πŸ“Ί Succession (HBO) Explained β€” 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 β€” and why Succession resonates so strongly with survivors of narcissistic, emotionally abusive, and high-control family systems.


πŸ‘‰ In this video, we explore:

β€’ Narcissistic leadership and coercive control in Succession

β€’ Family systems, trauma bonding, and conditional attachment

β€’ The psychological roles of Kendall, Shiv, Roman, and Connor

β€’ Power, gaslighting, loyalty testing, and emotional abuse

β€’ Why survivors recognize these dynamics immediately


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