Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so happy to be here.
Yeah, that was an incredible summation.
That was better than I can do it in a concise way.
But yeah, that's what happened.
And what I've learned is that my story was an extreme version of something that happens to people a lot more than people realize.
And I know this now from all the messages I've gotten in my DMs.
since the show came out and since it became much more public, is that this type of manipulation can happen a lot more than people realize.
And it also can happen to men and women alike.
And so part of my telling of the story is to
you know, is to really help educate people how it happened.
And that was the most important part that the show on Netflix left out and that the filmmakers left out is any explanation of how this happens, which is what would allow people to help protect themselves.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's similar with cults.
They actually need somebody who's got a certain level of intelligence because it's almost like you can't train a... You need somebody who's got a certain level of intelligence to be able to pull off this long, slow manipulation.
And I mean, I've spoken to people who have PhDs in clinical psychology, attorneys even, who've been...
had their world turned upside down in a way that they never expected.
And so, again, that's what I write about in my book is really taking the reader along with me through this sort of nightmarish journey about
getting manipulated over time and really trying to um you know as honestly as i could even in places where i felt it didn't reflect well on me to help people understand how this happens and also the psychology behind it and that's really also what was left out of the show
Yes.
