Evil is amongst us - dealing with narcissists, sociopaths and antisocial personalities in our work and personal lives

Episode 119

jeudi 10 octobre 2024 • Duration 10:53

Evil is real and does live amongst us. But who teaches us how to deal with bullies, abuse, cruelty and even criminals in our personal and work life ?

Unless you’ve suffered at the hands of this – it’s very hard to believe, understand and accept the extreme level of cruelty and abuse that antisocial people can and do dish out on anyone who gets in their way. For those of us who have been on the receiving end, when others close to us or in position of authority don't believe us and can’t help nor empathise – it can be extremely painful and frightening.

In this episode:

· You’ll learn that bullying and evil can be hidden or covert as well as visible or overt

· That occurs just as easily in families, friendships, general society, workplace and business

· You’ll gain tips on how to manage bullying and evil when you encounter it.

Season 2 · Episode 19

mardi 22 mars 2022 • Duration 51:36

Dr. Amanda explains what narcissism and other personality disorders are and why they can be very destructive to these people and others. Personality disorders are more than your average bad moods or habits and they are quite common. They are in our families, workplaces, and communities. Even though the difficult person you are dealing with may not be a murderer – or psychopath – disordered personalities can cause tremendous harm in all areas of our lives.

Because the risks they pose are real – like any risk in life, it's smarter to be aware and able to protect ourselves than not.
