Episode 6 begins with Toni and Lisa laying the foundation of narcissism and abuse by describing and discussing: the Four Main Needs of a Narcissist (Power, Control, Manipulation and Admiration), The Three Es of Narcissists (Empathy, Entitlement, and Exploitation), The Cycle of Abuse (Tension, Incident, Reconciliation, and Calm), The Dizzying Cycle of Narcissism (Idealize, Devalue, Discard and Hoovering), and an explanation of the Cluster B Personality Disorders.

They take a deep dive into the most common buzzwords and concepts of narcissism using personal examples in their discussion. Hopefully gaining a knowledge of these concepts will help in the identification of red flags in relationships.

This episode is a great primer or refresher of these terms for listeners and us!
