An interview with psychologist Janina Fisher about dissociation in the face of trauma. Janina describes “structural dissociation” as the process where parts of our Self respond to traumatic experience not only with Fight or Flight, but also by terrified freezing, calling for help, and desperately seeking to attach out of fear of abandonment, and total submission.  She describes the process in therapy where you can begin to notice these reactions to triggers in the present, and respond to them with compassion, instead of becoming them.
