I asked, and they want to share the stories themselves. So I'll have to wait until they get accounts.

Myers, I work for social services and all the agencies work together in sharing information. I worked in halfway houses which are places that people go when nobody else will have them.

Would you really be willing to give me therapy? There aren't any therapists around here that are.

You ask me which therapies I use, I told you my preferences. I can't pinpoint one in particular because different methods work for different people. Everyone is different you know. And yes I have truly helped people otherwise I wouldn't be sharing this with you now would I.
My concern is that if I share all tricks of the trade that you will just use that to your advantage with your own therapist. (Ah, I know what my therapist is doing now, I can manipulate this...)

Yeah, but usually therapists have preferred treatments for specific disorders. I can't get a therapist to save my own life, and I already know all the tricks.

Coping strategies are different for each person but I've already touched on the fact that you will need a safe physical outlet. Walking, running, boxing, going to the gym etc because the anger will come out and you'll need to let that go in a safe way.

Well, could you give some examples? I can't exactly hit the gym whenever I get in a mood, and my bum leg prevents me from doing a lot of exercises as it is...

Trust comes from knowing that your therapist is actually on your side and is not going to dump you in the nearest prison.

Psychopaths don't see therapists as people, just pawns. How can they truly trust them?
