About this module

Yes, you can have a life worth living, even when your life has been shattered by sociopaths (narcissists, psychopaths). In this final module, Dr. Liane Leedom summarizes the skills training that helps you navigate the difficulties these predators cause. Then, she suggests how the experience may enable you to cultivate wisdom.

Whether we have sociopaths in our family of origin, or we encounter them as we live our lives, it’s shocking to realize just how fundamentally different they are from regular human beings. Still, by knowing they exist, we can protect ourselves and others whom we love.

The painful encounters offer the opportunity for post-traumatic growth, in which you recover and release the pain. In fact, you absolutely can overcome the betrayal, achieving balance and peace. That’s self-transcendence — the final stage of adult development.
