As far as running away from trauma...
As I keep saying, you keep running for too long and eventually you're going to run face first into MORE TRAUMA, rendering your run for the sake of integration USELESS at that point.
He hasn't encountered any serious APPARENT trauma during his run so far... there are things that COULD HAVE been traumatic, like Space Cowboy keeping him in a chicken coup and buttraping him nightly. That would have been traumatic.
Then there have been the more passively traumatic things, like hanging out with psychotic, broken mentally deranged, drug addled hookers in Mexicali and doing God only knows what kind of disgusting drugs and whatever else with them...
Yeah, that's a POTENTIALLY traumatic situation, but nothing overt. Nothing too OBVIOUS.
But now, the tide's turning... now he's going into OBVIOUSLY POTENTIALLY TRAUMATIC territory where he's risking his life and safety. Crossing illegally into Mexico presents a barrage of possible traumas... it's safe to say at this point (and for weeks now actually) that his time of "USEFUL" running has ended.
