saw these dynamics illustrated by a young boy who got a shock from touching an electric fence and was so frightened by it that he grabbed on to the fence for security—and wouldn’t let go as each successive shock increased his panic, until his sister was able to reach him and pull him off.
Two bad examples in a row - electric shock tenses the muscles so one is not able to let go - and even if that wasn’t the case, it hardly lends itself to proving a point about abused persons leaning on their abusers! What a weird point
