Introducing What Sociopaths Really Feel | Dr. Patric Gagne from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness People with psychopathy still feel, just differently from everyone around them. Dr. Patric Gagne, a diagnosed sociopath who went on to earn a doctorate and work as a therapist, sat down with Lewis and told the story she tells in Sociopath: A Memoir. As a kid she learned that saying “I don't care” out loud got her in trouble, so she lied, and lying made her feel safe. She talks about the pressure she called a vice, which she relieved by breaking into homes just to sit in the quiet, and the first grade day she stabbed a classmate with a pencil. Then she explains why secondary psychopathy, which may touch 5% of people, is treatable when kids get caught early. You will hear why a therapist who doesn't absorb your pain can be the best container for it, and why stopping someone from crying can stop the brain from healing. She also gets into the shame under people pleasing and narcissism, and the question she asks her own kids: how does it feel when you feel? You may come away a little gentler with the people you never understood, and with the kid you used to be. Sociopath: A Memoir Dr. Patric's Instagram Dr. Patric's Website The Society for the Prevention of Disorders of Aggression In this episode you will: Become a calm container for someone's pain without needing to empathizeRaise emotionally aware kids through boundaries, apologies and positive reinforcement instead of punishmentLearn why awareness is 80% of the work in changing destructive patternsDiscover why psychopaths can feel emotion and what actually separates them from everyone elseSpot the warning signs of sociopathy in dating, relationships and business partnershipsBreak free from people pleasing by choosing honesty over curated, falsified emotionsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1995 More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

Brendan isn't holding back on this one: UFC 332's main event puts Natalia Silva against Cong Wang for the flyweight title on CBS, and he calls it flat-out the worst main event in MMA history — a stacked undercard wasted, a title fight nobody's asking for, and a direct message to the matchmakers about what that does to the promotion's biggest broadcast platform yet. Also in this one: Dan Hooker's rough night in Paris against a hard-charging French prospect (and why call-outs to Max Holloway, Ilia Topuria and Paddy Pimblett are premature), the UFC quietly cutting Michael "Venom" Page from the rankings after a 6-1 run and what that says about how the promotion values excitement over winning, an insider report on a possible immediate Ilia Topuria–Justin Gaethje rematch, Tyron Woodley's scary moment after getting caught over the weekend, and a quick detour into the never-ending Anthony Joshua–Tyson Fury boxing saga.
