Navigating Narcissism: A Therapist’s Insight with Alisa Stamps

The Susan Padron Podcast

In this episode, Susan is joined by Alisa Stamps, MSS, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and author of the book THE GASLIGHTING RECOVERY JOURNAL. She also hosts a podcast entitled "Am I the Crazy One?" Alisa shares her unique journey from a background in music education to her work in social work. The conversation explores the profound link between narcissistic family dynamics and disordered eating, where the projection of emotional needs and unrealistic standards from narcissistic parents can lead to eating disorders and a distorted self-image. Susan and Alisa stress the importance of therapy in providing individuals with the autonomy to make choices and decisions for themselves. They advocate for eliminating the stigma surrounding therapy and promoting mental wellness.
