On this episode of the Psychology Talk Podcast, Dr. Hoye is joined by psychologist Dr. Avigail Lev, Psy.D. Avigail is a cognitive behavioral therapist, author, mediator, and executive coach in San Francisco, California. She is the director of the Bay Area CBT Center, a clinic that specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals and couples break unhelpful patterns, develop healthier habits, and improve all areas of life. Avigail has coauthored three books on utilizing CBT to strengthen relationships and have presented my research at numerous conferences. 
Her work has been featured in Forbes, Dr. Drew, Bloomberg News, Huffington Post, Business Insider, MSN, and Psych Central.

Abby discusses the difficulties that narcissistic abuse presents in intimate relationships. She points out what makes a narcissist “tick,” both their outward behaviors and defense mechanisms, and the painful inner dynamics that causes them to control and manipulate their partners. She and Dr, Hoye also touch on warm and cold, or emotional and intellectual empathy, the difficulties facing partners of narcissists, and narcissism as a growing, new epidemic in our global society.
