Surviving Narcissism with Dr. Les Carter

Dr. Les Carter brings 40-plus years of counseling experience to this podcast, and that depth of practice shows in how he handles the subject. He has conducted over 65,000 therapy sessions across his career, and as a bestselling author specializing in anger management and narcissistic personality disorder, he comes at these topics from a place of considerable authority. His approach centers on what he calls Team Healthy -- focusing on dignity, respect, and civility as a contrast to narcissistic patterns. Episodes are weekly, running 31 to 45 minutes, and often feature conversations with guest therapists and authors. Recent episodes have covered overcoming narcissistic abuse with specific experts, the dismissive avoidant covert narcissist, and healing from complex trauma. The tone is measured and professorial without being stuffy -- Dr. Carter clearly cares about making this information accessible. With a 4.8 rating from 549 reviews, the show has built a loyal audience that appreciates the combination of clinical rigor and genuine warmth. Dr. Carter does not talk down to his listeners and he does not oversimplify. He is particularly good at explaining the internal experience of dealing with narcissistic people -- why it is so confusing, why you keep going back, why the guilt persists even when you know better. If you respond well to a calm, experienced guide who has truly seen it all, this one belongs in your rotation.
