Inside the Mind of a Therapist Who Thinks Scammers Might Just Need a Hug – or Therapy!
It’s been fun, but as a psychotherapist (I needed a way to earn money while I was writing), little by little, I began to feel the scammers’ pain. True, they make us suffer, but they suffer, too. As we have become more skilled at ferreting out their schemes and scams, their careers have become endless rounds of whack-a-mole. They’re pitted against a population of creative, literate, angry writers. They come at us with a new scam, we catch them, we publicize their gaffes, we mock their desperation, they’re forced to invent yet another baroque scheme, and it all starts again. How frustrating and embarrassing it must be for them. And they’re victims, too!
