In this episode Wendy L. Patrick JD, author, speaker and trial attorney introduces us to 'The Stealth Predator.' As described in her article in Psychology Today, this predator is one who gets 'over on others' while flying 'under the radar'. Grooming victims, these predators ultimately betray their victim's loyalty by exploiting them financially, emotionally and sometimes sexually. They are well practiced at engaging in uncharged bad acts. Who are they?

Vic Schermer, MA, psychotherapist considers what makes people vulnerable to stealth predators including history of abuse and trauma, need for approval, unmerited trust in others, feelings of shame, guilt, inferiority. How do we protect ourselves?

Robert Klein Ph.D., psychologist asks whether there is a 'new normal' in social relations such that we accept and even admire the power of those able to con, manipulate and take advantage for their own gain. Can metoo change this social current?
