Licensed mental health counselor Katie Ladner joins us to unpack the often-misunderstood concept of narcissism in relationships. Discover the difference between the clinical definition of narcissistic personality disorder and the everyday misuse of the term. We navigate through the distinct traits of narcissists, like grandiosity and charm, and explore why these individuals often project a different public persona. Through engaging examples, Katie helps us identify signs of narcissism in relationships, while also addressing the unique challenges in treating this complex disorder.
Setting healthy boundaries is crucial, particularly for women encountering toxic dynamics. We highlight the importance of emotional boundaries and how they are as essential as the physical ones we often learn about in childhood. With humor and insightful analogies, we stress the importance of personal growth and self-reflection before diving into new relationships. Katie shares her wisdom on how self-worth and confidence are key to establishing and maintaining these boundaries, encouraging listeners to prioritize their own well-being.
As we delve into the unique challenges faced by single mothers, Katie provides personal insights on setting boundaries post-divorce. We discuss the trials of co-parenting with an unaccountable ex-partner and the emotional toll it takes. Our conversation sheds light on the accessibility and benefits of therapy for single mothers, emphasizing the role of assertive communication and self-care. Through Katie's personal stories, we learn about the resilience required to navigate single motherhood while maintaining one's own mental and emotional health.
