If there are any other trauma or abuse survivors reading this (and I'm pretty sure there are), it's something to keep in mind. Being cold leads to the same body postures that being scared and hurt does - hunching, tensing, pulling yourself in - and so the posture and muscle memory can trigger the same emotional responses, and thought patterns, and frame of mind. Go figure.....
