About this course

The sociopath ripped through your life, causing unbelievable pain and destruction, all without a shred of remorse. So why are you carrying the burden of guilt? What will it take to achieve self-forgiveness?

Guilt does have its place in our lives. For most of us, it’s how we learn, and how we internalize morality. Sociopaths, however, do not experience guilt. In fact, they perceive their lack of guilt as a strength, and our excessive guilt as a weakness to be targeted. So they exploit and manipulate you, and you feel like it’s all your fault.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Negative life experiences can be replaced with positive understanding. Self-condemnation and excessive guilt can be replaced by mercy and compassion for human frailty. The goal of this course is to reveal how, through the release of guilt, your formerly frightening experience can be transformed into healing and growth. Your life can become more positive and peaceful than you ever thought possible.

Highlights

  • Where guilt comes from and how it affects us
  • How we blame ourselves when we shouldn’t
  • How sociopaths weaponize our guilt and use it against us
  • Forgiveness is about us, not about them
  • How to change our perspective of past hurtful experiences

About the instructor

Travis F. Vining is an author, teacher, and inspirational speaker who lived the real-life horrors of learning his father was a serial killer. He has overcome many physical and emotional illnesses that included suppressed memories, paralyzing migraine headaches, crippling back pain, and depression as a result of a tragic family environment that included being raised by a sociopathic father who spent 24 years on Florida’s death row.

In a search for the truth, this nightmare became an inspirational journey of forgiveness, faith, hope and miracles. His talks and classes focus on helping others find the Miracle in the Madness, by offering real life experiences with practical application of the process of letting go, which confirms that forgiveness is the great healer of strife, conflict, and upset.

Travis is author of:

  • The Miracle in the Madness — Grateful to Be the Son of a Murderer

    This was a great webinar. It helped me grasp the understanding of how “sociopaths cannot feel”. Mainly due to the moderator’s personal experiences with his sociopathic father.
