Why She Won't Take the Plea Deal (Laura Owens LPC Analysis)

In this clinical analysis of the Laura Owens case, I explore why she won't take the plea deal, and the "Victim Mask" and how a high-conflict personality uses external validation to maintain a narrative of innocence. I also break down the "Plea Paradox" and the psychological dilemma that occurs when a desperate need for public approval prevents a perpetrator from admitting guilt.
