A cultural and clinical blind spot: the rise of female-coded Cluster B traits. Why do so many go undiagnosed? Why has misbehavior been rebranded as “trauma”?In this episode I break down how ideology, therapy culture, and social media have distorted our understanding of female pathology and why it matters more than ever.Join me for the Live Q&A this Saturday 1 PM ET—I'll take your questions.

In this special Business of Woo-themed episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with friend Kristen Pavle (of Relational and Ember) all about her work in creating and managing community, both online and in-person, for various businesses, nonprofits and community organizations.The crux of this episode? How can we-- either in the Business of Woo, at our "normal" day jobs, or just in society in general-- identify, build and maintain community? Kristen breaks down the definition of community, why it matters for small businesses (and for us as human beings!), and how it's changed in the strange last five years. She also gets into the nitty gritty of what makes a community work or NOT work, and Rachel and Kristen dig into the nuances within the realm of "spiritual community" and its classic pitfalls: spiritual narcissists, grifters, unstable Cluster-B types, and those suffering from "Main Character Syndrome". In a post-Covid, work-from-home, gig economy world, creating community has never been harder-- but it's also never been more important! Thankfully, Kristen shares incredible insights, practical solutions, and the all-important dose of hope to get us going.LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooKristen's Links:Website: https://www.emberconsulting.co/Email: kristen@relational.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kpavle/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Recovery from a relationship with a Cluster B narcissist, sociopath, psychopath or narcopath hybrid model is unlike other recovery because your brain has been "entrained" and conditioned in a cult like way that causes maximum loss and damage.
n this raw and validating conversation, fitness expert and former pro athlete Holly Rilinger shares her first public telling of the emotional abuse she endured inside a long-term relationship that looked perfect on the outside.Holly opens up about how the relationship began with admiration and love bombing, then slowly eroded her confidence, identity, and sense of self. From subtle criticisms about her appearance to the complete absence of repair after conflict, she found herself living in constant fatigue, self-doubt, and silence — all while running a successful fitness business and motivating others to feel strong in their own skin.The discussion unpacks the patterns of narcissistic abuse, the manufactured discard, the loss of identity, and the physical toll of living in fight-or-flight for years. Holly reflects on the moment a friend finally witnessed the behavior, how she began waking up to the truth, and the small ways she's reclaiming her body, voice, and power in the seven months since leaving.If you've ever questioned your reality in a relationship that looked “fine” to the outside world but felt like slow erasure on the inside, Holly's story will remind you that you're not crazy — and that healing is possible.You can follow Holly here: https://www.theliftedmethodcoaching.com/Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Josh rips into the mess of modern womanhood—feminism’s delusions, "Cluster B" meltdowns, and women tearing themselves apart. From dump-diva snark to Kate Beckinsale’s sad decline, I’m calling out the real misogyny: ladies hating ladies. It's ladies night on Disaffected... Tonight Josh goes hard—subscribe now! @disaffectedpodSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh tears into the ‘transgender children’ lie via Jazz Jennings’ grim story, noting the Supreme Court’s US v. Skrmetti ruling allows states to ban kid sex changes—though federal action’s unlikely—amid years of tackling narcissism and Cluster B issues. Block B features Ryan Rogers sharing his journey from drug addiction to left-wing politics and grad school’s pointless craft exercises, criticizing therapy’s activist lean and a potential bubble burst. Block C rages at leftist women’s attacks on Trump and Hegseth, highlights a patriarchy-obsessed mom, and condemns the Lolita Line bus scandal’s cultural rot. Ends with rough AI comedy from Big Purr and a bonus Hannah Spear audio on Cluster B therapists.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Psychiatrist Hannah Spier joins Josh again for a longer conversation on Cluster B personalities seen among psychiatric professionals, particularly women. We get detailed about Dr. Spier's recent discusson of what to make of patients who claim to have been abused but their parents and past don't seem to fit the description.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
-Guest JD Haltigan, evolutionary psychopathologist, joins us to survey the wreckage of the mental health field wrought by Cluster B women practitioners, and the "Cluster B-ification" of society -Democrats and the left are frankly and unapologetically anti-American and pro-takeover by foreign nationals.

