10 subtypes of psychopathy

If you try to fill out a psychopathy checklist, and some items fit the person who is tormenting you while others don’t — well, that person could still be disordered.

Tonight ...
I’ll explain 10 subtypes of psychopathy, based on the work of Dr. Theodore Millon. He identified 10 subtypes of psychopathy.

Millon’s work does much to explain why some psychopaths are charming while others have no social skills.

It explains why some psychopaths are meticulous about their health and appearance, whereas others, like my ex, are overweight, diabetic and won’t take basic steps to care for themselves.

It can help you understand why some psychopaths plot deliberate, complex schemes and others act on impulse with no regard for consequences.

Here's the key point: personality disorders are complex.

Sociopaths cause stress. Whether it’s their lies, manipulation, aggression, whatever, the effect on you is stress, and too much stress makes you sick.

Tonight I’ll explain 10 illnesses caused by stress ...
and how EFT Tapping, which is Emotional Freedom Techniques, reduces stress and can therefore improve your health.

High stress is linked to virtually every type of disease. If you’ve developed any of the 10 medical conditions that I describe in this video since becoming involved with a sociopath, the level of stress you’ve experienced may be a contributing factor.

Scientific research studies show that EFT Tapping calms the stress centers in your brain and reduces cortisol. That’s how Tapping helps you reclaim your health.

At the end of my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

Join this online Group Tapping session led by Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com and a certified Clinical EFT Tapping practitioner.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. This healing approach, commonly called ...
“Tapping,” is a stress reduction technique that has been proven to alleviate anxiety, depression, PTSD and other conditions.

This online session will help survivors of narcissistic abuse deal with a particular aspect of their experience: Being blindsided by the sociopath.

We will help people come to terms with the realization that you’ve been involved with a sociopath, feelings about being deceived and betrayed, and feelings toward yourself for being involved with this person.

First, Donna will demonstrate the tapping points, which are located on the head, face and chest.

Then, Donna will take everyone through a tapping experience. The objective is to reduce emotional upset around being blindsided by a sociopath. You will be invited to bring to mind exactly what you went through. The more specific you can be, the more healing you will feel.

How EFT Tapping helps you accept the reality of what is
Reality bites, especially when you’ve tangled with a sociopath. ...
Reality bites, especially when you’ve tangled with a sociopath. Reality is shocking, painful, heartbreaking, infuriating and unjust.

You want to ignore, escape or bury the reality of your experience. But ...
accepting reality is exactly what you must do in order to move forward.

Tonight, I’ll explain the first step of healing after the sociopath, which is accepting the reality of what is.

Now, this DOES NOT mean that whatever you’ve been through is acceptable — especially if you’ve been deceived and betrayed by a sociopath (narcissist, psychopath).

Evil is never acceptable.

It DOES MEAN accepting that what happened did indeed happen:

• Yes, the sociopath manipulated and exploited you — on purpose.
• Yes, people who should have loved and cared about you did not.
• Yes, you were deeply wounded and perhaps traumatized by your experiences.

The normal human response to the disappointments and tragedies of life is resistance.

• We don’t want to believe that our partner, family member, friend or even a random stranger could be so heartless.
• We want that person — or someone, anyone — to right how we were wronged.
• We obsess about what should have happened.

But, as the saying goes, “What resists, persists.” The longer we dwell on resistance to the reality of our situation, the longer we stay stuck.


At the end of my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

One Lovefraud reader said she could smell the smoke but could never find the fire. She sensed that something was terribly wrong, but could never figure out what it was.

Multiple Lovefraud readers said they knew something was off, but couldn't put their finger on it.

Sooner or later, those of us who are, or were, romantically involved with sociopaths recognize that the relationship is bad and must end. Although we know this intellectually, we may ...still feel incredible attraction, even love, for the person.

Tonight, I’ll explain how to break the emotional attachment and get over that amazing 'chemistry' with the sociopath.

Many, many readers have told Lovefraud that getting over relationships with sociopaths, narcissists, etc., is much more difficult than getting over regular relationships. The reasons for this are complicated and are rooted in both normal human psychology and the sociopath's pathology.

The first thing to understand is that sociopaths engage in seduction. This is significantly different from a normal dating relationship.

At the end of my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

Society is always telling us not to be judgmental. We should let ...
Society is always telling us not to be judgmental. We should let people express themselves and accept them for who they are. This is fine with people we encounter in ...stores, at work or in the community. It is not fine in dating.
You may pride yourself on being open minded and nonjudgmental, and yes, these are admirable qualities. But when you’re looking for love, it’s different. Tonight, I’ll explain 10 judgments you should make about any potential partner.

You especially need your judgment to avoid the 12% of the population who are sociopaths. These people make terrible partners. They do not have the ability to authentically love, but they are really good at faking it. That’s why it’s so important to look carefully any potential suitor, especially if the person is rushing the relationship or you’re feeling doubts.

At the end of my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

How to know if your caring partner is faking it
According to normal rules of social interaction, people who care about ...
According to normal rules of social interaction, people who care about you will help you. But is the reverse also true? If someone helps you, does it mean this person ...truly cares about you? Not if he or she is a sociopath.

Tonight, I’ll share 9 questions that will help you discern if your caring, helpful partner is faking it.

She makes you drinks and home-cooked meals. He cuts your lawn and fixes your car. Your new romantic interest just can't seem to do enough for you. You never felt so cared for. It must be love!

Maybe it is. Or maybe it's a sociopath who is trying to soften you up for later exploitation.

I've often written on Lovefraud that sociopaths do not have the ability to be caregivers. Many readers find this confusing — the sociopath they know was always doing things for them.

The core of sociopathic personality disorders is an inability to authentically love. What, exactly does this mean?

Here's what you need to know: When sociopaths care for you, they always have an ulterior motive.

At the end of my short presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

All sociopaths lie. They tell big lies, little lies, stupid lies. But what’s really shocking is the brazen lies — lies so big and dramatic that you would never suspect ...anyone would have the nerve to make such statements if they weren’t true. Ha!

Tonight, I’ll tell you about 11 brazen lies from my sociopathic ex-husband. These are just a few of his more memorable deceptions. There were many, many more.

I met Montgomery online back in 1996. This was when online dating was in its infancy. Everyone was using “Love at AOL,” where you could post text but no photos or video. Montgomery described himself as a “Sean Connery look-alike,” which was his first lie.

The lies kept coming. But this was two years before Google launched, so there was no real way to check out his story. Unfortunately, it wasn't until later that I learned they were lies. So here are 11 brazen lies from my sociopathic ex
