Lestat and Louis have one of the most complicated, twisted relationships in literature and film. And it brings up the topic of energy vampires – what do you do when you’re in a relationship with someone who is just draining you?
In this episode, I explore Interview With The Vampire (1994) and the psychology of energy vampires.
I talk about:
- What is an energy vampire?
- How shame and dissociation present within energy vampires
- What happens when you choose to be in a relationship with an energy vampire?
- How the tarot cards the king of pentacles and five of swords represent the relationship between Lestat and Louis
Mental Health is Horrifying is hosted by Candis Green, Registered Psychotherapist and owner of Many Moons Therapy.
