In the Psycheverse

Psyche examines love bombing as the seductive entry point to psychopathic relationship cycles, analyzing how the initial flood of affection sets victims up for the tension-building and walking-on-eggshells phases that follow. He connects this dynamic to spiritual predation and control mechanics, particularly through the lens of the Jezebel spirit archetype.
