Is there a name for the situation where someone has experienced a trauma and then becomes so completely overwhelmed they almost get stuck in a loop of confusion and overwhelm and inability to make and stick to a decision?
So for example each time they think they’ve worked it out, set a plan of action and work out what they want to do they start and then hours or days later panic and revert back to the other option? But keep doing that whilst getting more and more distressed that they can’t seem to make and stick to a decision?
