The Mind Control Romance

In this episode of Dating Detectives, Mackenzie and Hanna are joined by “Anna,” a guest from the UK who shares how a relationship that began with charm, intensity, and big promises slowly became something far more disorienting. As subtle red flags stack up and the lines between care, control, and manipulation blur, Anna finds herself questioning her instincts, her memories, and even her sense of self.
