Toxic Attachment: A Psychology Deep Dive Into Female Friendship

Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower are at the peak of their power in House of the Dragon Season 3, but they’ve never been more trapped. In today’s Glow Read, we’re looking at the "costume trap"—the roles these women were forced into twenty years ago that are finally demanding payment. From Rhaenyra tearing off her dress in the premiere to the bloody footprints leading to the Iron Throne in Episode 2, we’re analyzing why they were never really fighting each other, but the versions of themselves they were forced to become. Stay until the end for a 60-second read you can apply to your own life patterns.
