Is This a Sign of the Fun Trauma Response?

The fun trauma response is a coping mechanism that we learn as kids when our environment is not safest or the most predictable. It means you are letting other people make decisions for you instead of focusing on your own needs. This often happens in intimate relationships, where you are either micromanaging or trying to control other people's reactions and habits. Instead of showing up for yourself, you are trying to control, right? And fix and you're talking about and whatever you're spending energy on them. That is also a recipe for exhaustion, for burnout, for frustration, for deteriorating friendships and relationships.
