Yes that makes sense but I was wondering if that can be made fear. Like if I see a person get hit does that mean it happened to me if I get panicky about it? Or can it just mean I saw it my mom get hit and it brings up fear? If my breathing gets erratic, I get rigid, I yell stop! etc are those body memories and can they be from just seeing a traumatic event?
