Ramani Suryakantham Durvasula is an American clinical psychologist, author, and retired professor of psychology. She has appeared on media outlets discussing narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic abuse. During an appearance on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Dr. Ramani strongly recommended Robert M. Sapolsky’s book 'Behave', describing it as one of the most extraordinary books written in the decade for its fascinating exploration of the evolutionary history of aggression, human behavior, and psychology. In addition to recommending Sapolsky's work, she discussed her own book 'It’s Not You' across programs such as The Jordan Harbinger Show and The Mel Robbins Podcast. She explained that she wrote the book to focus specifically on what happens to individuals in toxic relationships rather than solely examining the perpetrators. Within the pages of 'It’s Not You', she outlined practical recovery techniques, such as creating an 'ick list' to record and recognize a partner's negative behaviors, preparing for difficult encounters through the 'prepare and release' method, and evaluating relationships using the concept of entering the 'Tiger's cage'.
