Yes yes yes, you hit the nail on the head with the BODY. I have spent years reading and reading and reading about narcisstic parents, alcoholic parents, physically abusive parents and why and how and what they do and why and how and what that does to us........mentally and emotionally.
BUT when that person raises their voice, or that staff room door slams a bit too hard or when my 17 year old son jumps out on me from a closet then....
THE BODY does it's thing and the mind is falling falling and falling. Either paralysed by shock or flying fists or a screaming run for the nearest exit...
THIS to me is complex PTSD as I experience it daily. Nicely put, excellently described. Thank you so much x
