This episode dives into the hidden dance between grandiosity and vulnerability in narcissistic individuals. You'll learn how to recognize the shift from content to process, why timing matters, and how to intervene without triggering shame or rupture. A compassionate, real-world guide to navigating the most charged moments in the healing journey.
