What if the calm stare that looked like strength in a crisis was actually a mask. And what if your honesty and kindness were the exact qualities a human predators look for?
In this episode, Kerry and Dr. Karen Mitchell unpack the hidden mechanics behind human predators — how a brain that doesn’t feel fear uses manipulation tactics to control and brainwash without using overt force.
This was never about you being “too sensitive.” Human predators’ dysfunctional nature is deceptive at its core.
