Into the Hollow House
Allyn finally finds herself allowed into his home, which opens the door to more suspicious activity and a look into his mind in a deeper and disturbing way. As the layers begin to peel back, Allyn discovers more about his manipulative behavior, and his carefully constructed façade starts to crumble.
Guest expert Kris Prochaska (LMHC & LPC) joins the conversation, offering a powerful look into the energetics of narcissists. She explains how these individuals operate at a superficial level, moving horizontally through life, unable to connect with deeper emotions or higher truths. Kris pulls back the curtain, shedding light on the shallow and calculated ways narcissists maneuver through their relationships.
This episode concludes with a glimpse into the early stages of Allyn's breakup—what appeared to be the beginning of the end, but was only a fraction of the dark reality that would soon surface.
