Episode 8: Repairing the NET
Send us Fan Mail Burnout healing is a complex process, and it helps me to picture PDA individuals as tightrope walkers whose safety net is damaged and broken. In order to safely walk again, we desperately need a proper net underneath. “Rebuilding the net” is a concept I have used to troubleshoot the many angles that PDA people need support in order to discover their best selves.

Expanding the "F" Trauma Responses
This is an ongoing project as part of a book I'm working on with SallyCat's PDA to help explain PDA behaviors in part through the lens of trauma.
We believe that the current understanding of Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn didn't encapsolate the range of behavior for PDA individuals, and that the realization will speak to how all humans react when they go trough trauma.
