Recovery from the Sociopath: After the Antisocial, Narcissist or Psychopath, How to Rebuild Your Life

Recovery from a Sociopath enables you to understand why you feel so shattered by a confusing and abusive relationship, and guides you on how to put your life back together.

The profound betrayal by a sociopath shakes you to your core. You suffer emotionally, psychologically, financially, physically and spiritually. The experience is so devastating that you may wonder if it's even possible to recover. Yes, it is.
