It's not mental.
It's not psychological.
It's not spiritual.

It's bloody physiological.

The AMYGDALA is splayed open - instead of opening and shutting like an eye lid it's OPEN 24/7/365 - open for dealing with fight or flight. ALL THE TIME.

It can't close.

It's not been programmed to.

Do you understand what we're dealing with here?
Thanks for this!

Imagine you can't close your hand - everything gets in it - you have no barriers, buffers or filters. This is why Marsha Linheham said it's like dealing with patients with 3rd degree burns all over their body - because without the ability to close - YOU FEEL EVERYTHING to the nth degree - and have no way of deciphering what it is, so you go into isolation (self protection), anger (why is this happening to me) neediness (somebody help me) self-medication (everything is hurting) etc.etc.

This is the end result of trauma, my friends. One act so intense, so profound that it shook our foundations to the core, moving the amygdala into a frozen state of *open*.

This is the reason why - we have thin skin, no boundaries, and splitting the methodology of the BRAIN of figuring things out. Other parts of the brain need to step in and overcompensate when this contraction of the amygdala occurs.
Thanks for this!

Stupid brain.

The brain is perfect. It's able to heal itself if needed, given the correct remedy. This is possible. It is not the brain's fault that there are disorders but the programming codes that went into it. Simply put, your brain is a computer. Code it with good codes and the output reality will be same. Negative coding - is a virus and chaos ensues.

Don't blame the brain.

This is really scary, but explains a lot. I live as isolated as I can and I still daydream about living by myself in the woods or by the sea. Thanks.
