Hyper-arousal responses to stress preparing for fight or flight: pupils dilate, heart rate
increase, digestion is inhibited, adrenaline increase, blood goes in arms in legs (pituitary
gland and adrenal produce cortisol); we have all the resources to escape from the
frightening situation. And crying; I am in danger
Dissociation (freeze or surrender) the trauma is inevitable
Biological: all the hype-arousal symptoms together with endorphins, dopamine similar
with narcotics -> protects the child from pain, its a natural pain killer, conserves energy,
protection from the predators (some animals will not eat a dead animal)
The younger the child is, the greater the dissociation is.
Dissociation (numbing)
1. Withdrawal, isolation, passivity
2. Somatic complaints (fatigue, headache)
