Inside the Mind of a Therapist Who Thinks Scammers Might Just Need a Hug – or Therapy!
And there it was. Shame, the great motivator. Having facilitated support groups with felons in jail, and with heroin addicts in treatment programs, I knew that, in the company of others who share a similar history, someone can recover from a life of bad choices, even when their loved ones have abandoned hope, and their parents wonder how such a cute baby could end up, in this case, working in the shadows as a professional swindler.
Clearly, the way forward for our scammers, and a way out of our lives is … a support group! Imagine it. Con artists from all over the world, with their fingers calloused from typing reams of fake promises, with their pasty expressions and thick bifocals attesting to their hours of making us miserable, gathering remotely to help one another change the trajectory of their unhappy lives.
