    About this ebook

    There are people in YOUR life right now camouflaged around you who have no conscience. They are undercover sociopaths who rarely do anything illegal, but who take great secret pleasure in hurting or inconveniencing you.

    The Type 1 Sociopath in Your life could be:

    • The person bullying you in your family, at work or at school
    • Your lover who slips little white lies and whom you suspect is cheating on you
    • Your friend or co-worker who steals your ideas or gossips behind your back
    • The church leader who breaks personal boundaries and uses religion as a weapon
    • Your friend or family member who comes around only when they need something
    • Your boss or teacher who seems to love belittling you

    P. A. Speers has compelling insight on why “nice guys” (and gals) finish last and how they can finish first. After Speers experienced a tsunami of users, manipulators, and dangerous individuals, she discovered what therapists failed to inform her: There are people camouflaged in society who have no conscience.

    “People need to know the traits of a sociopath, especially parents. Parents invest their time and money into their children, but if they do not inform them of the traits of a sociopath, their children may be derailed by falling in love with one or by having sociopathic teachers, friends and/or bosses destroy them emotionally, financially, or physically. Type 1 Sociopaths are all around us, and yet, we are not informed about the traits of these undercover predators. It is a common assumption that sociopaths are the women beaters, thieves, child molesters, and rapists we see on TV. However, sociopaths can be the difficult people in our lives. We need to know this information in order to navigate safely to healthier relationships and therefore, healthier lives,” states Speers.

    • Are you a kind, compassionate person who likes to see everyone around you happy?
    • Are you a giver?
    • Do you place the needs of others before your needs?
    • Do you find yourself in relationships filled with codependency?
    • Are you a caregiver who always finds yourself caregiving for others?
    • Are you a Jesus follower or do you practice any religion that teaches forgiveness and kindness?
    • Do you sometimes feel guilty for having to say no when you cannot do something for someone?
    • Are you a team player?

    If so, You are a playground for sociopaths.

    By reading this book, you will discover:
    • What most psychologists won’t tell you
    • What most Christians and other religions do not know and should
    • How to protect yourself and your children from Sociopaths
    • How to recognize traits of a Type 1 Sociopath
    • How to free yourself from the Type 1 Sociopaths in your life
    • How to prevent partnering up with a Type 1 Sociopath
    • How to prevent and cure Doormatitis
    • What most How to Deal with Difficult People Seminars
    • And so much more!

    Learn to Identify the Type 1 Sociopaths in Your Life.

    Personal Note from the Author: Dear Reader, as strange as this may seem, I feel deeply that I was divinely guided to create Type 1 Sociopath for the gentle, loving souls of this world who love deeply and forgive often. Because I have friends of all faiths and many of who are of the new age/thought movement, I wrote this book to ponder the subject of sociopathy from some of these various viewpoints, and I encourage you to take what resonates with you and leave the rest. I encourage you to dissect this subject from books and recordings from the viewpoints of the victims, mental health professionals, and sociopaths and come to your own conclusions about the differences, causes, and traits.

    Everything in this book is to prevent you from looking back at your relationships and wondering, "What the?"

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. May you have a life filled with everything authentic, beautiful and good.

      Not what I expected when I picked up the book, however I found myself unable to put it down. Thank you Ms. Speers I will look for the characteristics outlined in this book to better protect my family, friends and loved ones. Also myself, since some of them very well may be suffering sociopathic traits.

    Author’s Notes

    Due to the sensitivity and dark nature of this subject, the names, stories, and/or genders have been altered to protect the innocent and not so innocent. Sociopaths, psychopaths, and type 1 sociopaths, (aka conscienceless people) seem to have similar traits, as if they have all learned their behaviors and misbehaviors from the same handbook. Any resemblance to a person you may know is purely coincidental.

    Although this book references Christianity, its purpose is not to promote any one religion. This book is for loving, caring people of all faiths.

    A Message to Those Who Pray

    Pray for Protection before Reading this Book and Anything on Sociopaths, Psychopaths, and Antisocial Personality Disorder.

    "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." –Matthew 10:16-17, KJV

    If you are a praying person, I thought it important to start this book off with this chapter for your protection. It would defeat the purpose if I placed it in the middle or the back of the book. Read on, and you will understand why.

    Are you a person who prays (I mean prays with an a, not with an e) for protection and guidance? Do you believe in a spirit world? If so, this chapter may be of extreme interest to you. If not, simply skip to the next chapter.

    It is said that he who studies evil will be studied by evil. When you study sociopaths, psychopaths, and antisocial personality disorders (or subjects of different kinds of darkness such as domestic violence, sexual assault, child molestation, serial killers, dark religions, etc.), you may attract dark energy, or evil. It is of the utmost importance you pray for protection before and while studying these subjects.

    When writing this book, every time I didn’t pray for protection, I would attract individuals with sociopathic behavior.

    One evening as I was finishing up a chapter, the phone rang. I answered and a telemarketer was on the other end demanding to know what phone service I used. I explained I was busy and happy with the phone service I have. She then aggressively shot out questions: How do you know if you haven’t heard what I have to offer? Don’t you want to save money? You must not want to save money.

    I replied, Thank you, but I’m not interested. I could feel her fuming as I hung up. I had to take a brisk walk to walk off that aggressive energy I was just slimed with.

    Another time, after a few hours of working on this book, I took a break to go grocery shopping. With my mind thinking about what I would prepare for dinner, I turned the aisle and to my surprise, I almost ran my cart into a woman’s cart. Of course, I immediately went into a heartfelt apology.

    You would have thought I ran her over. She ignored my apology as her face distorted, looking like a terrifying jack-o’-lantern as she yelled, Watch where you are going! I can’t believe you almost ran into me! Slow down! Gawd! I can’t believe some people! All heads turned towards us and some peeked around the aisle to see what all the commotion was about.

    Once I returned to my car, I sat back and exhaled for a few minutes wondering, What happened in there? Then it dawned on me: I didn't pray for protection that day.

    Yet, another time, I was too busy to pray. It slipped my mind. I was doing research on sociopaths and their crimes. I decided to take a break and pick up some coffee and a couple of food items. The clerk was checking my food and he asked me how I was doing. I replied I was doing great and asked him how his day was going. At this moment a woman walked up behind me with hot food. The clerk, still ringing me up, replied he was doing great. As I was sliding my card through the credit card machine, I replied to the checker, Feeling great is a good thing.

    All of a sudden, the woman behind me exploded into a rage to the other checker, Isn’t it great to have hot food you want to eat for lunch, and they’re having a full-blown conversation! My food’s getting cold!

    All heads turned our way. She hadn't been there but a maximum of 20 seconds. The checker’s face turned red with embarrassment. I immediately asked myself, Did I pray this morning? The answer was no. No wonder!

    In order to be wise as serpents, it is a good idea to learn about these psychological (and dark) subjects. This knowledge will help prevent you from becoming a victim. However, while you’re doing so, protect yourself in prayer. Once you have a clear understanding, get out. Get in and get out.

    This new awareness will help navigate you through the sea of hurtful and difficult people, so
