Funnily enough, in my work we use the metaphor of being “in the box” to describe the exact state you’ve named here - being caught in the traps of our minds, and being dysregulated. I don’t explicitly talk about cPTSD at work, but it resonates a lot with people.
I love this, Leigh. Thank you for writing it.

I’ll definitely check the song out. J x
Oooh, I love that as a way to normalize the feeling in conversations. I'm gonna start using it too outside of my cPTSD circles. Great idea!
So glad you're here and thank you for sharing.
