    📺 Succession (HBO) Explained — Power, Narcissism, Family Systems & Psychological Abuse

    Welcome to Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities (SNAP).
    In this video, we take a deep, trauma-informed look at HBO’s Succession, the Emmy-winning series that exposes narcissistic power structures, emotional abuse, and generational trauma within the Roy family.

    Through a clinical and psychological lens, we explore how Logan Roy’s authoritarian leadership impacts Kendall, Shiv, Roman, and Connor — and why Succession resonates so strongly with survivors of narcissistic, emotionally abusive, and high-control family systems.

    👉 In this video, we explore:
    • Narcissistic leadership and coercive control in Succession
    • Family systems, trauma bonding, and conditional attachment
    • The psychological roles of Kendall, Shiv, Roman, and Connor
    • Power, gaslighting, loyalty testing, and emotional abuse
    • Why survivors recognize these dynamics immediately

    📌 Succession (HBO, 2018–2023) blends dark comedy and drama to portray the devastating psychological cost of power and entitlement inside families and organizations.
