Hoo boy, the way both TBIs and my extreme depressive states both caused memory loss and explosive anger really makes me wonder if we’re going to learn that long-term trauma causes injury to the brain. I don’t know enough about neuroscience to know if it’s a founded theory, but—yikes, maybe that’s why my overstimulation issues got worse after college.
Brain damage and emotional trauma are very linked and in this blog, we will see how emotional trauma can affect your brain. Contact us for m
Hey guess what it's accepted theory, long term trauma does indeed cause physical, marked, visible-on-MRIs brain damage.
Hmm weird it's almost like when I say "physical disability within the brain and mental disability within the brain are not as easily separated as one might think" it's because mental disability is often either caused by or directly causes physical damage to the brain and thus there is really no sharp divide between brain and body. Your brain is an organ inside of your body, it can get hurt and be sick just like any other organ inside of you. Only difference is that it's what's piloting the meatsuit.
I haven’t read it yet myself, but my whole family (we all got PTSD) has highly recommended a book “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel Van Der Kolk about the effect of trauma on the body and brain. For anyone who might be interested in more reading about this!
Oh yes all my homies love The Body Keeps the Score. It has been suggested reading many times in my circles.
