In this intriguing episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt takes you on a journey through the complex and often misunderstood characteristics of psychopaths and sociopaths. With her signature blend of humour and insight, Brianne sheds light on the stark differences between these two personality types. She explains that while psychopaths are typically born with certain genetic traits, sociopaths often develop their behaviours due to environmental influences and trauma.
Brianne shares her personal experiences working with individuals who exhibit these traits, revealing the nuances in their behaviours. Psychopaths, she notes, are masters of control and often lack empathy, whereas sociopaths can be more erratic and impulsive. Both, however, share a disregard for social norms and can engage in deceitful behaviour. Throughout the episode, Brianne emphasises the importance of recognising these traits in others to protect oneself. Her advice?
