My mother Physically and Mentally Tortured me - She Sexually abused me - I had Sex at the first time at 4 years of age. My Entire Sexist Feminist Government Apparatus spent TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and used the WHOLE POLICE, FAMILY COURT, STATE, AND SUPREME COURT ARMS OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM to protect her and themselves. The Western World HATES it's children.<br><br>It REALLY Is a Feminised world. OH BUT THE MOTHERS! PROTECT THE MOTHERS!

The Munchausen theme is a lot more common than I thought, and probably also on a spectrum. Also this idea of people desiring punishment… some gold nuggets there!

I would like to comment on politicians who have a vast understanding of this psychology and who seek out not just the psychopaths for political gain but they also prey on people who have suffered trauma and are vulnerable and easily manipulated. This is extremely dangerous for whole societies and it doesn’t get discussed enough in this context. It would be great if you had a podcast on this topic.

What a dense take on violence in general. As if there is a difference in the etiology of violence. As if with men there isn’t a wish for “comfort and control” when behaving violently. You don’t think that these men that are violent are feeling discomfort thus making them act out? Obviously there is a need for control in both sexes acting violently. Sometimes I hear these people trying to be intellectual and am flabbergasted at how genuinely dense their takes are. Like wow what a stunning revelation. This is the kind of person that makes excuses for a certain gender or person’s behavior and really believes they are saying something intelligent.

Brad Carr-one of the best interviewers on Youtube! Thanks for this fascinating video Brad. It starts to make something clearer to me: that the psychodynamic take on the dark personalities, which Dr. Ettensohn also ascribes to, involves an effort to empathize with the perpetrator. And, I think, that's a mistake. We can not see ourselves in people of DP. When we try to, we will inevitably determine that they must have been through something horrific to treat others that way. On one end: Dr. Karen Mitchell, Dr. Peter Salerno...on the other: Dr. Mark Ettensohn (and others). Also, self-harm that is done in private and then covered up (thus never known to others) is not accounted for with the psychodynamic view that Dr. Anna Motz presents here. I enjoyed listening to her and some of her points resonate. Thanks again Brad!

Such a brilliant interview! Thank you for showcasing Anna's work - she's such a nuanced voice of reason and empathy, much needed amidst the hyperbole that dominates the internet. And you, Brad, are an exceptional interviewer - props to you! ❤

Brilliant interview. Thank you. For a long time, my mother, half siblings (brother and sister) manufactured struggles in my life, going as far as drugging my food to keep me dependent and unable to stay sober and employed. They planted several friends and partners, interfered and sabotaged many friendships and other worse things. They show no remorse, probably because of lack of empathy as Anna indicated. They have no concept of personal boundaries and no respect for law. In my case, it was not just out of greed, even though they were never satisfied with the 'black tax' they received from me over the years. They are attention seeking and have been profiting from my staged setbacks. Family Narc abuse from dark triad personalities can be very damaging because no one believes you which prolongs the torment. I still feel I need to get a restraining order as they continue to this day, to use coercive control tactics, flying monkeys to gangstalk me and have hacked my devices to carry out their stalking. Their abuse also escalated to sexual abuse which left me scarred. They are good at getting social support by acting as victims, using emotional manipulation and deception to turn everyone against you. Leaving you gaslighted by the very people you should turn to for support.
