I plan to blog more about how I understand some of these trigger states and how it relates to trauma. I do think there’s a decent amount of written work, not sure how “canonical”, but I’ve read some great stuff that from sources I’m surprised I haven’t heard more hype about. The most useful stuff I’ve read so far is the first three chapters of this book. It has hugely sharpened my thinking.
I agree that a lot of trauma discourse on our chunk of twitter is more for used on the personal experience/transformation side, and doesn’t let itself well to bigger Theory of Change type scheming.
