The Emma Guns Show
Dr Ramani Durvasula | Top tips for spotting a narcissist.
‘Pushing back on narcissism is a human rights issue’.
Dr Ramani Durvasula is a clinical psychologist, best-selling author and professor of psychology who shares her expertise on narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder on the latest episode of the podcast.
The term ‘narcissist’ is bandied around a lot but it’s an overused and misunderstood word, which is why I asked Dr Ramani to join me on the show. During our conversation she helps unpick and unpack its complexities, what it is, what it isn’t and how to navigate the world knowing that being a victim of narcissism can cause you real harm.
If you think you understand what a narcissist is and how to spot one then think again…
In this episode, @drramani shares:
- The difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder.
- Why the label ‘narcissist’ is too broad.
- Whether narcissism is innate or learned.
- The emotional damage a narcissist can cause and why the fallout can be so devastating for the victim.
- The types of people who are most likely to get caught in a narcissist’s trap.
- Why narcissism is rewarded in today’s society and why it’s turning narcissism into an epidemic.
- Whether a narcissist ever gets their just deserts.
- Whether you should ever tell an narcissistic off, and much more…
Dr Ramani’s books are available now at all good book stores:
Don’t You Know Who I Am? How to stay sane in an era of narcissism, entitlement and incivility.
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist.

Recovery isn't linear, but this 'blip' was one that I couldn't fend off with my usual tactics but I did manage to navigate it differently from when I was in the gripes of binge eating disorder.I hope sharing this makes someone else feel a little bit better or, at least, a little less alone.📰 I also wang on about hydration sachets in this episode including:Ancient & BraveHumantraWillpowders👗 In this video I'm wearing:Vieve Varsity Sweatshirt, £45.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Maybe I don't need to be that organised?

Perhaps a little organised chaos is fine?📰 Let's also talk about the state of the world, but not for too long and how people seem to be getting less and less tolerant of each other.🧴 This really is a beautiful moisturiser. It might be a gel designed for combination to oily skin types, but I'm off the belief that anyone will enjoy the instant quench and comfort it gives skin.

14:05|✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843This could backfire terribly... | The Emma Guns Show📝 I had such a wonderful response to the most recent episodes about how to get on top of your health and fitness goals, but at the same time, I've noticed tonnes of content online that gives the impression that making lifestyle changes is really quite easy and just involves stopping doing one thing and starting doing another. And, in many cases, it involves doing all these things at one. I thought I'd poke fun at this a bit (let's see if it backfires) and hopefully engage some new listeners/viewers who might benefit from hearing a different, less idealistic but hopefully more helpful approach.📰 The Instagram I posted is here: 👗 In this video I'm wearing:Adanola Rib Racer Vest Top, £24.99.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/The Instagram I posted is here:
