In this episode, Kevin Hughs sits down to discuss his latest book, SOCIOMOM: My Story of Terror, Truth, and Triumph. A self-described "recovering optimist" and first-time author, Kevin is deeply passionate about mental and spiritual health and about helping others recognize and overcome the impacts of unresolved trauma. After decades of dissociation and emotional struggle, he found the strength to tell his story in SOCIOMOM, sharing the harrowing truth of his upbringing under the control of a sociopathic mother — and the triumph of reclaiming his life…
Kevin is a veteran, husband, father, drummer, and trauma survivor. He is an award-winning consultant with a Fortune 5 company and a passionate advocate for mental and spiritual health. Born into poverty and abuse in Lynchburg, Virginia, Kevin ultimately escaped his traumatic past through military service, education, and personal healing.
This discussion highlights:
-
How Kevin's past shaped his purpose and current work.
-
Where spiritual and mental health intersect in the healing process.
-
The ways in which Kevin came to realize the truth behind his past.
-
The hallmarks of sociopaths, and how they impact people around them.
