I wish I had speakers so I could hear this video, well, maybe I would be upset or triggered by it.

I often think of JD's comment about others understanding PTSD. Her statement was often others don't know and often don't care to know. I myself have found the latter to be true.

To be honest, I care to know, we all should care to know and understand the why's behind things. I honestly do not like to see someone hybernate and even have family members who may not care to know hurt them.

I am more of the opinion of working with a person who is troubled to look at the path they were lead from the beginning and how it may have unknowingly effected them.
I know there are conditions that exist in different brains that are inherited that shoud be continued to be researched and addressed.

But I also know that many conditions are trained into a young brain or even deprived of a young brain. As I stop and look within myself, well, I can see where my brain suffered and still suffers and can't help but wonder how I am going to accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can, and to know the difference between the two. And I cannot help to strongly feel that it is important to find out what is causing trouble for us. It is not just by looking into our past that we see trauma or even an abuse or lack. But to see where we suffered in our growth and work on that.

I understand the brain to be very capable of compensating for a lack. And so that lack should be identified so a brain can be given a path of compensation. In my own experience there are ways that one can help another compensate in a positive direction. I have also seen how compensation can end in not only self denyal but anger and confusion. The key is perception and learning how to really percieve things properly.

I find this very distubing to be honest, I see how often many try to compensate for others and fail and they really suffer and often feel trapped or say "how do I?"

As long as I see people knowing that they are troubled and are afraid to ask for help or even appoligize, well, that tells me we have a long way to go.

The field of psychology is still very young yet and we must continue to listen to the crys for help and keep trying to understand what it is saying, what it means and that we must validate it.

As always, I have to say, it is very important to understand what is necessary for the proper enviornment for a brain to grow and obtain its true potential. If this is continued to be left out we will constantly be back peddling.
