The Red Flag Project
Welcome to The Red Flag Project – a podcast for navigating the world of dating & relationships, schemas and attachment patterns and of course red flags. We’ll be looking more deeply into why we choose the partners we do and why we often get stuck in what we call love-traps.
This podcast is for you if you’ve ever wanted to break unhealthy relationship patterns but didn’t quite know how.
We’re your hosts Dr Gemma Gladstone and Dr Justine Corry (Clinical Psychologists, Schema Therapists and Dating/Relationships Coaches) and we look forward to helping you turn confusion and self-doubt into action and self-belief.
This podcast is for information and entertainment purposes only and is no substitute for professional or relationship advice from a registered therapist. Please seek advice that is tailored to your specific needs from a mental heath or relationship expert.

8. Talking to a Narcissist? Avoid these 6 Common Pitfalls
Welcome back to the Red Flag Project
Very often, if you were raised by a narcissist, in adulthood you will more or less fall into the trap of seeking the approval of people who are narcissistic.
A narcissists acceptance of you is often conditional – as long as you are the version of you they want to see, then they treat you well, or at least in an acceptable way.
In this episode Gemma discusses 6 relational or communications pitfalls to avoid when communicating with the difficult narcissist in your life.
These are people who are really difficult to deal with or communicate with, who might gaslight you or try to manipulate you, who might be highly defensive, super sensitive to criticism, self-absorbed/self-centred; have angry outbursts; tantrums; and tend to be blaming of others and sometimes can be - condescending; patronising and belittling.
