Podcast #6 - The Orchid (Echoist) and the Oleander (Narcissist)
On this podcast I talk about the Orchid who is typically an Echoist and the Oleander who is always a Narcissist. The Oleander is lovely flowering plant that grows in warm climates, it is considered invasive in the USA, and it is also toxic.
If you are not familiar with the term Echoist you will be after listening to this podcast. Echoists are the opposite of the Highly Sensitive Narcissist. I talk about how I healed from growing up surrounded by narcissists that formed my echoism . I reference the excellent book by written by Christopher Lasch in 1979, The Culture of Narcissism.
Check out the You Tube post below if you would like more information on this book.

I also talk about how our capitalistic culture cultivates narcissism and conditions Empaths into becoming Echoists, who support narcissists at the expense of realizing their own full potential.
