S4 Ep36: EP 36 - The Storyteller: Narcissist's Playbook

TRIGGER WARNING (child abuse) - Barry Sonnenfeld is one of the survivors of narcissistic abuse who features in the documentary, The Narcissist's Playbook. You'll know his outstanding work in the movies, including When Harry Met Sally, The Addams Family and Men In Black films and much more. What you may not know is that both Barry's parents were narcissists and they knowingly allowed a relative to abuse him under their noses.

The impact on him has been profound. He disappeared into other worlds in his head through play, which translated into his work as an adult. Comedy, his imagination and meeting his soul mate, "Sweetie", ensured Barry has a happy ending to his own life story.
