Understanding the default mode network (DMN) and its role in psychological processes such as rumination is essential for scam victims navigating recovery.
By learning about the DMN and subconscious mental processes, victims can gain insight into their experiences, normalize their reactions, and identify triggers and patterns that contribute to distress. Armed with this knowledge, victims can develop coping strategies, cultivate self-awareness, and seek professional support to regulate their emotions and reduce rumination. Ultimately, understanding the DMN empowers victims to take an active role in their recovery journey, fostering resilience, self-compassion, and emotional well-being.
