It occurred to me today that perhaps Stockholm Syndrome could be a self-preservation phenomena that occurs in victims who have been exposed to repeated abuse as children by their parents or guardians. Does anyone know of any research that may shed some light on this?

Would anyone be able to refer me to previous episodes of the podcast which address the issue of moving out of one's parents' house?Edit: A little over a month after posting this I completely moved into a house of my own. My learned helplessness was so overbearing that I wasn't even processing the necessity of moving out at the time and my ability to do so. Removing myself from that toxic environment was a critical tipping point for me; everything has been monumentally better for me since.
