The Lo Life

Gaslighting, Narcissists & Psychopaths: What’s Real and What’s Not


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of The Lo Life, Lo sits down with psychologist and author Joe Nucci for an eye-opening conversation that cuts through the noise of viral “therapy talk” on social media. Nucci’s new book Psychobabble: Viral Mental Health Myths & the Truths to Set You Free tackles some of the most misunderstood psychological buzzwords dominating TikTok and Instagram—from gaslighting and love bombing to narcissism, psychopathy, and beyond. Together, Lo and Nucci pull back the curtain on the labels we throw around too casually and reveal what the science actually says. The conversation goes deeper into relationships, toxic patterns, and the difference between traits and true diagnoses, offering clarity for anyone who’s ever wondered where internet myths end and real mental health begins. They also discuss the process of finding a therapist who’s right for you—why it’s like dating, the questions you should ask, and how to build a relationship that leads to genuine healing. Thoughtful, relatable, and packed with insights, this episode will change the way you see mental health—and maybe even the way you see yourself.
