Narcissistic Relationship Coach and Psychologist Dr. Jaime Zuckerman joins your hosts to talk all about navigating and exiting a relationship with a narcissist. Many healthcare workers identify as fixers and people pleasers, which can make them even more likely to fall victim to a narcissist. Dr. Z is here to teach us how to protect ourselves and spot abusive behavior. She talks about whether a narcissist can actually change, and if male and female narcissists present differently. Dr. Z explains what a narcissist is not, and how narcissism functions on a spectrum. She also highlights the need for a full-on exit strategy, and the post-breakup abuse that often occurs when someone leaves a narcissist. We hope that if anything from this conversation resonates with you, or you find yourself in a relationship with a narcissist, this offers that final push you need to ask for help.   To keep up with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman visit her website, drjaimezuckerman.com and follow her on Instagram @dr.z_psychologist.
