| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirving listeners, today's episode is a follow-up to the most recent episode, which was a deep |
| 0:05.0 | dive on empathy. In this follow-up episode, I'm going to read two emails from an anonymous patron. |
| 0:12.2 | And this anonymous patron is a clinician, is a therapist, and also says that they have |
| 0:20.7 | anti-social personality disorder. |

| 1:26.6 | remorse, but I am not just my diagnosis. |
| 1:31.0 | Being in a program has really shown me just how many misconceptions there are in the field |
| 1:35.8 | regarding people who are similar to myself. I am so frequently subjected to people talking about |
| 1:42.0 | how treating antisocial personality disorder is not only a pointless endeavor, but also the notion that treating a psychopath is just an exercise in creating a better psychopath. |
| 1:55.0 | Just chime in here. Yeah, I hear this too at times that when it comes to people with any social personality or what some |
