Everyone thinks they know what a narcissist looks like. The White Lotus doesn’t just challenge that—it undoes it. This episode unpacks how narcissism hides in plain sight: beneath beauty, charm, and high-functioning personas. We’re not diagnosing characters. We’re tracing a structure—one that’s painfully real, hauntingly familiar, and easy to miss.

Learn the cardinal rules of pathological narcissism, how to identify it, and how it belies a completely different personality structure from normal functioning.

What these layers reveal about dissociation, defense mechanisms, and attachment style might just help YOU break the relationship patterns that keep you from finding true love. Get pulled in by the movie—get changed by the meaning.
