Beyond Coffee: Why Do Empaths Attract Narcissists?

After our “The Echo Chamber of Victimhood” conversation, many of you asked us to continue exploring the deeper patterns behind how we understand ourselves, others, and our relationships.

So, by popular demand, Kristen and I are coming back with another Beyond Coffee conversation.

Why do empathetic, caring and emotionally available people sometimes find themselves drawn to narcissistic personalities?

Do empaths really attract narcissists—or are they simply more willing to understand, forgive and tolerate behaviours that others might walk away from?

Join me along with Kristen Bazell, a hypnotherapist who explores the deeper patterns, beliefs, emotions and experiences that influence how we think, feel and respond.

We’ll explore empathy, narcissism, emotional attachment, boundaries, people-pleasing, validation and the difference between genuine connection and unhealthy patterns.

Why can intensity feel like intimacy? Why do we stay attached to people who hurt us? And can empathy become a weakness when we lose our boundaries?

What to expect: Exchange perspectives, meet new people, gain fresh insights.

Ground rules: Camera ON. Be respectful and open to different perspectives. No diagnosing, personal attacks, naming, targeting or shaming. No misogyny or gender bashing. No selling or business pitching. Disruptive or disrespectful behaviour may result in removal.

Main Room: Open conversation • Perspectives • Connections

Looking forward to seeing you.
