TRIGGER WARNING: This episode may be triggering for some, as it talks of relationship abuse. If you are in immediate danger, call your country’s emergency line.

Today, this may be for you, or it may be for helping someone you care about. I want to help shine a light, not to label people casually, but to help us recognise and see patterns in Dark Triad personalities, as they can go hand in hand, share a psychological outline to better understand how they operate in general, and explore how this looks in relationships before outlining a step-by-step way to leave safely. Helplines and resources will be attached in the notes.
