Being in a relationship with certain sociopathic narcissists, whether they've got a crazy high-tech invisibility suit or not, can be a lot like living in a horror film and make you feel a bit crazy.
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright react to The Invisible Man. There's a lot to dissect here - an abusive relationship, the ensuing PTSD, a narcissist and sociopath, his continued gaslighting and manipulation, and an absolutely incredible performance by Elisabeth Moss.
NOTE: While we know this is a movie designed to entertain (and scare!), we recognize the reality and trauma of abusive relationships. If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, please know that there is help available.
