Healing Narcissism: A Journey of Self-Reflection and Growth
No one else is responsible for your wounds. No one else can heal you, but you, other people, can help you and ultimately reflect back to you the wounds and injuries and traumas that you have had.
Have you ever wondered if someone labeled as a 'narcissist' can truly change? In this eye-opening episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein tackles the often misunderstood world of narcissism and the potential for personal growth.

He emphasizes that change is possible for anyone willing to reflect, heal, and become more self-aware. Yitz breaks down the concept of narcissism, clarifying that it involves a conscious choice to exploit others for personal gain, rather than mere unawareness.

Therapy plays a crucial role in this process, offering tools for self-reflection and dismantling negative patterns.
