In this powerful opening episode of The Diary of a Narcissist, hosts Jason Foersch and Lizeth Lowe unpack the truth about narcissism — not as a label, but as a psychological defense born from pain.

Through honest reflection and real-life experiences, Jason shares his path as a recovering narcissist, revealing how childhood trauma, ego, and emotional survival shape the behaviors we often misunderstand. Together, they explore the balance between accountability and self-forgiveness, the challenge of breaking generational patterns, and the ongoing work of healing and growth.

Listeners will walk away with deeper insight into:

    •    The difference between narcissistic traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

    •    How self-awareness and empathy begin the recovery process

    •    Why forgiveness is essential for freedom and forward movement

    •    The impact of fatherhood, boundaries, and emotional maturity in healing

This episode is a raw and hopeful reminder that healing isn’t a destination — it’s a daily choice.
