Dr. Dennis Marikis was Collier's psychologist in the days after his mother’s body was discovered. Collier was 11 years old when Dennis helped him process the trauma of his mother's murder by his father, Dr. John F. Boyle, Jr. Dennis was featured in the documentary A Murder in Mansfield. His extensive sessions with Collier before and after Collier confronts his father in prison gave audiences a "fly-on-the-wall" look at a grieving son still processing this horrific event 26 years later.

Episode highlights...

• Dennis shares how he met Collier the day police recovered his mother's body. “This amazing 11-year-old was clear and defined…it’s just who you are…..fortitude built-in..” when we build resilience, we do it by facing tough stuff".

• Collier and Dennis discuss how others can learn from Collier's experiences while they process their traumas.

• Dennis shares his advice on how people can recognize and deal with narcissists and the manipulation tactics they impose on their lives.
