This has been on my mind for a bit and I decided to put it out here and see you opinions.

Do you think that a child comes into this world with the DNA to be hypersensitive, and because of what the child experienced reacts the way that it does?

In the way that it does, I mean to react with dissociation or creating a part that can deal with what’s happening.

Or.

Do you think that a child comes into this world with no predisposition/DNA that would make it react in a way that would result in dissociation or DID?

I feel like this is a chicken or egg question, but I was just curious.

I feel like I have tendencies to be hypersensitive but I don’t know if they were caused or if I came into the world and reacted to what happened to me in ways that caused it, because I was hypersensitive.

I have worked with children for the past 20 years and know that some children are more emotional and sensitive to things that scare them or overstimulate them. I don’t have knowledge of what their family environment is, it’s just an observance.

Just curious.

Any thoughts?
