TITLE

Narcissism, Gaslighting, Love-Bombing, Hoovering and Healing From A Narcissistic Relationship

GUEST

Amy Marlow-MaCoy, LPC

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Amy talks about how gaslighting can show up in any relationship, and how to spot it when it happens. She talks about how to identify a narcissist, and we talk about codependency, love-bombing, hoovering, grey rock, extinction burst, and revisionist history. Amy gives lots of specific examples of what a narcissist might say, and how the HSP can respond. She talks about why gaslighting is so effective and how it undermines self-confidence and the self-blame that ensues. Amy also talks about how one can begin to heal and develop self-compassion, assertiveness, and embracing one’s sensitivity.
