Title: Psychosis from extreme dissociation or flight response mood alteration?
Post by: Nevish on May 09, 2017, 04:15:52 PM
I remember reading in the Pete Walker book that the normal consequences of the flight type was obsessions and of the freeze was dissociation, but when taken to the extreme they could lead to mood episodes or psychosis.

Has enyone experienced this?

There does seem to be a connection between trauma and psychosis. You might be interested in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6do5bkUEys.
