In this important episode with Adriana Bucci, we discuss narcissistic personality disorder. Adriana walks us through the signs that you are dealing with a narcissist. We detail what the narcissist wants and how they go about getting it. Adriana unpacks the specific cycle the narcissist takes their targets on and the emotional states they put you through to gain control. She explains the layers of this abuse and how it culminates in a trauma response for its targets. We go through the signs that you are suffering from repressed trauma, the connection between chronic pain and previous trauma, learned hopelessness and so much more. Plus, the only three boundaries you can have with a narcissist. And how to start getting away from a narcissist including techniques that you can use immediately to change their behavior towards you. Adriana is the founder of Let's Get Your Shift Together. After nearly 3 decades of enduring narcissistic abuse and 4 years of dealing with severe chronic pain, she made the choice to embark on her own healing journey. Doing her inner work not only helped her heal from the physical pain, but it also helped her heal from the narcissistic abuse she endured from being raised by a narcissistic mother, other close relationships, and even colleagues/toxic workplaces. She is a certified professional life coach, mind-body fitness coach, stress management coach, and SafeSpace trauma informed practitioner. Her goal is to empower survivors of narcissistic abuse to heal, set boundaries, and live life on their own terms!
