True recovery from betrayal by the sociopath (narcissist, psychopath)

Recovery from the sociopath (or narcissist, psychopath) involves two parallel paths forward. The first is solving your real-world problems, like survival. The second path is emotional healing, which starts with understanding what you’re dealing with and why you were vulnerable. On Lovefraud, you’ll find information on sociopaths and multiple ways that we can help you recover. After the sociopath, you CAN have peace, joy, love and the life you truly want. I know, because I did it. You can too.

What’s a Sociopath?

At Lovefraud, “sociopath” is used according to its original meaning, as a term that describes people who are pathological in their social relationships, including narcissists. Clinically, they could be diagnosed with antisocial, narcissistic, borderline, histrionic or psychopathic personality disorders. Start here

I want to thank you so much for the Reiki session yesterday. It’s as if someone removed a porcupine tumor from inside my chest. I feel so different today; much lighter; happier. I’m not exactly sure how we achieved that, but I desperately needed it!

I feel much more focused, energetic and positive. It’s like being snapped out this sleep walk of insidious negativity.

I am a psychologist, I work with the best psychologists in the world, arguably, and they came up short. Lovefraud helped me figure out what was going on, and how to best help myself.  And the love and support has been tremendous.  I don’t think I am understating it when I say it was lifesaving.

Each time I speak with Donna the experience is enlightening. She is the subject matter expert on sociopaths. I really appreciate what she does. Her work has helped me connect a lot of dots and make sense of things. Thank you Donna.

I appreciate speaking with Donna about my experience. It is essential to talk with someone who has an understanding of sociopaths. Even better if they have lived it. Most trained therapists do not grasp how evil it is to be in a relationship with a person with no conscience. Rather than advice, I need a good listener to assist in my recovery. I am grateful she was able to honor my need without putting an agenda on me. I highly recommend Donna to anyone who has suffered with a sociopath.

Speaking with Donna raised my spirits and gave me a sense of hope. I can’t fully express how nice and reassuring it was to talk with someone who understood what I’ve been going through and also not be judged in any way. I highly recommend the consultation. I’ve been in a pretty dark place and she’s helped me see the light. Kind, caring, and compassionate.
