Dr. Ramani Durvasula reveals the shocking truth that one in five people you know may be narcissistic, explaining why this personality pattern has exploded with the rise of social media and reality TV. She shares how narcissistic relationships follow a predictable cycle of love bombing, devaluation, and discarding that leaves survivors confused and blaming themselves. Through raw personal stories and decades of clinical research, she exposes why trying to fix or change a narcissist is a fool's errand, and introduces practical tools like the DEEP technique to protect yourself. You'll walk away understanding that the greatest defense against narcissism is radical self-acceptance and learning to spot red flags before you're in too deep.
