Kouri Richins: How a Narcissist Chooses Their Target and Makes You Fall in Love

The Kouri Richins murder case raised a question that goes far beyond the courtroom: what does the beginning of a relationship like this actually look like — and how does someone as grounded as Eric Richins not see it?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to walk through the first phase of a relationship with someone who operates with narcissistic or borderline personality traits. The love bombing. The deliberate targeting. The performance of the early months that creates an attachment so deep it can survive almost anything that follows.

This conversation uses the Kouri Richins case as a framework to explore something millions of people are living through right now — without any idea what it actually is.

Shavaun Scott has spent over 30 years working with both victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence. She knows what this looks like from every angle.
