Scott discusses how trauma shapes our sensory perception, creating a heightened awareness of potential threats that can lead to a victim mentality. He explains the dissonance felt when one's internal chaos contrasts with an outwardly calm environment, often driving individuals to seek drama to find a sense of connection. The conversation also touches on the complexities of empathy, highlighting the dangers of weaponized empathy when one absorbs the pain of others without boundaries.In this clip
