In this episode the Vampire Insider team hosts Stephanie Fornasier, a licensed psychologist and host of Psychocinematic Podcast (available on all the major and minor podcast directories). Steph is applying her professional opinion to a discussion of the relationship dynamics between the main characters of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, what their individual psychological profiles may be, and whether or not the toxic relationship at the heart of this show is portrayed in a realistic way.  The VI team and Steph are approaching this subject with the understanding that these are fictional characters and vampires, so the discussion should be understood as a fun exercise, possibly informative, but not "real" diagnoses or an indictment of any of the characters.  Trigger warning: we do get into the subjects of sexual assault and domestic violence as they were portrayed in season one of the show.
