In the aftermath of trauma, change, challenge, and reminders of the past can unexpectedly trigger hyper- or hypo arousal. You may lose time, meaning that you may have little awareness about what happened to you for a period of time.
“Today, we turn to one person to provide what an entire village once did: a sense of grounding, meaning, and continuity. At the same time, we expect our committed relationships to be romantic as well as emotionally and sexually fulfilling.3”
