This podcast with Andy Porter, Psychic Surgeon, and his spirit guide Chen explores narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from psychological, spiritual, and experiential perspectives.

Key traits are unpacked in detail: lack of empathy, gaslighting, manipulation, entitlement, and the idealisation–devaluation cycle. Narcissism is explained not as something people are born with but as a condition shaped by temperament, genetics, and especially life experiences such as trauma, neglect, or dysfunctional parenting. It is a product of environment and conditioning, not innate design.

Practical strategies are shared throughout. Setting firm boundaries, applying consistent consequences, and maintaining emotional detachment are presented as essential. From a spiritual perspective, grounding, shielding, and psychic protection are described as vital tools to stop narcissists from draining energy. These practices help individuals remain calm, neutral, and sovereign, denying narcissists the “fuel” they seek.

The importance of support networks is also stressed. Friends, mentors, therapists, and spiritual communities provide validation, perspective, and strength. In some cases, the healthiest choice is to disengage completely, which may mean ending relationships, changing contact details, or even severing family ties.
