OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
In the first part of my conversation with Dr. Melissa Kalt, we explore why covert narcissism is so difficult to recognize and why high-functioning, thoughtful, and growth-oriented individuals can become especially vulnerable to these relationships. We look beyond narcissism itself and examine the psychological fit that can develop between two people—how strengths like self-reflection, responsibility, and a commitment to growth can gradually become woven into a complex dynamic that leaves someone working harder and harder for connection, understanding, and change. If this resonates with you, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
