In this episode we discuss the following narcissistic blame shifting strategies....

1. Turning the Tables
When called out for their wrongdoings, a narcissist will quickly flip the script. 

2. Playing the VictimThis tactic shifts attention away from their misdeeds and redirects sympathy towards them. 

3. Bringing Up the Past
When confronted with a present issue, a narcissist will often dredge up old arguments or mistakes you've made in the past. 

4. Minimising Your Feelings
 By diminishing your emotions, they invalidate your experience and make you question whether your reaction is justified.

5. Blaming Outside Circumstances
 This makes it seem like they're powerless to control their actions, which excuses their wrongdoings.
And much more!
