FEATURED ON
Most of us are both horrified and fascinated by the dark psychology of serial killers and predators who dominate headlines and true crime documentaries. But what if the psychopath wasn’t on the news—what if they were your spouse, boss, child, parent or date? With chilling clarity and raw vulnerability, Surviving a Psychopath exposes the subtle red flags, psychological manipulation, and emotional terrorism inflicted by predators who live among us—and cannibalize our lives. This book is a powerful resource for anyone who’s questioned their reality, blamed themselves for another’s cruelty, or wondered how to break free from the grip of a predator.
