The Sopranos isn’t just a mob drama—it’s a masterpiece in panic, power, denial, family dysfunction, and psychology.

Jordan Long Sheridan, LMFT, and Sophia Vale Galano, LCSW explore the show through a therapist's perspective, unpacking Tony's first panic attack, his relationships, and the psychology behind the man beneath the violence.

Jordan and Sophia explore how Tony’s relationships with other characters reveal his attachment, defenses, grief, and need for control. They also dig into one of the show’s most fascinating themes: why food is never just food in The Sopranos.

And at the center of it all: How do we empathize with someone capable of doing terrible things?

For Sopranos fans, psychology nerds, and anyone ready to see this famous series from a completely different perspective.

And this is only Part One.
