Dr. Ramani - What is "Narcissistic supply."
I follow her videos on YouTube. She is one of several very helpful therapists available on the subject of NPD.
Another YouTube channel I've found helpful is "Surviving Narcissism" run by Dr. Les Carter.
I watch her videos, too. She knows a lot, and is pretty helpful.
@Organist1 four years of "self therapy" via YouTube (which I have found to be somewhat more helpful than actual sessions with a therapist) has caused me to hone down my go-to channels for this, and weed out the life coaches and people with obvious vendettas. While some aspects of enduring a relationship with a narcissist are universal, we all have our unique story of coping and survival, and the degree to which our experience impacted us. Dr. Ramani does a compassionate deep dive into symptoms and reactions, which I have found so validating
