Episode notes

Sometimes the whole system floods - and it's not always clear whether that's a trauma flashback or autistic overwhelm reaching

its limit. In this episode we look at flashbacks, including the somatic kind where

the body itself relives the past, and what actually separates them from an

autistic shutdown. Through a detailed worked example, we follow how a careful

listener pieces the difference together - and the complicating moment that shifts

everything. Please listen gently; this one runs deep.
