In this episode, Ellis and Dr. Rob delve deep into the fascinating connection between narcissism, imposter syndrome, and the brain. What happens when the left and right hemispheres of our brain work in tension with one another, and how does this influence our sense of self-worth, pride, and vulnerability? From the egotistical left-brain narcissist to the self-doubting right-brain artist, your hosts unpack the neurological basis behind these behaviors and explores how both brain hemispheres contribute to the complex dynamic of self-esteem and insecurity.
Through a compelling conversation, they break down how narcissism is not a one-size-fits-all condition—there are different forms based on how our brains process emotions, judgment, and social interaction. Whether you're a high-functioning artist or a brilliant professional struggling with imposter syndrome, this episode will give you valuable insights into how our brain chemistry shapes our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us.
With an emphasis on self-awareness and understanding, The Write Brain offers hope that these neural imbalances can be addressed, leading to personal transformation and healthier relationships. Tune in to learn about the dance of the brain and how embracing both sides can lead to a more balanced and empowered life.
