The Mental Healness Podcast

Losing my dog, Lala, has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m giving you an inside look at how I used to process grief versus how I’m handling it now. For years, therapy has been about stripping away the armor, and nothing tests that work like the loss of a "soul dog."
Lala was a Jackabee (Jack Russell & Beagle mix) who taught me more about unconditional love than most people ever could. Today, I’m being honest about the "Narcissistic Numbness" I used to feel and the visceral pain I’m feeling now. If you’ve ever wondered if a narcissist can truly love a pet, or how therapy actually changes the way we feel, this video is for you.
IN THIS VIDEO:
The Old Me vs. The New Me: How I would have "minimized" this loss 5 years ago.

The "Supply" Trap: Why pets are often the only creatures a narcissist feels safe being vulnerable with.

Therapy in the Raw: The specific work I’ve done to sit with grief instead of running from it.

Lala’s Legacy: Honoring the Jackabee who helped me become more human.

"The truth doesn't just set you free—it strips them of their power."They spend their entire lives building a facade. They lie, they manipulate, and they curate a version of themselves that the world loves. But what happens when you pull back the curtain? Today on MentalHealness, I’m breaking down why exposure is the ultimate "Narcissistic Injury."As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m telling you: our power lives in your silence. When you speak the truth—with facts, evidence, and a calm voice—you trigger a "Narcissistic Collapse" that we can’t easily recover from. We’re talking about why they fear your voice, how to expose them safely, and why the truth is the only thing a narcissist can't manipulate.

"I’ve been pretending to be happy since I was a kid."On March 13, 2026, Doja Cat dropped a bombshell on TikTok: she’s been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). As a diagnosed narcissist, her description of "masking"—faking her personality and her joy for nearly 30 years—stopped me in my tracks.Today, we’re looking at the psychology of the "Celebrity Mask." We’re discussing how childhood survival traits become adult personality disorders, and why Chappell Roan’s move toward radical boundaries inspired Doja to finally get real. Is this the start of a "Unmasked" era for celebrities?

"It’s not just an annoyance; it’s a threat to our existence."Ever wondered why a narcissist seems to have a personal vendetta against certain people while they "tolerate" others? Today at 3:30 PM EST, I’m pulling back the curtain on the Narcissistic Hit List. As a diagnosed narcissist, I’m breaking down the four categories of people who trigger our deepest rage and why your "strength" feels like an "attack" to us. We’re talking about the people with iron-clad boundaries, the bosses who don't buy the charm, and the people who are simply better than us in ways we can't copy.

"How can they sleep at night after what they did to me?"It’s the question that haunts every survivor. You’re looking for a sign of a conscience, a tear, or a genuine "I’m sorry." But it never comes. In this video, I’m breaking down the psychological mechanics of guilt and remorse from the perspective of a self-aware narcissist.I’m explaining why we don't experience "Remorse" (feeling bad for hurting you), but we do experience "Shame" (feeling bad for being caught or looking like the villain). Learn how the narcissistic brain deletes guilt to keep the "Hero Mask" intact.
