Recovery FOR the Narcissist

Most narcissism podcasts are made for the people on the receiving end of narcissistic behavior. This one flips that entirely. Dr. Eric Perry created Recovery FOR the Narcissist specifically for people who recognize narcissistic tendencies in themselves and want to do something about it. That makes it genuinely rare in this space, where the dominant assumption is that narcissists never seek help. Dr. Perry has a PhD in psychology and runs the Own Your Stuff coaching program alongside the podcast. Episodes run about 15 to 30 minutes each, with 93 published so far. The content covers emotional regulation, breaking out of the drama triangle, understanding mirroring and trauma bonding from the inside, and developing real empathy rather than performed empathy. His episode on transactional analysis and the hidden roles people play in relationships is a good example of the depth here -- it goes beyond surface-level tips into actual psychological frameworks. The show has a 4.9 rating from 103 reviews, and listeners consistently mention that it helped them see their own patterns clearly for the first time. Dr. Perry manages to be compassionate without being permissive. He does not let anyone off the hook for harmful behavior, but he also does not treat people with narcissistic traits as beyond redemption. That balance is incredibly difficult to strike. If you have started to realize that you might be the problem in your relationships, or if someone you care about is trying to change, this is one of the only podcasts that speaks directly to that situation.
