Sometimes there’s a strong push in treatment centres to work through trauma with limited attention given to the client’s nervous system which could be frozen and numb (Hypo-arousal) or is in a state of Hyper-arousal (anxious, angry, reactive).

There are quite a few different roles that develop in a dysfunctional family system that are underpinned by people pleasing, compliant, victim-based attitudes and behaviours and controlling roles fuelled by passive-aggressive, unpredictable attitudes and behaviours that ensures that the family stays stuck and oppressed, blocking family and personal growth.
