148 Dealing With A Narcissist

How do you identify narcissism? How do you deal with a narcissist in marriage or co-parenting? Ron Deal talks with counselor Laurel Slade-Waggoner about her personal journey with narcissism and now the professional help she offers to those in a relationship when someone seeks to control, manipulate, shift blame, gaslight, create fear, or act out in other narcissistic ways.

Counselor Slade-Waggoner offers an understanding of how narcissism develops, what it looks like in a relationship, and biblical strategies to manage the behavior, particularly in a blended family setting. Waggoner says you don't have to stay stuck in an unhealthy cycle—there is help!
