James is not offering full-time counselling services right now. There is a focus on investigation. He can offer links to third-party insight and free notes for you to research in your own time for educational purposes only. The notes are for malicious detached behaviour that continues at other peoples expence, by any means necessary. Morally bankrupt, malignant empathy deficit actions and a harmful lack of self-awareness that goes beyond parameters. With regard to ASPD (anti-social personality disorder), review the actions, not the person.

Safeguarding is extremely important to those who have had boundaries abused. This means ensuring that everyone protects themselves from deceptive influence and others who harm, direct or indirect (abuse by proxy). If harm or damage is noted, use the appropriate measures. Dealing with toxic cognitive bias and detachment can be a waste of time, like asking a calculator to microwave food; the hard-wired situations won't understand. It's an internal system, a pointless exercise to assume change in a controlling, harming perception; so others do the work to live healthily. Document and map out everything. Email for the web page link, a handbook with a large third-party list.
