Episodes
Ep. 181-Paranoid Personality Disorder: When No One Can Be Trusted
This episode describes Paranoid Personality Disorder including how it's diagnosed, how it develops and how its treated.
Most people don’t realize how deeply paranoia can shape a person's entire world and how misunderstood this silent struggle really is. In this episode, Dr. Kibby unpacks the complexity of paranoid personality disorder, revealing why so many suffer in silence, feeling unseen and alone.
Ep. 180-The Psychology of the Manosphere: How Loneliness and Disempowerment Fuel Violence
This episode explores the psychology behind the manosphere, online communities that promote men's power over women and resources.
Most men today feel more disempowered and lonely than ever, despite the world’s vast commitments of power and wealth. In this episode, Dr. Kibby exposes the psychological roots of the Manosphere- a shadowy online movement that preys on young men’s humiliation, disconnection, and search for purpose.
Ep. 179- Avoidant Personality Disorder: When Fear of Rejection Consumes You
This episode delves into the silent struggle behind avoidant personality disorder, the crippling fear of rejection, and how treatment is finally making progress.
Are you or someone you love trapped in a cycle of loneliness and fear of rejection? Recent research and real-life case studies reveal powerful new insights about avoidant personality disorder, this deeply misunderstood disorder that’s likely more common than you think. Social avoidance is especially common now, as social media and remote life intensify those feelings of inferiority and rejection.
Ep. 178- Does getting diagnosed with a "personality disorder" mean you're a bad person?
This episode explains what it means to be diagnosed with a "personality disorder," including how psychologists understand what personality is, when it's pathological, and how clinicians diagnose it.
Is "borderline personality disorder" or "narcissistic personality disorder" a fancy term for "toxic"? In this episode, Dr. Kibby dives deeper into the nuanced way psychologists understand personality pathology. She gives an overview of the history of personality disorders and their diagnostic criteria, peeling back the stigma to reveal what’s really happening when someone gets diagnosed. She talks about why these conditions are about persistent, pervasive patterns that impact daily life, not character flaws or moral failures.
