How the Hypervigilance in Law Causes Lawyers to Leave the Law with Ed Cottrell

Sarah talked with Karen Gulde a few months ago as part of the former lawyers turned therapists month. Karen talked about her experience of hypervigilance as a lawyer, the experience of her nervous system is constantly activated, and how common that is for lawyers. Sarah’s husband, Ed Cottrell, posted a reaction to that on LinkedIn and shared his experiences in the last year since he left law.  In this episode, Sarah chats more with Ed about his experience with hypervigilance and leaving the law.
