on Friday the 13th Netflix launched a brand new original series called mind
hunter which is about serial killers and today we're gonna dive a little bit
deeper into the psychology about it and if you haven't seen it yet don't worry
because this is going to be spoiler free so stick around psychopaths are
convinced that there's nothing wrong with them so these men are virtually
impossible to study yet you have found a way in near perfect laboratory
conditions hello ladies that's what makes this so exciting and potentially
so far-reaching what's up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we
talk about the problem but focus on the solution and yes today we are going to
be talking about the new original series mind hunter on Netflix so if you have
not heard about this show or haven't watched it it is about some FBI agents
back in the 1970s it takes place around in 1977 and it's when they first start
using criminal psychology to try to get into the minds of serial killers to
prevent more serial killers from killing more people to track down serial killers
and all that kind of stuff so a lot of it is them interviewing different serial
killers who have already been locked up trying to get in their heads see how
they think see what motivates them and all that kind of stuff I've always been
fascinated by these serial killer stories and I think mainly because of
what this show does I just want to know what the heck is going on in their head
I'll be brutally honest with you I have not finished the series yet and that's
one of the reasons why there's gonna be no spoilers here but everything I've
watched so far is amazing so check it out it's definitely awesome but what I
want to talk about today is some of the psychology behind the series this won't
really spoil anything and it shouldn't be a surprise to many people but a lot
of the serial killers who are based on real people real serial killers a lot of
them had a lot of childhood trauma and I just want to talk about that for a
little bit because in most cases like 99.9% of cases people who suffer from
childhood trauma are not going to become serial killers this is just the way
their trauma manifests in there's a bunch of other factors in
there but it's important to realize how much childhood trauma affects us later
in life it stays with us forever and this is something that I just really
wanted to talk about and this show does a great job talking about it because so
many adults walking around the earth today do not realize how much their life
as a kid affected how they are now so I'll use myself as an example first and
foremost I am the child of an alcoholic mother some of you have seen me do live
streams with her I love my mom we have an amazing relationship today partially
because she got sober about 12 years ago I got sober a little over five years ago
and our relationship is awesome but something that was really
eye-opening to me was when I picked up a book called adult children of alcoholics
if you are the child of an alcoholic even if you were adopted I highly
recommend that you pick up this book I'll put a link in the description down
below but this book completely just opened up my eyes to so many patterns
and I was getting into as an adult he started explaining to me why I had so
many trust issues why I had issues at work why I dated the women that I dated
all of these things were attributed to my childhood and also explained to me
why I used to be a habitual liar one of the symptoms of adult children of
alcoholics is that we lie even though it would have been easier to tell the truth
and we don't know why we do it and so much of that is explained and I started
to see how all of these traits were carrying on in my life even though it
was 30 years ago when it happened this book adult children of alcoholics not
only do I highly recommend that any child of an alcoholic or addict read it
I always tell my clients that if they have children they should read the book
to to look out for potential signs that may arise because real quick statistic a
child of an alcoholic or addict has an 80% chance of becoming an addict
themselves but pretty much a hundred percent of them well let's say closer to
90% of them will develop these symptoms and
they'll have issues with relationships later on in life the interesting thing
about this book - the author Janet Watts she actually wrote another book because
children who were sexually abused they also had similar symptoms to adult
children as alcoholics so I'll put a link to that in the description below as
well if you want to check that out this these are things that are happening on
this very subconscious level that so many people refuse to address a lot of
it has to do with trust issues a lot of it has to do with relationships there
are people who keep getting into toxic relationship after tastic relationship
and they don't realize a lot of that stems from the childhood eventually my
mother and I are going to put up a course at the rewired soul comm
discussing different relationship patterns and why a lot of people keep
getting into these bad relationships or they are having trouble in a very
healthy relationship for example with me my parents split up when I was four
years old both of my parents have very unhealthy relationships so growing up I
never had a good example of what a healthy relationship looks like what I
saw as a loving relationship was not loving at all
my mother had issues with my stepdad my father he had issues with the women he
dated and that is what I saw so children who grow up in a house where the not
necessarily the parents stay together but they have a good relationship
together they're less likely to get into toxic relationships later so a lot of
stuff for me that came up that I saw these patterns later in life were
happening to me still came from an inventory a personal inventory that I
did and pretty soon I'm going to give you all a worksheet where you can start
doing this and diving deep into your past and seeing what kind of traits that
you have based on your childhood but again this is the rebar so we talked
about the problem but focus on the solution so if you are having any
difficulties or struggles in life be sure to reach out to somebody seek out
therapy seek out support groups read some of the books that I've recommended
that are in the description below because they're going to enlighten you
and open up your eyes and then once we acknowledge that there
is a problem we can start working towards the solution there's a lot of
people neglect it and they refuse to look at that stuff and they continue on
this pattern of destruction or getting into toxic relationships or having
issues at work or having issues with friends and you know the point of life
is to you know find our old version of happiness regardless of what we have so
I highly recommend that you check out some of these books the links in the
description they are affiliate links so what that means is that they do not cost
you anything extra but they help support this channel so I can make more videos
