Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a well known licensed clinical psychologist, professor and author who has spent years studying and analyzing narcissistic behavior-narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic abuse. Dr. Ramani shares stories of her mother's journey immigrating to the US from India and all that she had to sacrifice in order to succeed.
Dr. Ramani's parents repeatedly explained to their daughter that education was the most important thing in her life in order to be respected and taken seriously . There was no way around potential bias toward a young Indian woman regardless of the fact that she was born in the United States and an American citizen.
The oldest of two daughters, Dr. Ramani took this responsibility very seriously and is now a very successful doctor concentrating on helping those exposed to Narcissistic behavior.
Because of her mother's experience, Dr. Ramani has accomplished all that she has.
Sai, Dr. Ramani's mother, was at the top of her high school class in India and ready for admission to medical school when she was told to forget about medical school because you are going to get married and move to the United States. An arranged marriage was way more important. A woman, had to get married at that time because they weren't considered as valuable as a son.
Dr. Ramani's mother is not narcissistic, but Dr. Ramani has had direct experience with friends and others who suffer from narcissistic behavior.
She is the author of two books:
"Don't know Who I Am" & "Should I Stay Or Should I Go".
She has her own Youtube Channel-https://www.youtube.com/user/DoctorRamanDurvasula, been featured on National TV, a guest on Red Table Talk and cohost of the podcast "Sexual Disorientation".
