Thanks, Michah. I think the hardest thing about an ASPD/psychopathy diagnosis is the stigma. It's so hard to find a therapist that will even work with an antisocial/psychopath, let alone stick with the therapy through all the manipulation. I'm glad you could find someone you could trust.

So, if you don't mind me asking, how do you go about reasoning with your darker side?
