Your conscience is that inner voice reflecting your values and morality. Ideally it would be developed in the context of empathy and respect. Narcissists, however, tend to lean toward one extreme or another regarding matters of the conscience. They can be very rigid or they can be very loose. Either way, relationships suffer. Dr. Les Carter will break this down for you in this challenging topic. Thank you to Aura for sponsoring this episode.

Initially when you encounter a covert narcissist, you can be impressed by their seeming normalcy or charm. Living behind the veneer of the False Self, they have learned how to play the game of looking nice. But over time, one trait keeps showing up that alerts you to something more sinister. Being defined by selfishness and control, this pattern will let you know that you are in the presence of an unhealthy person.
