maybe you mean the brain is changed, especially by chronic childhood abuse, so that we respond differently in later life. survivors brains are overdosed with cortisol, have less GABA, and hyper-react to emotional stimuli. that's why the new neuroscience tools (mindfulness, meditation, brain based exercises) are aimed at helping us calm the brain, create new neural pathways, and increase our empathy and compassion thoughts toward ourselves.
and yes, that is all a great deal of work.
