Have you ever been love-bombed by a romantic partner only to have them go cold as soon as they’ve snagged you?

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who made you feel crazy because of their ability to seem SO great in front of the neighbours but be SO different behind closed doors?

What about a boss who steals your ideas, your thunder and your inspiration…Or a parent who always made your life about them? According to our guest today, chances are you’ve been tussling with a Narcissist.

Narcissism is a word that has well and truly entered the zeitgeist but how well do we really understand it? What are the red flags? What do we DO if we realise we’re in a relationship with one?

Margi Bowden is a counsellor and coach and, importantly, a Narcissism expert and she has ALL the answers for you.
