As far as brains being social organs and needing other brains to heal...when I read this comment of yours a really bright light bulb went off in my head. This is why group meditation feels so good~! I haven't done much group meditation recently but your insight inspires me to dive back in. Thanks.

Thanks. We didnt rehash all that much really. What was traumatizing was the nature of the relationship itself: Having an intimate relationship with an idealized caretaker who seemed to represent fulfillment of every need and desire, but who in reality could satisfy none of them, developing terrible dependency, and then having termination imposed on me.
I can't take credit for the brain as social organ thing. It;s from a book I'm reading. Glad it helped though. I also find it a helpful concept.
