It’s about to be summer and as the days – and nights – are heating up, we’ll explore how to have fearless sex.

If you’re new to Dr. Hick’s Guide to Living Fearless in 2015, I’ll give you the scoop. This year, we’re delving into what relationships could be like – what life could be like – if lived fearlessly. To date, we’ve explored the “how-to” basics: how to love yourself, dating fearlessly, how to rise in love instead of fall, and most recently, how to take a fearless look at your relationships in order to renew them. Dr. Hick is a Denver psychologist who specializes in coaching clients through relationships, anxiety, dating, and self-development.

Practicing fearlessness in sexual encounters is not about having sex with complete strangers or having unsafe sex. Protecting yourself and your partners from potential emotional or physical harm is always recommended.

Covert Narcissism: Recognizing Subtle Signs in Relationships

Our perception of narcissism has evolved beyond labeling individuals as “narcissists” when they act overly self-important. While characteristics associated with overt types of narcissism often grabs our attention, its lesser-known counterpart, covert narcissism, is often more subtle in relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore covert narcissism, its prevalence, characteristics, and the challenges it poses, particularly within dating, marriage, and other relationships.

Understanding the Spectrum of Narcissism

It’s important to note that there is a difference between traits of narcissism (e.g., what are commonly talked about in pop psychology) which is descriptive rather than a clinical word, and the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) as outlined ...
