JACKSON, Wyo. — Tonight at 7 p.m. the Brainstorm Speaker Series at the Center for the Arts will host Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a New York Times best-selling author, clinical psychologist and professor emerita of psychology.

Durvasula’s talk tonight will be the second of four events in the speaker series. Her book, “It’s Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People” explores recognizing narcissism in relationships, how those relationships impact wellbeing and how to move forward after they end.
