Ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a sociopath? This episode of All In The Mind is an eye-opener. Host Sana Khadar sits down with Patric Gagne, a self-proclaimed sociopath who defies the stereotypes. From her violent childhood to becoming a PhD holder and author, Patric's journey is anything but ordinary. She candidly shares her experiences of not feeling emotions like others and how she channelled her destructive tendencies into less harmful behaviours, such as breaking into homes.
Her memoir, Sociopath, a Memoir, aims to change the narrative around sociopathy and highlight the potential for treatment and understanding. Patric's story isn't just about her past; it's about her ongoing efforts to live a 'normal' life as a mother and wife. She discusses the controversy surrounding her PhD and how she deals with scepticism about her memoir. This episode is a fascinating exploration of a misunderstood condition and challenges the listener to rethink their perceptions of sociopathy.
If you're curious about the complexities of the human mind and behaviour, this episode is a must-listen.
