Hi Sky, I have worked with this information for may years as well. I too had to come to grips with the idea that there was damaged that had occurred to the brain during my trauma. But I only started to heal when I approached the damage as if it were not permanent. Like a stroke victim that has to work long and hard to recover, say, their speech. As a trauma patient I too have to do long hours of, in this case, psychotherapy to recover the pathways that were harmed by the trauma. My therapy helps me recover memory or appropriate response to touch in relationships and response to sounds - many different things that were altered during the trauma. The map is being corrected so to speak. I’m sure all the data isn’t in on whether you can ever recover everything but I think we can use other medical models as examples as to our potential progress at least that is my hope because that is where there is the greatest hope IMO.
