The
Trauma-Coding Cycle
Write code "Just trying to work..."
Brag: "Look how smart I am..."
Feel watched "Everyone will see
this..."
Perfectionism activates "Must make it flawless..."
Coding gets harder "Why can't I think
clearly?"
Anxiety rises "Everything feels
threatening..."
More perfectionism "Can't make any
mistakes..."
Code feels threatening "Every line is a
potential failure..."
Every line is torture "Why does this hurt
so much?"
Can't stop - it's survival now "Must keep
going or I'll die..."
What's Really Happening:
• Your trauma brain always needs a crisis and manufactures it (if its not present)
