Ep. 78 || Psychodynamic Therapist Babita Spinelli Joins Ben & Jason for a Conversation about Narcissism and Mental Health

<p>Babita Spinelli is a licensed therapist who practices in the greater NYC area. She takes a psychodynamic approach to therapy and focuses on attachment issues. Her key area of expertise is narcissism, and on this episode Babita fills Ben &amp; Jason in on what narcissism looks like and how to engage with those who are narcissists. During the conversation, Jason felt a bit uncomfortable and wondered if he himself is a narcissist! Ben reassured Jason that if he truly was a narcissist, he wouldn&apos;t have the ability to notice that in himself. Babita further calmed Jason&apos;s nerves by saying we ALL have narcissistic tendencies at times. Babita is an extremely intelligent and thoughtful therapist who made &quot;heady&quot; topics easily approachable on this episode. We look forward to collaborating with her again in the future!</p> <p>Check out a couple of articles Babita recently authored, in light of the covid-19 pandemic:</p> <ul> <li><a href='https://thriveglobal.com/stories/how-to-avoid-burn-out-when-you-have-to-work-from-home/'> How to Avoid Burnout while Working at Home</a></li> <li><a href='https://thriveglobal.com/stories/holed-up-with-your-spouse-8-ways-to-survive-and-thrive/'> 8 Ways to Survive (and Thrive!)
