Cultural chaos is significantly affecting marginalized individuals, triggering extreme stress responses like panic and fear. The sympathetic nervous system's chronic stimulation leads to a freeze response, especially in trauma survivors. As a psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience, I've witnessed this reaction in vulnerable populations, including minorities, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community. The heightened state of fear reflects the abnormal challenges faced today, necessitating connection as a vital antidote to the chaos, offering hope and emotional support to those struggling with overwhelming stress.
The cultural chaos we are experiencing escalates trauma responses, particularly in marginalized communities, highlighting the need for connection to counteract fear and panic.
I've seen chronic stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system lead to a freeze response, especially among those who have faced previous trauma and abuse.
