Narcissists We Love: Partners, Parents & the Pain
‘Narcissism at home is often modelled by the Parent.' Our kids pick up from our emotional responses and interaction with other people - which, in turn, shape our children's mental health and personality traits.

Our expert Guest this week is Psychiatrist, Dr Gagu Matsebula. With his many years of experience in mental health treatment, he explains how the spectrum of Narcissism works.
