This episode covers a specific topic around narcissism -- narcissistic projection. Anna Drescher is an expert and writer on narcissism and shares this eye opening experience with others based on her expertise and experience. Anna shares how this psychological defense mechanism can be used to protect ego and then how this is used as a manipulative tactic by narcissists. Narcissists do not take accountability or responsibility for their actions. This conversation touches on cognitive dissonance, blame shifting, manipulation, gaslighting and more. Anna uses relatable and relevant examples that raise awareness and explains how projection is compounded with other narcissistic traits that we can all understand! Anna also provides ways you can begin to recognize projection and patterns and how to respond in these situations. Her compassion to help you seek clarity, not isolate, become more self-aware and implement boundaries -- very empowering!
