CFS & Childhood Trauma

A number of recent studies draw links between childhood trauma & CFS. For some this supports the ‘all in the head’ argument about CFS. However when you see CFS in the physical terms of being stuck in an automatic physical stress response then it makes sense that a traumatic unbringing can be is one of the many ways people’s nervous system ‘learns’ to be on high alert.  Similarly when I work with Post Traumatic Stress, we need to retrain the brain and the body out of a re-occurring stress response (that WAS needed back then) but is now longer needed. So not broken just stuck in a old response, and definitely not ‘all-in-the head’.
