The Making of a Narcissist: The Wolf of Wall Street
<p>What Drives a Man to Trade His Soul for Power?</p><br><p>In this compelling conversation, Laura Giles takes a deep dive into the rise and unraveling of Jordan Belfort, the infamous anti-hero of The Wolf of Wall Street. What turns a clean-cut dreamer into a chaotic king of excess? Giles unpacks the hidden forces—early childhood experiences, the intoxicating pull of money, and the invisible grip of social circles—that shaped his descent. Along the way, she invites listeners to reflect on their own values, the power of influence, and why stories like Belfort’s captivate us so deeply. This isn't just a character study—it's a mirror.</p><br><p>👉 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your thoughts on The Wolf of Wall Street</p><br><p>Chapters</p><br><p>00:00 Introduction to Jordan Belfort's Character</p><p>02:21 The Transformation of Jordan Belfort</p><p>06:31 The Impact of Childhood on Jordan's Behavior</p><p>09:59 The Role of Money and Power in Identity</p><p>14:02 The Dynamics of Relationships and Narcissism</p><p>17:09 Lessons from the Wolf of Wall Street</p><p>24:27 The Audience's Complicity in the Narrative</p><br><p><br></p><p>In Virginia, Colorado, or Indiana and want to join my DBT group?

The Psychology of Power: Inside the Minds of Vito and Michael Corleone
<p>Step into the world of The Godfather and uncover the psychological depths of Vito and Michael Corleone. This conversation invites you to explore how power, trauma, and unshakable family loyalty shape their identities and drive their choices. What lies beneath their calm, commanding surfaces? How do their pasts influence the way they lead, love, and retaliate? Through the lens of personality disorders, generational wounds, and the haunting weight of violence, we examine the humanity behind their actions—and the surprising roles that compassion and forgiveness might play in understanding them, people like them, and yourself. </p><br><p>Chapters</p><br><p>00:00 Exploring the Godfather's Legacy</p><p>02:52 Vito Corleone: The Godfather's Rise</p><p>05:58 Michael Corleone: Transformation and Trauma</p><p>08:46 Narcissism and Power Dynamics</p><p>11:30 Understanding Personality Disorders</p><p>14:45 The Impact of Trauma on Behavior</p><p>17:26 Compassion and Forgiveness in Violence</p><p>20:16 Lessons from the Corleones: Power and Humanity</p><br><p><br></p><p>👉 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your thoughts on The Godfather.</p><br><p>In Virginia, Colorado, or Indiana and want to join my DBT group?
