In this week’s episode of The Healing Room, Marcia takes you into one of the most challenging—and liberating—conversations of your healing journey. We’ve all heard the familiar narrative: the narcissist is the villain, and the empath is the victim. But what happens when you look beneath the labels? What happens when you hold up the mirror?

Marcia breaks down the uncomfortable truth that narcissists and empaths are not opposites at all—they’re two sides of the same wounded coin. One inflates to survive, the other deflates. One hides behind superiority, the other hides behind selflessness. Both are masking the same core fear: “If you see who I really am, you’ll leave.”

This episode walks you through:

Why empaths are magnetically drawn to narcissists—and why narcissists seek them out
How both roles develop from the same childhood wounds
The ways empaths use caretaking, self-sacrifice, and “being needed” as a mask
Why awareness—not blame—is the key to breaking the cycle
The liberation that comes when you stop performing and start honoring your own boundaries
How to reclaim your worth so you no longer attract relationships built on wounds

With raw honesty and deep compassion, Marcia shares her own story of staying in a 30–year narcissistic marriage, the role she played without realizing it, and the moment she understood the truth that set her free.

If you’re ready to step out of old patterns, stop performing for love, and finally see what’s been hiding beneath your own mask—this episode is the doorway.

And remember:
You are not the narcissist.
But to heal, you must understand the mirror.
