That egocentricity is also observed in narcissism. And in fact, I would actually say, if somebody is working with a narcissist who is in sobriety, I'd say what you wanna do is play a little bit of a game with them and put so much pride and ego into their sobriety that they fight for it.
Ever wondered how narcissism and addiction intertwine? In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', Tim Westbrook sits down with Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist and renowned expert on narcissism, to unravel this complex relationship.

From gaslighting to emotional imbalances, the conversation is packed with insights that are both eye-opening and practical. If you're curious about the psychological underpinnings of narcissism or looking for strategies to navigate such relationships, this episode is a must-listen.
