Post Narc Therapy: Robin Stern, Dr. Ramani & Dr. Christine Cocchicola

This episode is sponsored by Better Help!   The doctor is in! This week’s remix episode features conversations on personality disorders, controlling behaviors, and more. Suspecting a narcissist in your midst, or recovering from a controlling relationship? This episode might be perfect for you.    This week, you’ll hear snippets from three different mental health professionals. Dr. Robin Stern is a psychological sleuth who not only wrote a book about gaslighting, but literally coined the widely used term. Then licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula helps us flip the script on the prevailing cultural and clinical conversations around narcissism, and focus less on the narcs and more on the people they impact. Finally, Dr. Christine Cocchicola explains all things coercive control, including leaving her own controlling relationship.     Also… let it be known that: The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
