Welcome to The Psychology Podcast with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, where we give you insights into the mind, brain, behavior and creativity. Each episode will feature a guest who will stimulate your mind, and give you a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world we live in. Hopefully, we’ll also provide a glimpse into human possibility! Thanks for listening and enjoy the podcast.
I’m going to speculate that some of the most dangerous narcissists, severe narcissists, the less likely it is that they receive a diagnosis because they will never go to a MH professional.
As a provider in health care, Dr Ramani has been tremendously helpful to me personally and professionally. She is very empathetic, clear, concise and articulate. She is a MASTER communicator of some very complex concepts. Thank you Thank you Dr Ramani!!🙏🫶
man this is funny and also oof i cant imagine not seeing and being like oof nope fuck that. i would be one who has gone opposite of like good times. yes a self devaluation generally .. hilarious she also talks about psychedelic's lols i like mushrooms as well
I enjoyed this. She’s a vibe. Glad she’s able to eventually find and create beauty despite her family circumstance. And, boy, it’s a strong willpower to be able to distance oneself from toxic loved ones.
If DMN can cause or play a role in some mental illnesses, like depression and addiction, is it possible meditation can assist in reducing or removing the effects of these illnesses?
Technically great podcast, fascinating guest, thank you for that, but please let it be about the guest without having to add your own story or to be pandering to their ego. I really believe that honesty is the best recipe. Hope you take that in the spirit intended.
This is why you should do solo episodes, Scott. Youre more knowledgable than the majority of your guests. In this clip, I would love to learn more about what the recent resesrch is on childhood developmeny and not just pop psychology or from wellness gurus
it depends whether or not you think the values of the world mean that you finish first. What is your definition of finishing first and what is your definition of finishing last? what actually matters? in this video you come across as somebody who is still very much bought into the values that the media and the world say are important. Have these values worked for the world? Have they made people happy? look deeper…
Interesting discussion, with a lot of nuance. In regard to the dichotomy of ascending descending metaphors. It seems to me a different metaphor might close the gap. I believe my lived experience is undifferentiated from my environment. I find if I seek an internal point of calm or authentic self, it is in direct conflict with being in the moment - it’s internalizing change in absence of the mitigator. If I were to use a metaphor, I would compare it to the ocean. The ocean represents the vast idiosyncratic nature of truth in our environment. And like a boat on the ocean, we rise and fall on waves of experience. I feel it’s our openness to the vagarious nature of truth that keeps us buoyant, allowing us to navigate our sense of self in an ocean of change. I also believe active listening requires open eyes. We communicate so much about ourselves through our actions and micro expressions (which are often out of sync with carefully formulated statements) - to close ones eyes is to internalize the speaker’s words. This post brought to you by procrastination - back to the task at hand. :-)
I finally finalized my divorce with my narcissistic husband. Unfortunately we do have 4 children together, the youngest being 1, so I am stuck with him for some time, but I no longer am stuck in a state where I know nobody being an at home mother and going without just to satisfy his need for drugs and alcohol. I have come a long way, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I finally can not only see it, but look forward with excitement instead of fear to see whats on the other side. My story has only just begun, at the age of 37... ;
I disagree that people want to be held accountable for the wrongs they've committed. Certainly NOT my experience with "family" members. Loved your conversation tho! ❤
Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I got to know about my narc husband bad ways when I reach out to a private detective digitalinvestigate@gmail.com for help he did a perfect work for me I can see everything he’s doing on his device.
Kinda a difficult one. He has some relevant life experience to communicate. He comes off like a privileged narcissist, so what he's saying waste of time.
Im a newbie to Jons channel. I never saw him till yesterday. Im shocked! I thought he was much younger and more passive. Im very pleased with his content and he's an animal lover just like me! This is such an interesting channel! TRUST is something that once i lose i can never recover. Trust is a beautiful.and honorable thing. It should be valued.
Dr. Ramani's videos saved my brain from thinking I am totally worthless after experiencing narcissistic abuse from a younger guy. The silent treatment, the manipuation into getting what he wanted and the discard. It's all exactly like she talks about in videos and in her book. I hope she is not questioned to the levels that the host is trying to check her. She is right! That's all we know.
I had a friend who from what I have been able to figure out is narcissist which reminded me of gaslighting until three months ago. Another format friend . could've been narcissist. I had a five year or so time away from a friend whom I've known over 35 years. I decided to write her and our friendship was revived. When I told Ann I was friends with Sue Ann said drop her insisted voice tone. I said no and slammed the phone down. After that Ann's and my friendship wasn't the same. I haven't heard from Ann in twelve years maybe eleven years. She moved to another state and her husband divorced Ann .❤They have a daughter. .
Lol that comment 2 narcs absolute recipe for disaster made me chuckle to myself, which felt good as I've still been ruminating as just about to get rid of narc mate lol,!!!!
Dr Ramani - I am astounded that folks have been hateful towards you. What? This hurts me for you. I am so sorry there are so many jerks out there. Keep on keeping on!!
