Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet? "Healing from narcissistic abuse is individuating, becoming autonomous and ultimately rising into your authentic self. That's what it is. Your authentic self may not forgive." - Dr. Ramani Durvasula In this powerful and provocative episode, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a renowned clinical psychologist and expert on narcissistic abuse, challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding forgiveness and healing.

Dr. Durvasula's insights are particularly relevant for entrepreneurs and high-achievers who may have encountered narcissistic personalities in their personal or professional lives. She provides a nuanced understanding of how narcissistic abuse can impact one's sense of self-worth and reality, and offers practical strategies for reclaiming personal power and authenticity. Through compelling examples and research-backed advice, Dr. Durvasula illuminates the path to true healing, which she defines as a process of individuation and self-discovery rather than a mandate to forgive.
