But flight, is that only meant physically? In therapy this week my therapist talked about the window of tolerance (not sure of the word in English), and that when I fall down beneath it, I am often dissociating, which means I've fled the situation, mentally. But if so, fleeing and freezing can actually be the same thing. Or am I getting it all wrong?





Do you experience feigning as something different than freezing? I would have thought it was the same.
I read the book a long time ago, but I think it said that people with C-PTSD tend to have a "main type" and a subtype. Though it's possible to have different reactions in different situations. It doesn't mean you're always gonna react the same way.
