Perceived LIFE THREAT (Parameter #3 of the Stockholm Syndrome)

The third parameter of the Stockholm Syndrome is the perceived life threat. Through neuroception, our nervous systems are constantly reading signals in the environment for safety and threat. When we feel safe, we are able to access higher states of consciousness and our social engagement system allows us to connect with others. When we sense danger, our mobilization system of fight or flight become engaged to get us out of danger. However, when the nervous system senses a life threat, it collapses into a "freeze" response. In this immobilized state of overwhelming stress, a person cannot intake new information. Their brain and nervous system is completely shutdown. Over a period of time, dissociation may develop, where there's a mind-body split and the person zones out in order to escape the pain and overwhelming stress. This is an adaptive survival response to a repetitive perceived life threat over time. This happens in ongoing situations of abuse and trauma. For some, the post-2020 perceived life threat is the virus or other people as the vectors, while for others the perceived life threat is the tyranny. We have all experienced moments of this state by now.Show more
