Licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci takes on the internet’s favorite label — narcissism — in his latest episode of Psychobabble. Reflecting on the trend of ex-partners being called narcissists, Joe explores why this might signal personal and societal growth.
In this episode, he delves into the balance of individuality and connection in relationships, inspired by the works of Jungian analyst Robert Johnson and the lessons embedded in myths and pop culture classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Through candid storytelling and psychological insights, Joe discusses how losing oneself in a relationship, rather than maintaining healthy boundaries, often fuels perceptions of narcissism. He examines themes like splitting, individuation, and the delicate dance between giving and preserving one’s identity.
Whether you’re processing a breakup or navigating the complexities of love, this episode invites listeners to confront hard truths about relationships and self-growth.
Tune in for an honest and thought-provoking conversation that redefines how we think about love, individuality, and those so-called "narcissistic" exes.
