Read what our viewers are saying

This shift in clarity is in no small part thanks to your enlightening education, which you so graciously put out into the world.

The main point I'm trying to get across is my deep gratefulness to you for your psychoanalytic teachings, which have FINALLY brought some relief and SANITY for me!

…. how much RELIEF your podcasts and YouTube videos are bringing me. THANK YOU! Thank you! Thank you!

…..you are singular among podcasts, in that you are compassionate, curious and not only looking to help and heal those who identify as victims but those who identify as narcissists.

I really just wanted to let you know how much impact you have and the precious gift of relief and sanity you have given to me, which was elusive despite the 4-5 years work I've put in prior.

I am just so thankful for your podcast, that I found while continuing my search on healing from narcissism..

Listening to your podcasts has helped me to understand some problems within ME and my own personality. For example, I was listening to your recent episode on anger, hatred, and rage when I realized that I myself am plagued with symptoms of hate and rage. For some reason I'm able to take your approach and be open- minded about applying the concepts to my own behaviors that match your descriptions as well as applying them to what I see in my husband's.

You're being so helpful to me; thank you! I took your questions and went back through my journal & wrote out the answers to your questions pertaining to specific conflicts, and that is helping me ….

Dr. Mazzella, you are a rare gem of a psychotherapist. You are one of very few authentic professionals on YouTube who isn't afraid to tell it like it is ...

Your balanced perspectives are exactly what people need to hear, so they can open their minds and challenge their thoughts, strong beliefs, perspectives, and actions.

 

Your content is so valuable to me and others. I've shared your YT channel to 2 friends so far that I think would benefit. …Honestly, I think everyone could benefit from your extensive knowledge on these issues!

In this video, we'll break down the real difference between narcissism and gaslighting. Learn how to spot the signs and protect yourself from toxic behavior.

we'll delve into the real difference between narcissism and gaslighting. Learn how to identify and understand these toxic behaviors!

Confused about the difference between narcissism and gaslighting? Watch this video to learn the real distinction between the two behaviors.

Narcissism vs Gaslighting: What's The REAL Difference

The Narcissism Decoder January 25, 2026 9:00 am

In this conversation on The Narcissism Dakota, Dr. Anthony Mazzella explores a question many clinicians and loved ones ask: Why do some people with narcissistic patterns actually seek treatment?

This episode examines how narcissistic defenses—particularly grandiosity—can only hold reality at bay for so long. When relationships, careers, or family bonds begin to fracture, the grandiose structure collapses, forcing a confrontation with reality. For some, this “bottoming out” becomes the moment where change feels necessary, not optional.

Dr. Mazzella also clarifies the spectrum of narcissism, distinguishing everyday narcissistic traits from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), and explains how different narcissistic presentations—from vulnerable and covert to malignant—attempt to repair a fragile sense of self in very different ways.

This discussion offers a nuanced, clinical perspective on narcissistic collapse, motivation for treatment, and why intimacy is often where narcissistic patterns become most visible.

When Narcissism Meets Reality

The Narcissism Decoder January 18, 2026 9:00 am

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella shows how insight transforms destructive cycles. When a person sees that their loved one’s independence isn’t an attack, guilt begins to replace rage, and remorse replaces retaliation. This shift marks the beginning of emotional repair — and the end of the fantasy that control equals love.

What If Being TOO SENSITIVE is Actually a NARCISSISM Survival Skill

The Narcissism Decoder January 4, 2026 9:01 am

Why do the holidays trigger resentment, withdrawal, or emotional shutdown—especially around family? In this special holiday episode of The Narcissism Decoder, Dr. Anthony Mazzella explores Narcissism and the Holidays, focusing on why seasonal gatherings can disrupt the inner stability you’ve worked to maintain all year.

Rather than viewing narcissistic behavior as simple selfishness, this episode examines narcissistic vulnerability—a state in which the inner world feels exposed and fragile. Family dynamics, proximity, and social obligations can interrupt the “psychic retreat” many rely on for emotional regulation, leading to defensiveness, reactivity, and withdrawal.

This episode offers a deeper psychological framework for understanding holiday shame, emotional exposure, and narcissistic defenses, helping explain what is happening beneath the surface during the most emotionally charged time of year.

Narcissism and the Holidays: How Shame Turns Into Holiday Rage

The Narcissism Decoder December 21, 2025 9:01 am

In this episode of The Narcissism Decoder, Dr. Anthony Mazzella explains why many people with narcissistic patterns misunderstand their own holiday distress. While the stress is often blamed on noise, obligations, or family chaos, what is actually being threatened is the psychic retreat—the internal structure that protects a fragile self from shame, exposure, and emotional collapse.

As holiday gatherings demand engagement, this retreat is forced to loosen, intensifying internal conflict and anxiety. Arriving already depleted, individuals become more reactive, misinterpret social cues, and experience heightened sensitivity to criticism or exclusion. The familiar narcissistic defenses—withdrawal, control, forced charm, or grandiosity—emerge not from arrogance, but from an urgent attempt to rebuild psychological safety in real time.

This episode reframes Narcissism and the Holidays as a struggle between protection and connection, offering a compassionate understanding of why shame, resentment, and emotional reactivity escalate—and how awareness of these internal shifts can begin to restore balance.

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella explores the unconscious motives behind humiliation, devaluation, and gaslighting. What feels like cruelty or control often hides a deeper terror — the fear of separateness. Beneath the sadism lies a fragile need to preserve the illusion of perfect unity.

Why Do Narcissists LOVE to Humiliate You and How to Make Them STOP

The Narcissism Decoder November 30, 2025 9:00 am

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella explores how early experiences of shame and control shape our adult struggle with receiving care. When kindness or success triggers humiliation, we may attack or reject the very goodness we long for — mistaking safety for danger.

The EXPOSED LIE About Finding Happiness in a Chaotic World

The Narcissism Decoder November 23, 2025 9:00 am

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella introduces the concept of repetition compulsion — the unconscious drive to recreate early painful experiences, hoping this time the ending will be different. But without understanding the deeper emotional dynamics, we stay caught in the same suffering.

The SECRET Reason You're Stuck in Toxic Patterns

The Narcissism Decoder November 16, 2025 9:00 am

Often, what looks like frustration in adulthood—sighs, complaints, or subtle protests—isn’t really about the traffic, the silence, or the small conflict. It’s about the old, internalized voice of a parent that once made you feel guilty for wanting independence, success, or even simple recognition.

These unconscious patterns don’t stay in the past. They resurface in marriages, friendships, and workplaces—until we bring them into awareness. The good news? Recognizing them is the first step toward interrupting the cycle and reclaiming your own voice.

Can Childhood Patterns Predict Your Relationship Success?

The Narcissism Decoder November 2, 2025 9:00 am

When a parent carries covert narcissistic traits, your milestones—graduation, career, marriage, even simple choices—can trigger guilt instead of celebration. Their subtle criticisms, “worries,” or victimhood often make your growth feel dangerous.

The unconscious logic becomes: “If I stay small, they stay stable. If I grow, I lose their love.”

This episode explores how covert narcissistic parenting quietly binds children to their parents’ needs—at the expense of their own freedom and joy.
