In this episode of Moving Past Murder, Collier shares his personal experience of dealing with a "trauma hangover" after giving multiple interviews about the murder of his mother by his father. Collier discusses how sharing his traumatic story repeatedly took an unexpected toll on his emotional well-being and left him feeling exhausted. To combat this feeling, Collier turns to mindfulness practices to help "reset" and ground himself. Collier reflects on how he and other survivors navigate their parasocial relationships. This leads him to wonder if this "blurred line of reality" may have led Idaho 4 suspect Bryan Kohberger to potentially commit the murders of the four innocent victims.

The episode concludes with Collier sharing a list of these mindfulness practices with the audience to help others who may be dealing with similar experiences.
