This video describes a common trauma personality (what we just think is our "real" selves which is most often a combo of hyper-vigilance and hyper-empathy) created as a result of varying degrees of childhood emotional abuse, neglect and trauma-- at the hands of caregivers who struggled to provide general emotional, relational and behavioral predictability and stability (including issues like boundaries, enmeshment, parentification etc - what I often call "eggshell parents and eggshell partners/relationships.")
There are several signs related to this trauma personality which are described—and then we explore what to do about challenging our nervous system stories we have —as they relate to our patterns of hyper-vigilance and hyper-empathy. "Story follows state."
