About this episode

The episode discusses recognizing borderline traits and the societal dynamics affecting men's perceptions of high-conflict personalities.

This isn't about calling women "crazy." It's about recognizing the strategy behind the "aura" and the patterns of behavior that society often fails to warn men about. As a mother of two sons, I am seeing these dynamics play out more than ever, and it's time for a clinical and social autopsy of the high-conflict personality.
