- (3-24) Survival Mode: The Protective Mindset of Trauma
When your physical or mental safety is threatened, the mind sometimes acts of its own accord with either flight or fight to protect you. In this episode of No More Secrets, the duo chat about how hard it is for trauma victims and survivors to get out of “survival mode” when the threat occurs every day. They share their experiences with surviving a sociopathic person like Ken and how this mindset even carries into present day after his ultimate passing.
