I’m glad to read that my research on this topic has been helpful to you. I find it fascinating and helped me a lot to understand why I am the way I am.

I found this article to be refreshingly clear in identifying life-long, internal damage to my brain resulting from repeated mistreatment (as well as inherited genetics).
This internal brain damage is not visible to self or others, except as it shows up in the unwanted and unhealthy behaviors that the survivor continues to perpetuate,
resulting in a restricted, dysfunctional quality of life that I am constantly struggling to survive at age 73.
It describes a lot of what happened in childhood that derailed a promising life, helping me understand why I am the way I am. I can more clearly see that “what’s wrong with me”, and why I can’t “live up to my potential”, has been deeply embedded and mis-wired into my brain chemistry.
And yes, it takes a long time to recover and heal, but what’s the alternative?! Recovery is worth it because it gives me more ability to control my life, and the healing allows me to become more who I really am, my true self.

What a positive contribution! Thanks so much for putting all the brain connections together on one inclusive page. We who survived repeated unspeakable trauma sometimes feel like nobody understands. Obviously, you do!!! You are a blessing!!!
