The Idaho Four case has haunted us for nearly three years — not just because of what happened inside that house, but because of what it revealed outside of it.

In this episode, I explore The Mirror Effect: how we don’t just analyze tragedies — we project ourselves into them. From the early silence of the investigation to the moral judgment aimed at survivors Dylan and Bethany, this case reflects every side of human behavior — fear, obsession, empathy, cruelty, and even addiction.

Because maybe the reason we can’t look away… is because it’s been looking back at us all along.

MIND MATTERS

I’ve been testing out various products, journals, and self-care habits that I plan on sharing with listeners (and readers.) My Amazon Storefront highlights my favorite products for mental health, journaling, beauty, self-care, and ADHD support—tools I personally use and recommend to help make everyday life a little calmer, more focused, and more intentional.

I’m really glad you’re here. If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover, just leave it in the comments or email me at chris @ mycharacteranalysis.com.
