Mindful Pause

There is no doubt that there is at least one psychopath in your life. You may not even yet know it, as psychopaths are very charming and persuasive. Your partner, your coworker, your boss, your neighbor – any one of them may be a psychopath. Psychopaths pursue their chosen victims with smooth talk and allure until they have total control. In this interview, Dianne Emerson talks about psychopaths, not so much the criminals we encounter in countless movies and TV shows, but the ones hidden in plain sight in our lives: How they operate, what motivates them and how we can deal with them.

Dianne Emerson created the first online forum for victims of psychopaths over 18 years ago. Over the years several books have been written using “composite” characters to describe psychopaths. The general public and the media report stories about “stranger danger” when in reality a psychopath in your life is likely to damage more lives than the most prolific serial killer.
