Exploring Red Flags and Narcissism: A conversation with Darren Magee
In this conversation, I sit down with experienced therapist Darren Magee for a deep dive into red flags or warning signs in relationships, particularly focussing on what they might be and how to recognise them and why we might ignore them. Darren has extensive experience of working with narcissism with both individuals and couples and there is often an overlap between these red flags and potentially narcissistic partners.
Our conversation covers a wide range of topics, offering valuable insights into the patterns of behaviour that might constitute worrying red flags, including 'love bombing', the significance of a pattern of minor rejections, struggles to communicate and comparisons with others, including exes/previous partners.
We dive deep into his perspectives on the stages of relationships, the psychology of someone with highly narcissistic traits, covert narcissism, the 'dark personalities' (including sociopathy) and the psychology of people who get into relationships of people with highly narcissistic traits and why they might deny or endure red flags and stay in toxic and coercive relationships.
