You have to go through all states. If I’m in dorsal during the time my gf is triggered i will have to go to the next state, sympathetic. What im learning is that it doesn’t have to be fight or flight but a safe moment to connect. So maybe we make an effort to “act” by giving each other a hug and affirming words.
