…But most of all, why focusing on & blaming victims misses a much bigger story. About perpetrators of violence. And about us, the people watching from the sidelines.

Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

Big ups to the whole team that helped make this with me…5/

Over the course of the episode you can hear me struggle to understand. So I interview folks that have been through abuse of different kinds, who tell me what the media gets wrong about them, why “Stockholm syndrome” doesn’t make sense to victims- and why it sometimes does… 4/

I went on a journey to understand why victims of abuse don’t always act in the ways we expect. And I learned there’s a LOT we don’t get about victimhood— whether that’s in the context of hostage taking, kidnapping, domestic abuse, even cults. 3/

..Because behind “Stockholm syndrome,” a term that gets applied willy nilly to all kinds of victims—there’s a wild & suspect story.

But more than that, it’s a story about what it’s like when something terrible happens to you & you do things the world struggles to understand. 2/
