    Becoming Complaint-Free (And Changing Your Life)

    In this episode of Better and Better Psychology, Gary and Esther Neuman sit down with Will Bowen, author and founder of the global movement A Complaint Free World, to explore a question that might change your life: Could complaining be sabotaging your happiness? Complaining can feel bonding and relieving in the moment — but over time, it rewires your brain, spreads negativity, and impacts your relationships. Will shares the psychology behind the complaint habit, the science of emotional contagion, and the powerful 21-day challenge that has helped millions break the cycle. This isn’t about simple positivity. It’s about awareness, choice, and learning how to shift from automatic negativity to intentional living. Small shifts. Big impact. Better and better.

    What Narcissists Don’t Want You to Know: DARVO and Institutional Betrayal a conversation with Dr. Jennifery Freyd

    Narcissism, gaslighting, and DARVO—these are powerful tools of psychological manipulation that can leave people feeling confused, blamed, and betrayed. In this eye-opening episode, we’re joined by Dr. Jennifer Freyd, the world-renowned psychologist who coined DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) and introduced the concept of Institutional Betrayal. Together, we break down how abusers twist reality, how institutions often protect them, and how truth-tellers are silenced in the process. We also explore the psychological toll of these experiences, how to recognize DARVO in action, and what we can do to protect ourselves and support others and heal. @mgaryneuman @estherneumantherapist
