It's also really very, very reasonable for us to recognize that we can encounter great tragedy and sadness that we need to actually notice when we're encountering somebody who doesn't have the skill set of empathy for others.
Ever felt like one relationship in your life is just way tougher to handle than the rest? Dr. Anna Baranowsky is here to shed some light on why that might be. In this episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast, she dives deep into the world of personality disorders, focusing on narcissism and anti-social personality disorder, also known as sociopathy.
If you’ve ever dealt with someone who seems to thrive on conflict and shows zero empathy, you might be dealing with a narcissist. These individuals can be emotionally explosive and even abusive when they don’t get the attention they crave. Dr. Baranowsky brings in guest speaker Ingrid from Show Boundaries, who introduces the 'Observe rather than Absorb' approach.
This technique is all about learning to recognize the tactics used by narcissists and paying attention to your own reactions rather than getting sucked into their drama. Ingrid also explains the 'Crack in the CD' method for dealing with them in real-time. Dr. Baranowsky doesn’t stop there. She also discusses the signs of sociopathy and offers a reparenting approach for managing strong emotions that arise from these toxic interactions.
This episode is packed with practical advice and strategies for anyone struggling with difficult relationships, whether it’s with a partner, friend, or co-worker. Tune in to gain a better understanding of personality disorders and learn how to navigate these challenging dynamics with empathy and self-care.
