What exactly is happening to people going through trauma?

We often ask people going through abuse why they do not just leave or why they allow a situation to linger for so long. Sometimes we even ask why they do not fight back and share what we would have done in a similar situation. I have been having questions like that for a long time, and decided to go down the rabbit hole of understanding trauma and developmental issues generally. This is my first research-based video on developmental issues in human development, and it's focused on helping people understand what's going on in the bodies of survivors, so we can move from victim-blaming to actual help.
