Jacqueline Trumbull

Host

Jacqueline is a Ph.D student in clinical psychology at Duke University and has a BA in philosophy from the University of Virginia. Her primary research interests are in borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and misophonia. She is particularly interested in how interpersonal functioning is impacted by personality pathology, as well as the social emotions like shame, envy, and contempt. She enjoys agonizing over two paragraphs in a Word doc and calling it fiction writing, painting elephants, tormenting her cat, and gazing at her vegetable garden. She's enormously unathletic but still performed as a wrestler in a prom dress on Season 22 of The Bachelor.

Dr. Kibby McMahon

Host

Kibby McMahon completed her Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Duke University and has a BA in psychology from Columbia University. She just finished her internship at Weil Cornell/NY Presbyterian Hospital and is now a postdoctoral associate at Duke University Medical Center. Her research and clinical work focuses on helping people connect more deeply to themselves and others. She enjoys teaching yoga, running a fitness studio in the pandemic (www.intentfithouse.com), wondering how she can work harder, taking on on too many responsibilities while worrying about how she needs to work harder, and snuggling with her puppies. She says her career is her primary focus in life, but deep down she knows her relationships are more important than anything else. She also likes playing Zelda on Nintendo Switch.
