When the nervous system is stuck in trauma, it plays scary fantasies 24/7, stories of threat, humiliation, or control.
That constant fear is what drives all four adaptive trauma patterns:
fight,
flight (avoidance),
freeze (rumination),
and fawn (people pleasing).
Each one is the body’s way of surviving an endless alarm. If those fantasies aren’t healed, they start to dominate the mind.
The person begins believing them, then acting them out — trying to control fear instead of processing it.
But real processing means internalizing this truth:
G-d still cares for me, even when I feel shame.
Through slow, steady breath work, and the daily practice of compassionate boundaries, the body begins to trust again — fear softens into awe, and awe dissolves the hatred that trauma once grew.
That’s how abusive thinking turns into abusive behavior: the body keeps reliving danger, and the mind mistakes domination for safety.
