Empathy Is Vital For Highly Traumatised Complex Trauma Survivors

Today, I saw an incest survivor commenting on a post on my Facebook page, clearly distraught and upset by comments advising her what to do (which was said from a place of kindness, but upset her more).

I was to be able to offer empathy and thankfully choose the right words to validate, not tell her what to do, and provide some comfort.

And I was in tears as I wrote it, and I truly do wish I could take away the terrible pain and suffering so many people endure.

I cannot give advice, but if I can offer words that comfort, I am so glad.

Expert Opinion – Subclinical Psychopaths = 5-15% Of Population

Very interesting reading, and in my life experiences, these ‘subclinical psychopaths’ are far more common than is realised.

I believe many highly narcissistic people, also meet the criterion for psychopath/subclinical psychopath.

And I believe the insight of experts in the field, as opposed to your non expert general mental health professionals.
