I have been thinking a lot about the continuing failure of the “behavioral health” establishment to educate the public about sociopathy & narcissism as well as throughout the pandemic. It’s time to remedy this issue. Your work is a part of that and I appreciate it. I will be starting a video series in the new year to do just that. I could use all the help I can get, so I’ll keep you posted!
Thank you for the kind words about my work. It's always a little extra coming from a psych pro. Couldn't agree more about the failure of the “behavioral health” establishment. The philosophy recommends in an endeavor such as a video series that since a lot of psych series come off as very dry in tone and message, it is best to add some entertainment value. If you have specific questions in development, I may have answers as I have had a fair amount of experience in video production as well. Cheers!
Thank you for your reply. My aim is to keep the videos short in length and maybe a longer weekend version. Besides my clinical work, I worked for a training & technical assistance non-profit and did days long trainings for professionals, non psych folks & military members from Central America & the Caribbean (military stuff was HIV/AIDS prevention with a focus on military trauma & alcohol use disorder under US govt contracts). I hear you on the entertainment value & keeping it from getting too dark. One of my favorite training activities was a blindfolded condom competition (though I felt sorry for the assistant who had to bring a suitcase full of dildos through customs). I’ll check in when I’m a little further along in development and look forward to your posts.
Thanks again, Sam, for another enlightening post. For most of my life I've been kept dependent by the narcissists who convinced me I could not take care of myself, or get by without their help. I seem drawn to them BECAUSE I want someone to "take care of me" - still looking for the parents I didn't have, as they were unavailable. I only just recently ended a "friendship" that has been financially draining me, but only after he finally took more than I had said he could have. He thought I was too needy to cut him off, but he became too expensive - both financially and psychologically. It's been a good couple of months now, and I am amazed at how great it feels to be free of him. Now I get the assistance I need from professional elder care organizations, and see my son more often when he drops by to run a few errands for me. I'm so tired of allowing myself to be victimized. I appreciate your help, more than I can say right now.
Thank you Sam for your illuminating commentary on a subject that few are able to adequately address. We are facing an incredibly dangerous set of characters that I never would have expected having the US Senate actually consider empowering.
Reminds me more of a movie plot and I am waiting for action heroes to come in and clean up this mess.
