This isn't just a TV review; it's an eye-opening analysis of the manipulative tactics used by the Logan family that mirror real-life narcissistic abuse.
Mandy and Andrew break down complex themes like wildlife metaphors, love bombing, and coercive control.

By dissecting the characters' actions, they reveal the psychological toll of living in such environments and emphasize the importance of creating emotional distance for your well-being.
Ever wondered why someone can seem so charming one moment and so cruel the next? Mandy and Andrew explain this phenomenon, known as 'narcissistic amnesia', using examples from the show. They also touch on 'future faking', where promises are made to keep you hooked but never fulfilled, and 'flying monkeys', where others are manipulated to do the abuser's bidding.
If you're intrigued by the dark side of human behavior or looking for ways to understand and heal from toxic relationships, this episode is a must-listen. Mandy's expert insights combined with Andrew's engaging storytelling make complex psychological concepts easy to grasp. Tune in to learn how to spot these red flags and protect your empathic nature from being exploited.
