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. *This podcast episode touches on the themes of trauma, emotional well-being, and resilience in the face of tragedy.

Om Podcasten

Many people have experienced some form of trauma in their life. I decided at an early age that our trauma should not be what defines us; it’s what we choose to do with it that does. I was just 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother. When no one believed me except one detective, I gathered evidence against my father, leading police to discover her body buried in another state.  After featuring my story on Forensic Files, I channeled my trauma into filmmaking and podcasting, gaining widespread recognition as the creator and subject of A Murder in Mansfield, a film directed by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Kopple. I share my unique perspective on surviving true crime and trauma every week, overcoming adversity, society, and popular culture. I also interview fellow trauma survivors, academics, advocates, and storytellers and explore what comes next.  You can learn more about Collier on his website: https://www.collierlandry.com
