Why It's So Hard to Leave a Covert Narcissist: Attachment & Fantasy | Epi 171
Description
In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Melissa Kalt, we go beyond understanding covert narcissistic relationships and ask a much deeper question: Why do people remain emotionally invested even when they can clearly see the pattern? Together, we explore the powerful roles of attachment and unconscious fantasy. We also begin to discuss what actually creates change. If you've ever thought, "I know exactly what's happening, so why can't I let go?" this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