Reviewing the Jordan Peterson pocast with James Lindsay, “When the RIght Goes too Far.”
Send us a textJordan Peterson got some attention recently because of some comments about psychopaths and people exhibiting Cluster B and Dark Tetrad traits infiltrating the Right. There is a rising acceptance, and even glorification, of negative traits like narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism among many supposed Right-Wing influencers. I discuss his recent statement, as well as some of his past statements on social contagion.If you're concerned about good things being twisted, manipulation disguised as strategy, or the slow drift away from Biblical truth, this conversation will help equip you.Support the showSupport the Show! https://www.patreon.com/sparenoarrowsCheck out the video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@sparenoarrowsConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spare_no_arrows/Spare no Arrows on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6CqhvtMWRItkoiv8ZrJ6zVSpare no Arrows on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spare-no-arrows/id1528869516

Psychotherapist Breaks Down The Many Inconsistent And Unhealthy Behaviors Of Karen Read Could Karen Read be using the narcissist's playbook to manipulate public opinion in her alleged role in the death of John O'Keefe? What begins as a look into a toxic relationship quickly unravels into a psychological maze of contradictions, conspiracy, and chaos. Tony Brueski teams up with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to dissect the alleged behavioral patterns that mirror classic narcissistic and borderline personality traits—gaslighting, flying monkeys, and shifting stories included. From Karen's changing public narrative and contradictory interviews to the supporters who've seemingly abandoned their own lives to champion her cause, nothing is off-limits. Scott offers a psychological lens on how traits from Cluster B disorders may explain Karen's erratic statements and emotional responses—without jumping to diagnoses or conclusions. As the conversation digs deeper, the bizarre cult-like fervor of Karen's defenders is put under the microscope: who are these people, and how did a murder case become a full-blown social crusade?

Listeners-we're sorry! We uploaded this episode but it disappeared off the podcast distributor for some reason. -The left half of the country, and a good portion of the right, is defenseless against covert narcissism. They're treating Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a poor bullied little boy, and castigating Trump and Vance as "bullies." This is the biggest moral reversal of the current Trump era. -As children pay for the crimes of their abusive parents, so do normal, tough men pay for the crime of setting limits and boundaries. The reaction to the oval office meeting this week shows more than half the country will turn on their own president working in their own interests. It's a pure form of Cluster B reversal that should be preserved in amber for posterity. -Potpourri due Moquerie takes on Wisconsin's ban on the words "mother" and "husband," troons gone wild who still get called ladies in headlines, and deviant demands to Kenyon College to venerate trannies above all other gods.

This episode was recorded in January, 2025. Dr. Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist and commentator. Along with Dr. Jeff Barke, his podcast Informed Dissent discusses mental and physical health, politics, and culture. Mark joins Josh to talk about the explosion of Cluster B, narcissistic personality traits and behaviors in society, and how the mental health establishment not only doesn't recognize it, but is contributing to the prevalence of these behaviors. We also discuss the effect of feminist and leftist ideologies on our collective mental health, and how these have upended traditional and sane understandings of good health, behavior, and personal responsibility.

(add your email to get a response)When your dating a guy who isn't ready to settle down or your friend whines for not getting what she wants, you roll your eyes and think "they're so immature." But what does being "mature" mean, exactly? In this episode, we nerd out over the concept of emotional immaturity, the developmental aspects that contribute to it, and how it manifests in adult interactions. From understanding the signs of immaturity to addressing the struggle of setting healthy boundaries, we figure out what's needed to navigate emotionally challenging relationships. This episode was inspired by one of our Little Helper fans who shared with us a story of questioning her relationship to her boyfriend who is kind, respectful and loving, but just felt like a "young soul." When she met a man who demonstrated emotional maturity and thoughtfulness, she could only describe it as "he made me feel like a woman." So we were excited to dissect what that line is between what makes someone feel like a "young" vs "old soul." Thank you for sharing!!We couldn't ignore the role of emotional regulation and empathy in our connections with others. We explored whether immaturity is a symptom of deeper issues like Cluster B personality disorders (borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), histrionic personality disorder (HPD) and antisocial personality disorder (APD)). We'll also share personal anecdotes that highlight real struggles faced when dealing with emotionally immature individuals.**Want to share your story with us?
