Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg.

This is such a sad, heart wrenching and at the same time beautiful and inspiring podcast, and I found it so incredible. Mr. Markowitz is such an inspirational person and proof that it’s NEVER too late to restart your life. I just am so glad he got away From his abuser, was and was able to share his story. The podcast itself is also just very pleasing to listen to, their accent and voices are really entertaining. Joe does a great job with his investigation, and the deep dive he does in to the backstory is absolutely mind blowing! Really just phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorites I’ve ever listened to and absolutely worth doing the wondery trial for cuz you will definitely binge it! 20 out of 20!!

Compelling reporting of a riveting story. I had heard all but the last episode, recorded in 2019, before I ever heard that it had been dramatized for the small screen. I’m still listening to all the bonus and update episodes.

Joe is an amazing storyteller whe takes the time to get to know the real life people involved and see that there are many different perspective in an unbiased manner with the cards on the table. It pointed to the fact that narcissistic abuse affect more than the two people involved. It also paints the story of how slowly and calculating a narcissist is and that it can happen outside of the typically known romantic relationship. I am sorry that so many people where damaged for it to been seen. It is what Paul hit on in that most people are embarrassed to say they were a victim. We have to stop giving narcissistic abusers a pass and countinue to call them out and saying that this is not ok and that was brilliantly done here.

Really enjoyed the Apple TV mini series. When I found it as a pod cast, I was excited! Unfortunately my hopes were dashed upon discovering I could not listen to episode 2; a subscription is required. If you have the money, go for it! It’s a very interesting account.
