i'll just drop the conclusion

> The body does not distinguish between a predator and a labor market. What it distinguishes is whether the threat has passed. Structural threats, by definition, have not. The clinical question — how do we treat this person’s chronic pain, anxiety, autonomic dysregulation — and the structural question — how do we change the conditions producing the threat — are the same question, asked at different levels of the same pathway.
