On today’s episode of The CLS Experience we have a powerful live conversation from CLS Genesis in New York City with one of the world’s leading experts on narcissism, Dr. Ramani. Together, Craig and Dr. Ramani go deep into how narcissistic patterns show up in relationships, leadership, business, family dynamics, and everyday life. Dr. Ramani breaks down what narcissism actually is, including validation seeking, entitlement, emotional dysregulation, manipulation, gaslighting, and inconsistent empathy, while explaining why culture often rewards these traits. They explore trauma bonding, why traditional boundaries often fail with narcissistic people, and how self abandonment becomes one of the biggest warning signs. Dr. Ramani also shares the difference between healthy ego and narcissism, how childhood wounds and conditional love can fuel achievement and success, and why healing begins by reclaiming your power instead of waiting for closure. This conversation is emotional, practical, deeply eye opening, and filled with breakthroughs for anyone navigating toxic dynamics, healing trauma, or seeking deeper self awareness and personal freedom. Let's go deep.
