The Narcissist in Your Life Podcast is hosted by Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D., clinical expert on the narcissistic personality, psychotherapist and author. I offer in-depth analysis, strategies and practices for those psychologically and emotionally harmed and abused by toxic, predatory narcissistic personalities through my books: Recovering and Healing After the Narcissist and Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life, international telephone consultations and global podcasts. I put the emphasis on helping individuals to access the calming, restorative parts of the parasympathetic body/mind systems that lead to healing, recovery, personal transformation and the evolution of your true, authentic self and your unique creative gifts.

 Excerpt from my book: Freeing Yourself From the Narcissist in Your Life: "Envy is a secret taboo emotion.  People don't talk about their envies. Being envious makes us look bad. It is embarrassing to openly admit that we want what someone else has. There is no one more envious than the narcissist. They plot to get whatever they want, especially if it belongs to someone else."

"Narcissists, especially those who are highly successful, appear to glide smoothly through life, snatching everything they can. They cheat people and get away with it, lie at every turn, manipulate everyone in their circle, especially family members, psychologically harm the most vulnerable around them."

If they are high achieving narcissists, the adoring audience in their golden circle, give them a pass despite all of the pain and agony they cause others. 

Envy is a feeling of unease that becomes and obsession of coveting another's success, possessions, public image and importance. We see this envy in their blood thirsty competitiveness. 

Narcissists are often obsessed about money and the acquisition of material largesse. These obsessive needs are played out in their chronic restlessness and frenetic acrobatics from one relationship to another. Narcissists crowd their lives with constant activity that will bring them an abundance of narcissistic supplies. Envy fuels the narcissist's rage. If he loses an important contract that is feeding his narcissism or is overlooked for a power position he has prized, the narcissist flies into a fury. He despises and envies the individual who bettered him. 

The narcissist doesn't have any real relationships. Empty, shallow and along, he leads a counterfeit life, unable to create a warm meaningful connection to anyone. 

Having people in our lives whom we can count on and care about us deeply and have our welfare uppermost in their minds and are supportive of our growth as individuals in invaluable. 

Your daily life is a testimony to your personal healing and growth, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually as you define this. 

As you leave the narcissist behind, you feel your core strength, resolve and steadiness reinforcing itself deep inside. You have returned to your true, authentic self.
