About this episode
It’s common to think that your relationship is getting better when your partner starts showing empathy, but with a narcissist, they’re faking empathy to get what they want. So in this episode I’m going to show you how narcissists use empathy to manipulate the people around them and how you can ensure you don’t fall into the trap of thinking things are getting better.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The 3 layers of empathy
- How narcissists use fake empathy to get what they want
- The medical diagnosis of narcissism and why an official diagnosis can be an issue
- How to avoid falling into the trap of fake empathy
To understand how narcissists use fake empathy, I explore the different types of empathy and how narcissists can manipulate you by taking advantage of the behavior they see in actual empaths. I hope this episode will help you identify some of the warning signs when dealing with narcissists. I’d love to hear your stories and situations in dealing with “empathic” narcissists, so please share your experiences with me by emailing [email protected]
