Therapist Explains Why 1 ‘White Lotus’ Character Is So Mean But ‘Strangely’ Alluring

“That's a really meaty narcissistic story,” clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula said of the most recent episode of the hit Max series.
It’s extremely easy to write off most characters on “The White Lotus” as narcissists, but there’s one character in Season 3 who is really catching a clinical psychologist’s attention.
Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a New York Times bestselling author and an expert on narcissistic relationships, took to her YouTube channel Tuesday to unpack Season 3, Episode 4 of the hit Max anthology series.
In her video, Durvasula took a specific interest in the character of Rick (Walton Goggins), who comes off as a rude curmudgeon with a soft and oddly alluring side.
Durvasula, however, sees Rick a bit differently than most people and describes him in her video as “the vulnerable narcissistic guy who has the young British girlfriend,” referring to Rick’s partner on the show, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood).
Durvasula pointed out that it’s very easy to get attached to a person like Rick, and that even she has a hard time not succumbing to his charms. She even admitted that she’d be interested in treating him as a patient.
