[YinYang]

The result of a close encounter or life chapter with a highly polarised STS individual usually results in PTSD, since the level of fear they evoke is quite intense.

I have also studied narcissism and psychopathology quite seriously a number of years back, due to such a chapter in my life. While it was part of my healing to delve very deeply into this subject matter, it also left me very disturbed!

When I felt I sufficiently got my understanding under the belt (with which the Ra material was the most helpful... a life saver in fact), I had reached a saturation point, and switched back to inspirational spiritual literature as the last stage in my healing, as well as humorous, light-hearted fiction, just to lift myself out of it.

Some helpful books on the topic:

People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil

Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us

Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work

The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless versus the Rest of Us

The Narcissistic Family: Diagnosis and Treatment

Trapped in the Mirror: Adult Children of Narcissists in their Struggle for Self

There are many others, but these were the biggies for me.

My strategy to this day when I "sense something off" with someone, is avoid-avoid-avoid.... The eyes are the windows to the soul...

I know that only love disarms the opposite polarity, but I'm not quite there yet! I'll love them from a distance for the time being!
