 Have you ever had an interaction with someone that wasn't quite violent or blatantly rude but left you feeling off, rattled or shaken? What was going on there? Have you found yourself falling for liars, cot artists, or manipulators on more than one occasion? We have too. What about psychopaths? Ever wondered if someone you know is a psychopath? Sometimes it's essential to know. We are seeing situations where people face more extreme and antisocial behavior and master manipulators end up using them and pulling their strings. Using delivered mental health and resilience training across the world, to organizations of all sizes and in all industries, and to individuals from all walks of life, we know very clearly that one of the things people struggle with most, in maintaining their health and well-being, is dealing with difficult people. Everyday interactions and relationships with friends, family and colleagues can be tricky enough, even when everyone involved has the best intentions at heart. But more and more, we see more extreme antisocial behavior to the point where they could be dealing with psychopaths, sociopaths, and other master manipulators. Suppose you are not prepared, not alert, or not equipped with techniques to deal with these people and situations. In that case, you could be at risk, sometimes physically, sometimes financially, but often psychologically too. Therefore, for good mental health and so many other reasons, we need to build our awareness and understanding of people who may not have our best interests at heart. We develop a skill set to deal with these people, behaviors, and situations more effectively. We want to raise awareness and help people develop their psychological toolbox. We want good people to feel confident and in control when dealing with bad people out there, knowing that most people are good, well-intentioned people, but that, from time to time, they will come across dangerous people to their psychological and physical health. We also want them to know how to handle them. Hi, I'm Emmy Golding, Director of Psychology for the Workplace Mental Health Institute. We hope you liked the video.
