“Narcissist” has become one of the most overused (and misunderstood) terms in modern psychology. But what happens when clinical language gets turned into a weapon?

In this episode, Adele and Lindsay unpack the growing trend of labelling difficult people as narcissists and why this can do more harm than good.

We explore:
 🧠 What narcissism actually is and how it differs from everyday difficult behaviour
 ⚠️ The risks of over-labelling and pathologising normal relationship conflict
 💥 How psychological terms are being used to avoid accountability or oversimplify complex dynamics
 🔍 The difference between true narcissistic patterns and unmet needs, attachment wounds, or poor communication
 🌱 How to respond to challenging relationships without defaulting to diagnosis

This episode isn’t about defending harmful behaviour, it’s about bringing precision, responsibility, and nuance back into psychological conversations.

🎧 Tune in for a grounded, clinically informed look at one of the most misused labels in mental health today.
