In this episode of MOHIvate, Dr Mohi Sarawgee unpacks two of the most overused — and misunderstood — psychological buzzwords: narcissism and gaslighting — words we throw around far too easily.
From Greek myths to Freud’s theories, and from modern psychiatry to everyday relationships, she explores where these words came from, what they truly mean, and why using them lightly can blur our understanding of real human behaviour.
We also explore the crucial difference between narcissism as a human trait and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)as a clinical condition — because while one can bruise egos, the other can deeply wound relationships.
Through stories, warmth, and science, this episode is a gentle reminder that real self-love always leaves room for someone else — and that sometimes, coming home to yourself begins with seeing clearly again.
Because real health, like real love, always begins with awareness and compassion.
