Running like hell is not an unrealistic thing to expect in such a situation...
But to continue running on and on in order to deal with that trauma, risking heading face first into MORE trauma...
It's a bad cycle going on here, and the solution is to try something else, because eventually it'll become clear that running isn't working anymore.
The running should be respected and held sacred...
You absolutely should be able to run away and integrate the trauma via that method.
Everyone should be allowed to do that and nobody should give them shit for it.
And of course it's different for everyone re: how long it will take to 'run out' that trauma.
But at a certain point, the running becomes detrimental and no longer serves a helpful purpose.
