Energetic imbalance is another good way of describing it. And yeah when you talk about it not being tied to size - this feels so important. The bound up energy that wants to be freed is the same regardless of the nature of the trauma. What differs in scale and complexity is the protective structures + alarm systems built around it. Which will often correlate with the severity of the trauma / whether it was acute or prolonged / whether it was preverbal etc. there are a lot of variables so I don't wanna over simplify. But I think a lot of people can be in this mindset of "what is down there is really bad because what happened was really bad" or something like that, when actually, when you get down past all the alarm systems, the energy is just the energy.
