This course is designed to empower you to identify unhealthy dynamics with vulnerable narcissists in your life, to help you become more aware of how you might contribute to these dynamics, and to provide you with some basic examples on how to break out of unhealthy cycles. It will also touch on questions like:

· Why is it important to become aware of this type of narcissism?

· Why can it be difficult to spot this particular type of narcissism?

· Why are dynamics with vulnerable narcissism particularly toxic?

· Why is it that empathic people are especially prone to the unhealthy dynamics created by vulnerably narcissistic people?

This course will not provide you with any clinical criteria to diagnose anyone. Rather, it will provide you with a checklist of easily understandable red flags to spot signs of vulnerable narcissism in your everyday interactions. Furthermore, you will find examples of common unhelpful dynamics in conversations with vulnerably narcissistic people, and exercises designed to help you reflect on these dynamics so you can eventually overcome them. This course is not designed to help you win the common power games with vulnerable narcissists (i.e. to “beat them at their own game”), but to empower you in a way that you are less susceptible to or even interested in entering these power games in the first place.
