Mary Turner Thomson is a British author and speaker best known for her memoir The Bigamist, which recounts her experience of deception and betrayal by a Psychopath. Her second book The Psychopath relates her experience post-revelation and how she rebuilt her life in the wake of this life-changing experience.

The story attracted international media attention and inspired documentaries and television adaptations. She later wrote a follow-up book exploring the aftermath of the deception and her journey rebuilding her life.

Mary now speaks and writes about fraud, coercive control, resilience, and the psychological impact of relationship-based crime.

In this episode, Mary shares her harrowing experience of being deceived by a bigamist and psychopath, exploring the complexities of online dating, the impact of ADHD on relationships, and the healing power of writing.

Through her journey, she emphasizes the importance of community support, the evolution of language around trauma, and the need for survivors to move forward and celebrate their resilience.

Mary also discusses the publishing landscape, offering insights into self-publishing and the importance of sharing stories to help others.
