In the True Lovefraud Stories podcast entitled “How to divorce a narcissist, antisocial or psychopath,” Donna Andersen interviews Attorney Soo Kang Keithley. These are high-conflict divorces, and Keithley says she ...always tries to settle the cases to keep them out of court. She first tries to negotiate with her client’s soon-to-be-ex, or his or her attorney, to avoid triggering narcissistic rage.

7 ways to release heartbreak and change your life
Why do we keep ending up in the same situation with the same ...
Why do we keep ending up in the same situation with the same heartbreak? One reason is because we all have set points — internal settings for mental, emotional and ...biological states.

Tonight I’ll explain that our natural predisposition is to keep returning to our established emotional and biological baselines. That’s why we feel stuck.

I’ve spoken to many survivors of sociopaths (narcissists, psychopaths) who know on an intellectual level, without a doubt, that a certain individual is bad for them. Still, they feel drawn to the person and can’t break away. And then when they get rid of one bad actor, they get involved with another one just like the last one.

But it’s possible to change our set points and therefore change our lives. EFT Tapping can help.

Why do narcissists, psychopaths and other disordered individuals lie, cheat, manipulate and exploit? Psychology experts typically tell us that they engage in antisocial behavior because they lack empathy and impulse ...control. In a new video series, the Lovefraud author Dr. Liane Leedom explains why they are wrong.

The series is called Antisocial Motivation. Each month, Dr. Liane Leedom, a psychiatrist and professor of counseling at the University of Bridgeport, explains an aspect of her research on human social behavioral systems and how they are affected by psychopathy.

In this first episode, Dr. Leedom provides an overview of her concept: Psychopathic behavior can only be explained by motivational theory. Humans have four social behavioral systems — attachment, caregiving, sexual and dominance. Understanding how they are influenced by psychopathy helps survivors realize that they were never responsible for the abusive behavior that they endured.

If you’ve spent 20, 30 or even more years with a sociopath, you probably feel like the life has been sucked out of you. But I assure you, even after ...years of narcissistic abuse, EFT Tapping can help you recover.

I’m making this video in response to a request from a Lovefraud Live! viewer. She posted the following question:

“Would like to know how tapping would help the effects of having lived with a sociopathic husband for 30 years?”

Yes, EFT Tapping can help, even after all that time. Tapping while you bring a painful experience to mind re-opens the memory and drains the pain away. You still remember what happened, but it doesn’t upset you like before. This allows you to shift your perspective, which means you can change your life.
Following my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

For more information on the concepts discussed in this video, read:
“What Does Energy Have to Do With Energy Psychology?” by David Feinstein, Ph.D.

Wow! Internet con artists sure are slick. I was almost scammed on Facebook Marketplace last weekend while selling a few vintage dresses. I’m sharing this story so you can see ...how easy it is to get caught up in a scammer’s manipulation.

I’m Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, host of the True Lovefraud Stories podcast and a certified Clinical EFT Tapping Practitioner.

As you know, I am extremely well-informed about psychopaths and their tactics. The scammers used all the standard con artist tricks. Yet the ploy was difficult to see while I was in the middle of it.

I’ll tell you her story. Then I’ll answer your questions.

A wealthy, heartbroken widow from New York City claimed she was scammed out of nearly $6 million by a male escort in a lawsuit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme ...Court. Her tragic story sounded like so many others I’ve come across here on Lovefraud — just a lot bigger.

The allegations in this story are breathtaking — tragedy, illness, desperation, manipulation, flying monkeys, betrayal, hopefully a hero, and courage. The case hasn’t been proven yet, but if it is, it will demonstrate once again that absolutely anyone can be swindled.

Marianne Flippo, age 49, claimed in court filings that Gregg Starr, a male escort with ice-blue eyes and six-pack abs, professed his love for her in an attempt to swindle $10 million. He succeeded in getting $5.95 million, she said in the lawsuit, and she wanted it back.

I’ll tell you about her lawsuit. Then I’ll answer your questions.

You’re probably watching my videos because you trusted a narcissist, antisocial or psychopath and got burned. Now that you know what the person is all about, you may be asking ...yourself, how did this happen?

In last week’s Lovefraud Live show, I talked about oxytocin. This specific molecule in your brain and body had a lot to do with why you got in trouble with the abuser. Tonight I’m going to tell you more about oxytocin. Why? Because surprisingly, the same molecule helps you recover from the devastation.

Why am I talking about biology and neuroscience on Lovefraud? To help you understand that biological imperatives have a lot to do with why you got involved, or stayed involved, with the sociopath. And, to inspire you to use the same biology and neuroscience to recover from the trauma.

Following my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

Invariably, once we realize we've been conned by a psychopath, this person has lied to us from the very beginning, and we fell for all of it, we ask why? ...Why did we believe? Why did we trust?

Tonight, I will explain why we went along with the psychopath’s program. The short answer is that we did what we, as social animals, are biologically designed to do.

Human beings have evolved over millennia to live in community, and trust is the glue that holds us together.

I will discuss the work of Paul J. Zak. Zak spent 10 years researching a brain chemical called oxytocin and its role in human behavior. He says oxytocin inspires trust; trust is connected to morality; and morality is connected to the survival of the human race.

Unfortunately, oxytocin can also influence our decision to trust the psychopath, which is usually a bad idea.

Following my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

Many sociopaths are great actors and can turn on tears at will. You think the person is showing human emotions, when what they’re really doing is pretending.

A Lovefraud reader once ...
asked me, “If the sociopath cries at movies, does that mean he has feelings?” She also asked about the emptiness of disordered people.

Before responding to her questions, I’ll first explain that psychopaths, narcissists and antisocials are not all the same. There is a lot of variation, even among people who have personality disorders.

Then I’ll answer her questions. I’ll also answer your questions.
