Show Notes

Freud found a huge amount of inspiration in Shakespeare’s works – so if it’s good enough for him, it’s definitely good enough for me.  This time we are delving into Hamlet to see what we can learn about narcissism.  This definitely won’t be the first time we use Hamlet as a reference point, as there’s so much in there!

In this episode I explore why we might not challenge the fact that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark, how we can end up inadvertently supporting this and what can we do about it.  We might even get to discover a different defence mechanism.

Here are the highlights of this episode:

(1.45) Hamlet’s narcissism

(5.36) Moralisation

(7.10) Why do we follow the narcissist?

(8.01) Where have you been adding to Denmark’s rotten state?
