About this course
You’ve broken up with your partner. You know this person treated you badly, cheated on you and took advantage of your good nature. In fact, you now believe he or she is a sociopath. So why are you still in love? Why is it so hard to get over loving a sociopath?
Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, explains that it’s not love that you feel — it’s addiction. Scientists believe that all romantic love is addictive. But because of how sociopaths hijack the human bonding system, involvement with these disordered individuals is even more addictive.
Donna presents the three steps of breaking the hold that your ex has on you and moving on with your life. You’ll learn the truth behind your relationship with the sociopath, how to overcome the obsession that you feel, and how to process the emotional pain. Donna will also answer your questions.
No matter how broken-hearted you feel after dating a sociopath, it’s possible to recover. With this webinar, you’ll learn how.

- Why all romantic love is an addiction
- Why the addiction to sociopaths is worse than a normal relationship

Helped me get rid of sociopath!
This was quite helpful. Circumstances vary, and not all of the features discussed matched my experience, but the webinar was a good assistance to getting over the experience.
I am so grateful for Donna and all of her guests. Highly valuable information that has come at a time of great need in my life. This has helped me understand on a deeper level, and allowed me to move forward into the hope of my future and healing. Thank you
Informative, helpful and had a calming effect for me
I needed this information so much. It is so hard to get through this. No one seems to be able to help… not my counselor, or my friends. Thank heavens for Donna from Lovefraud. Her podcasts, webinars and words of wisdom are immeasurable and her voice is soothing. Thank you Donna for all that you do for us.
