Incredible piece of journalism. Thank you. I have so much gratitude and admiration for you Isla. Having experienced an attack from a narcissistic couple that were trauma bonded that destroyed our entire group of friends, all that I’m learning about from you and the narcissistic playbook has been invaluable. Thank you. Let’s support all of Sam’s victims and let them know even if they’re exposed we support them and no matter what they’ve been manipulated into doing via Sam, we will support them. T... more
The depth of this documentary is unreal. It’s like reading a disturbing dark novel, only it is people real life nightmare.
This podcast is a fascinating deep-dive into the allegations against Sam Vaknin, which are horrific. It's deeply disturbing insight into the actions of a malignant narcissist, the dissonance between the face they present publicly and the depravity they reveal privately. Isla tells the stories of his victims with compassion and outstanding journalism. One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to.

But when I Watched the Film „The narcissist playbook“ After I saw the Trailer I was still Kind of surprised of the Turn it took. Now I listened to the Podcast the last two days from the First Episode on and was more than speechless what happened behind the scenes in the time I followed the topic in my own recovery. I can‘t Stres... more
