Wiley, I know you have. You needn't explain. I only hope I didn't disrespect the topic.

A long well written series you have there.For me, I spent some 30 years getting therapy for ptsd, so I didn't want to get into any more discussion........

I like that word Fawn.....A relative once said of myself..." She becomes anything that you want her to be" and I realized that he was probably right. I used to want to please everyone.

Shame is the manifestation
of the emotional flashback. The fear, the sense of profound abandonment, the bewildering sense of being unloved where every instinct expects love to be there, is deserved: it all boils down to a sense of overwhelming unworthiness, and shame at being so.
Shame devastates self-worth, the natural instinct we have to love and appreciate ourselves.
This is what C-PTSD sufferers come up against constantly, and puts forward one of the greatest lies of all: that we are weak and ineffectual, fragile, powerless, cowardly, lacking in character... In fact, to survive with these feelings for years, to maintain any sense of getting on with life despite, to counter the constant punishment with the joie de vivre that is also a truth of our living, to actually sometimes be happy--takes the greatest courage and strength!
