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.

Hi there Nevish, not sure if it's okay to revisit this topic,
but I'm reading this book now and I think I may be a case of extreme dissociation resulting in psychosis.

If this is still relevant, please feel free to discuss it with me. I'm also interested to learn more about other people's experiences.

Kind regards
