@electricbones thank you so much! 2026 feels a lot more approachable when i can write, so i truly am grateful to you.
Also, woah, i don't know much about psychology in all honesty, but that sounds really interesting (maybe this is too much to ask, but i have been meaning to learn something myself about it, so would it be possible to give any book/lecture recs?). trauma is definitely a complex research area when it comes to the brain. reading this, it just clicked to me that then it would obviously affect the nervous system as a result, since they're connected. i don't know why that wasn't obvious to me before, haha. you learn something new everyday. i think it's really cool you're passionate about this, though. it also always strikes me when people say trauma has to be unlearned, like it's a habit of sorts(sorry if that came across wrong)? idkk but it's such an interesting field and i'm happy it can help people in a way. and no need to thank me for asking, it's cool! i hope you have a great day too! <3
