I am a survivor of Stockholm Syndrome as a "crime victim" myself.
Stockholm Syndrome dynamics can also be in any type of relationship.
As a survivor of a crime scenario involving captor and hostage
Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological survival mechanism.
The hostage is afraid for their life and may not even have
the psychological ability to process their predicament.
I didn't, I was in early sobriety.
Stockholm Syndrome definition
-Feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.
-These individuals are generally not harmed by their captors and may even be treated with kindness. A person who develops Stockholm syndrome often experiences symptoms of posttraumatic stress: nightmares, insomnia, flashbacks, a tendency to startle easily, confusion, and difficulty trusting others.
