Understanding Narcissism: the distinction between Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism

These days it seems like everyone is a Narcissist. The term 'narcissism' is a bit of a buzzword that is used to describe anyone who comes across as a little self absorbed, or 'full of themselves', but is that true? Is everyone a narcissist? And what is the distinction between a narcissist and the rest of us?

In this episode, Cass breaks down:

• the DSM criteria for a diagnosis of Narcissism and how it is outdated
• the different presentations of Grandiose and Vulnerable Narcissism (or overt and covert narcissism)
• when a personality trait becomes a personality disorder
• how to spot a Grandiose or Vulnerable Narcissist in your life and what do do about it
