Hi Patricia, thank you for reading my article and for such an honest answer. I totally get the metaphor of “electric socket cartoon man.” I often feel this way, especially when triggered by people arguing insults. The research that I did illuminated my entire view of Complex PTSD and living with trauma. I now understand why I react and I wanted to share my findings. I know it’s not a cure, but it does help to understand. Take care from Lizzy.

It’s so exhausting living in a body that constantly feels like a still from a cartoon where the character has touched a live electricity socket. I just want to be able to ‘sigh deeply’ and all the accumulated stress discharges forever.
