    Интересно читать про особенности развития мозга и про восстановление после травм. Но вот сами случаи, которые описывает автор… так больно осознавать что это все чья-то реальность и такое вообще может происходить.

Quotes

  • Aytan Gurbanovahas quoted2 years ago
    As one family therapist famously put it, we tend to prefer the “certainty of misery to the misery of uncertainty.”
  • Aytan Gurbanovahas quoted2 years ago
    During dissociation, the brain prepares the body for injury. Blood is shunted away from the limbs and the heart rate slows to reduce blood loss from wounds. A flood of endogenous opioids—the brain’s natural heroin-like substances—is released, killing pain, producing calm and a sense of psychological distance from what is happening.
  • Aytan Gurbanovahas quoted2 years ago
    Dissociation is a very primitive reaction: the earliest life forms (and the youngest members of higher species) can rarely escape dire situations under their own steam. Their only possible response to being attacked or hurt, then, is essentially to curl up, to make themselves as small as possible, to cry for help and hope for a miracle.
