Erased, or Treated Like the Enemy

 In this special 100th episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on  a  moment from one of my new Office Hours sessions — a space where listeners bring real-life stories of complex, often painful relationship dynamics. You’ll hear a raw example from someone questioning whether their spouse is narcissistic, and I’ll walk you through my psychodynamic take: not only how to recognize the patterns at play, but also why people — sometimes without even realizing it — slip into dismissive or emotionally abusive behavior. Together, we’ll explore the enactments and  defense mechanisms that fuel these destructive cycles, offering clarity, compassion, and a deeper understanding for anyone navigating the emotional confusion of a narcissistic relationship.
