The Role of Powerlessness in Trauma

Not everybody could do LSPSD freezes. I'm going to argue, correct me if I'm wrong on this, that at very least you have an experience of powerlessness to have traumas. The mammals do very badly when they're not moving. We feel like we're dying. So there are three stages of response to stress. It is mild reduction of vagal tone, number one, number two. pathetic number three is when you can't get away, then you shut down when it's so overwhelming.
