Are you an "Empath," or are you just addicted to chaos? If you keep attracting Narcissists, it isn't bad luck. It’s physics. In this 15-minute episode, I'll dissect the Human Magnet Syndrome and expose the hard truth: The "Nice Guy" or "Empath" is often just a Covert Narcissist in disguise.

We break down the neuroscience of why you can't leave (Intermittent Reinforcement), the manipulation tactics used against you (DARVO), and why you might be an "Echoist" who has lost their voice. We also explore the spiritual arrogance of the "Savior Complex" and the Biblical archetype of Ahab & Jezebel.

If you're tired of playing the victim and ready to understand why you're addicted to your own suffering, this episode is the mirror you need to look into.

I'm Michael, a mental health creator, recovered alcoholic, future therapist, and the host of Sober Psychology. After realizing how much of the traditional mental health conversation misses the mark, I decided to build a space dedicated to raw, unfiltered self-examination and personal healing. My approach combines psychological principles with brutal honesty and hard truths, cutting through the noise to help people navigate their own growth. No toxic positivity, no hidden shame—just real conversations about what it actually takes to heal.
