Part 7/9:
For those already in relationships with narcissists, Dr. Romany provides crucial advice. She strongly urges the need for therapy, both individual and couples, to address the dynamic at play. However, she warns that working with a narcissist in therapy can be particularly challenging due to their tendency to manipulate and charm, which can derail the therapeutic process.
If physical or emotional abuse is present—particularly severe situations—she advises immediate action, including reaching out for professional help and potentially leaving the relationship altogether.
