The guest at this edition of Bubbles & Beats is the Systemic individual and couples therapist Dr. Britta Papaywhose focus is on narcissism, trauma and high sensitivity. In conversation with Stephanie Salziger, Center Manager of LIVING BERLINshe gives insights into her current book "Narcissists in disguise - how we unmask them and take away their power" and her personal story - moving, clever, inspiring.

How do you recognize narcissism - and how do you protect yourself from its often well-hidden effects? What does it mean to be highly sensitive - and how can powerful new beginnings emerge from crises? These and many other questions will be addressed on May 16, 2025 at THE BISTRO in the foyer of LIVING BERLIN.

Covert narcissism - an issue that affects us all

Overt narcissism is easy to recognize. But the subtle varieties, often hidden behind a mask of sensitivity or helpfulness, are all the more dangerous. In her publication, Dr. Papay shows how to recognize these patterns, counter them - and emerge stronger.

The reading is supplemented by a personal interview in which Papay not only shares her specialist knowledge, but also recounts her own journey: From a German-Baltic childhood in Italy, to studying law in Milan, a career in international companies - to a new start as a systemic therapist after a life crisis in her forties.

An evening full of depth - and lightness, because at Bubbles & Beats we combine challenging topics with an open, inspiring format: look forward to sparkling drinks, relaxed music and a conversation that goes beneath the surface.
