  • So important!

    This podcast is (alongside Tammy Petersons podcast and Rachel Bernstein’s “IndoctriNation” podcast one of the most important out there in the “women-verse”.

    The episode on Princesses was my first listen and I’m baffled hearing my own thoughts and feelings expressed so clearly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#67. Borderline vs Vulnerable Narcissism: A Diagnostic Walk-Through of Taylor Frankie Paul
Q: How does public narrative influence perceptions of accountability in such cases?
The guest argues that public narratives often weaponize vulnerability as a narrative device, allowing the subject to appear as a victim and shifting blame away from harmful actions, which complicates therapeutic or corrective interventions.
#67. Borderline vs Vulnerable Narcissism: A Diagnostic Walk-Through of Taylor Frankie Paul
Q: What makes this case a useful lens to compare vulnerable narcissism with borderline pathology?
The host explains that despite outward differences, the core traits—especially low agreeableness and high emotional instability—can manifest as different strategies for acquiring supply and managing social status, making the line between the two blurry in high-profile scenarios.
Psychology's Leftward Drift with Dr. J.D. Haltigan
Q: What do you think the turning point was for ideological capture in psychology?
Dr. Haltigan shares his observations starting from 2013-2016, noting a significant shift in academia's focus towards social justice and away from traditional psychological understanding.
Psychology's Leftward Drift with Dr. J.D. Haltigan

Hemispheres and the Rise of the Medical Administrative Complex
Q: How do you see the current mental health crisis playing out in psychiatry?
