Dr Ramani and Silvia Saige answer listener questions about narcissistic parents and the traumas they leave in their wake.

Dr Ramani presents her 3-Part Plan to Disempower Narcissists. We draw an extremely important distinction between empathy and selflessness for people in toxic families. And we explore the idea that people with narcissistic pasts seek out problematic partners with the subconscious goal that this time, they'll "win." Spoiler: You won't.

Finally, Dr Ramani relishes an opportunity to psychoanalyze the characters of The Great Gatsby!
