Welcome to Part 2 of Lisa Bilyeu’s riveting deep dive with forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry. Having laid the groundwork of identifying personality disorders and their impact in relationships, this half turns up the heat with unfiltered conversation around actual case studies, the realities of abusive dynamics for men and women, healing after toxic love, and how to reclaim your self-worth and power after manipulation.
Shannon and Lisa tackle the infamous Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial, peeling back the legal layers around trauma claims and public judgment. Dr. Curry breaks down the science behind situational versus characterological violence, how abusers trap their partners, and the societal blind spots that keep both men and women bound in shame. The episode closes with empowering advice on how to forgive yourself, rebuild after heartbreak, and find healthy, secure love—plus a viral pop-culture breakdown that will change how you see relationships forever. Introspective, educational, and fiercely honest, Part 2 is your masterclass in spotting red flags, setting boundaries, and awakening to your own strength.
