This week we are talking about hypoarousal and how the body shuts down as it does want to be dealing with situations that may be considered traumatic and or life-threatening. The behaviour and how cults and abusive relationships breach boundaries.
Those breaches become your normal.
We talk about what some of the symptoms and maladaptive behaviours are, if you are experiencing those then go and seek some help from a doctor/therapist.
