Navigating relationships with narcissists can be emotionally draining. In this book, we delve into strategies from renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula. Discover how to shield yourself from the toxicity of narcissistic dynamics and begin the journey to healing.
Identifying a narcissistic individual can be challenging. They may initially captivate you with their charm and charisma, only to later undermine your self-esteem and leave you questioning your actions.
Dr. Ramani, in her book It’s Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People, emphasizes that you should not blame yourself for their behavior, as narcissists are inherently manipulative and will not change. To heal from their toxic influence and safeguard your future, it is crucial to acknowledge that their actions are not your fault.
The moderate narcissist offers enough good days to keep you invested and enough bad days that hurt you and leave you utterly confused.

By unraveling the misunderstood traits of narcissism, she sheds light on the distinctive behavioral patterns that may indicate your interactions with a narcissist.
Moderate narcissists have just enough insight to know that their behavior is not okay—but not enough regulation, mindfulness, or empathy to stop themselves.
