Reply to comment by murderedbyaname in Childhood abuse may alter brain function in adults. Study found people who experienced abuse during childhood (but not adolescence) experienced altered functioning in the brain for systems associated with perceptual processing and attention. by MistWeaver80

‘The Body Keeps the Score” It’s a book someone wrote. Can’t recall the author.

‘The Body Keeps the Score’ by Bessel Van Der Kolk. I read this book. It’s really good and (as a traumatised kid), I felt really sad and heavy when I realised how our minds and bodies absorb our experiences and respond accordingly, and in ways many of us don’t realise or understand.

Great book. Author got fired for abusing employees though. Despite researching trauma, he didn’t mind causing some.

Read The Body Never Lies by Alice Miller instead. I think The Body Keeps the Score guy stole her research too.

It is.. but this latest generation of child raisers seems to have broken the cycle more than any other generation, of course kids are still abused and that is very unfortunate but parents these days do seem a lot more capable of showing love to their children. Boomer parents weren’t so much. They weren’t home ever, they were pretty much done with us as soon as we turned 18 and hardly any of them saved for college…
