Rerelease | The Psychology of Stalking, Obsession, and Control

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston about the psychology behind stalking and how unwanted attention can develop into an ongoing pattern of fear and control. Dr. Johnston explains the five types of stalkers, the stages of an obsessive ex, and why rejection following an abusive relationship can increase the risk of escalation. They also discuss documenting incidents, online stalking, restraining orders, trusting your instincts, building a support system, and creating a safety plan when someone refuses to leave you alone.
