Terrifying & True | The Shrink Next Door: Marty Markowitz & Dr. Isaac Herschkopf

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Marty Markowitz sought a psychiatrist’s help, then found Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf occupying more and more of his life. Terrifying & True examines the real story behind “The Shrink Next Door,” following a relationship that crossed from therapy into control over family ties, money, work and a home. The episode explores isolation, professional authority and the difficult process of recognizing manipulation by someone trusted to provide care. How can years of small concessions leave a person feeling like a guest in his own life—and what does it take to reclaim it? We're telling that story tonight.
