Brandon interviews survivors of narcissistic and domestic abuse as well as therapists, lawyers, domestic violence advocates and agencies. Brandon's philosophy is to provide a safe space to be real, not clinical. His goal is to help survivors tell/validate their own stories, but to also validate and teach other survivors through those stories.
