Welcome back to Holding Space with Dr. Christopher Barker. In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Barker explores the traits of psychopathy, sociopathy, and antisocial personality disorder—shedding light on what these terms really mean, how they manifest in everyday life, and the concept of the "functional psychopath."

From empathy deficits to the challenges of living and working with individuals who exhibit these behaviors, Dr. Barker breaks down complex psychological concepts into real-world understanding. Are all psychopaths criminals, or are some just highly successful professionals?

Tune in for an honest, educational conversation—and don’t forget to send in your questions!
