Welcome to the Love, Honor, and Asperger’s Podcast! In this episode, host April Anderson welcomes back Dr. Cathryn Rench, author of When Eros Meets Atos, for one of the most direct and uncompromising conversations yet. They break down the five behaviors Cassandra partners most often rationalize and why Dr. Rench insists these patterns should no longer be dismissed as mere neurology. 

Together, they explore the darker realities hidden behind media myths, how masking and manipulation show intentional control, and why many partners mistake trauma-driven fawning for love. Dr. Rench also shares why facing the truth is essential for safety and healing and how trauma therapies like EMDR can help Cassandra sisters finally break free from denial. Tune in for blunt insight, validating clarity, and the courage every Cassandra needs to hear in order to reclaim her wellbeing.
