We were Traumatized, as Children

I am reading The Body Keeps the Score, and I highly recommend it.

You can get the Kindle version, or the Audible book - or use the text to speech feature, that is so good, you think a person is reading it.

When I was working in Silicon Valley, in the Nineties, we had plenty of therapists. The Valley was full of them, of every kind imaginable - and new kinds were being invented every month.

We were there because we had been traumatized, and we knew it. The less fortunate didn't know this, but they were affected anyway.

Trauma effects our brain, and its hormones - and our behavior. Those close to us, are usually aware of this - but the victim is usually not.
