🧠Aware of Narcissism - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Ruth Ann Harpur
This video explores why being aware of narcissistic traits does not automatically mean someone cannot be narcissistic and why self-diagnosis is often more complex than social media suggests. It looks at the difference between grandiose and vulnerable (or covert) narcissism, and how behaviours linked to attachment styles, neurodivergence, OCD, or trauma are frequently misinterpreted. This video can help you understand why labelling partners or yourself with clinical terms can be damaging, and why careful psychological assessment really matters.
